Load 'Material Classification' data in to BW from R/3

Hi all,
We want to load the 'Material Classification' data in to BW from R/3. There is no 'Classification' tab with Tcode 'MM03' in R/3. We have very little MM functionality on R/3 with just MARA table. I have to start from the scratch on R/3 side. We don't have any MM Functional consultant.
I read the 'Understand the R/3 Classification System and How to Extract Classification Data into BW' document from BWExpertOnline. It will help on creating the DataSource.
How can I do the Material Classification on R/3 side and what is the best way to proceed on it?
If any one has worked on this type of request, could you please pass any document or share their knowledge, PLEASE ?
Thanks.

Do you know what classification data you want to define/add in the R/3 system? I think it is not a technical exercise, more of a functional work where you first have to determine your classification requirements and configure the system accordingly. Do you know what classification you want to use (any examples of how you want a particular material to be classified)? If not, this is not going to work without functional help.
You can explore the config part in SPRO->Cross-application>Classification, and setup the data for classification from main R/3 menucross-application componentsclassification systemmaster data (characteristics, classes).

What next...After Loading 'Material Classification' data in to BW from R/3

Hi all,
    We want to load the 'Material Classification' data in to BW from R/3.
    0MATERIAL_ATTR and 0MAT_PLANT_ATTR are the Basis DataSources and the following DataSources are created with Tcode CTBW:
    1CL_OMAT001, 1CL_OMAT002 & 1CL_AMFG002 (for Texts).
    Suppose the DataSources are Replicated, the InfoPackages are executed. What is the next step, please? Do we have to create any InfoCube after that ?
Thanks.

Hi,
First you have to create info objects to load the data into.
You then have to create infosource and assign the datasources to the infosources.
Once you have finished your replicates and made sure that all rules (transfer and update) are active you execute the info packages and load the data to the info objects.
After you finish with the data loading, you then run the attribute/hierarchy change run to activate the master data you loaded and then load your transaction data.
Cheers,
Kedar

CIF of material classification data

Dear Experts,
Since a recent technical upgrade to our systems, I have seen a change in behavior of the integration of material classification data from ECC to SCM. Before the upgrade, classification data transferred with the initial CIF of the material. If material classification did not exist on the ECC material at the time the material was added to a new integration model and activated, we "missed the boat" so to speak. Classification would not automatically transfer (CIF) to APO when if finally was loaded in ECC, even if the application area/integration models were correct. As a work-around, we would be forced to generate and activate a material model that specifically excluded the material, then generate and activate another material integration model that included it again. Then the classification would transfer.
After the upgrade, the opposite condition is true, the "initial CIF" of the material will not transfer material classification data at all, it will only transfer if the classification data is added/changed after the material itself is transferred to APO. As a work around for this, if the classification data is already (correctly) loaded in ECC at the time of the initial material CIF, we are changing the status of the material classification from 1 to 3 and back to 1, just to trigger a change, then the classification is transferred instantly to APO.
Are there configuration settings that will allow material classification data to CIF in both cases: with the initial CIF of the material to SCM and also in the event of a change and/or addition of classification data in ECC? Thanks for any advice you can provide.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Dear Matt,
What you are looking for is achieved by downloading the customizing objects from R/3 to SRM.
This is a must before you download materials/services from R/3 to SRM.
Customizing objects are 4:
DNL_CUST_BASIS3 - This takes care of Basis settings in SRM for downloading.
DNL_CUST_PROD0 - This takes care of Material number conversions from R/3 to SRM.
DNL_CUST_PROD1 - This CO actually brings matl groups from R/3 to SRM as product categories.
The result you can see in trx COMM_HIERARCHY (not in COMMPR01 which is for materials/services.
There in R3MATCLASS you can see replicated and locally crated prod categories
and in R3PRODSTYPE you can see the material typs from R/3
DNL_CUST_SRVMAS - This takes care of Customizing: Service Master
The transaction for this is R3As in SRM
and you can monitor the same through R3AM1.
also you can check QRFC of R3 and SRM with SMQ1 and SMQ2.
The next step after this is material/service downloading from R/3 which is done with the same trx R3AS but business objects
Material and
Service_master
You can set fileter in trx R3AC1 for this.

Material Classification Data extraction fron ECC

Hello Experts,
We are trying to extract material classification data from ECC 6.0 to MDM 7.1 using mdmgx T-Code. We are using the standard SAP list of tables which is uploaded in MDMGX. On performing 'Start Extraction' it gives us the following errors:
Class and characteristics info returned is blank
Blank XML returned for port LT_ClassAttributes
Class and characteristics info returned is blank
Blank XML returned for port LT_Classes
Kindy advice if we are missing anything.
Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth.

Hi Eliza,
I think rather than class type there should be Class Name e.g.
-<ClassHierarchies>
<Class>LIQUID_SAMPLER</Class>
<ParentClass />Zparent<ParentClass />
<Name_English>LIQUID_SAMPLER</Name_English>
</ClassHierarchies>
-<ClassHierarchies>
<Class>Zparent</Class>
<ParentClass />
<Name_English>ZPARENT</Name_English>
</ClassHierarchies>
One of the <ClassHierarchies> should not have ParentClass because there must be one class which is parent of all classes e.g. here ZPARENT
You should check that may be 001 is here also defined as class-name not class type. I would also say check do you have other ParentClass as Class name or not, except 001. Try to import this data in the manner as shown in MDM import Manager Reference Guide page 162 onwards using Create Hierarchy, after import check with business/functional consultant. Please have a look into it,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/4b/72b8e7a42301bae10000000a42189b/MDMImportManager71.pdf
You can also use predefined import map for pre-delivered repositories like Material, Product etc.

Material Classification Data changes

Hello,
I need to track the changes done to material classification data.
I can not see changes through MM04 transcation. Is there any way i can see the table where changes are stored or way changes are tracked?
Best Regards
Himanshu

Hi,
Generally CDPOS & CDHDR are the history tables but cannot see the classification related changes. As i mentioned above tables can see the changes of classification, but make sure that for the related field "Log data changes" indicator checkbox need to select in SE11. If you are not able to check this box please refer the OSS Note 943559 . Thanking you.

Need Material Classification data function module

Hi all,
i have requirement to fetch material classification data through function module.
is there any point to know releted function modules of classification data of material data.
Thanks in advance,
Bhaskar

Hi,
In KLAH you get the list of Classifications linked to a Material. Give OBJEK = MATNR.
By giving CLINT in KLAH you find the corresponding CLASS.
in BAPI:
BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL
pass following values:
OBJECTKEY = KSSK-OBJEK
OBJECTTABLE = 'MARA'
CLASSNUM = KLAH-CLASS
CLASSTYPE = KLAH-KLART
KEYDATE = sy-datum
UNVALUATED_CHARS
LANGUAGE = sy-langu
the output would be in
ALLOCVALUESNUM
ALLOCVALUESCHAR
ALLOCVALUESCURR
based on the type of characteristic.

I found out the 0CLASS_TYPE and 0CLASS_NUM but i cant get the transactional data for the values and link them with the material.
Any help or documentation will be of help.
Thanks a lot

Hi everybody:
I'm uploading too classification data. Could anyone send me this wonderful document to [email protected]
I'm trying to upload classification data for class type 001 (material) and I reach it, but I have some problems with 023_batch. I've modified 0BATCH by permitting attributes (this attributes are R/3 characteristics). DataSource comes from MCHA table. Material is key field in this table, and when I upload batch master data, system says me that there are duplicated records. But really they are no duplicated.
Well, is a little bit confusing, but if somebody knows the solution... please say me.
Please, do not forget send me the document.
Kind regards, and thanks in advance.

MM Process flow:
Process Flow
The typical procurement cycle for a service or material consists of the following phases:
1. Determination of Requirements
Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and control. (This can cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The regular checking of stock levels of materials defined by master records, use of the order-point method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are important aspects of the latter.) You can enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically by the materials planning and control system.
2. Source Determination
The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and existing longer-term purchase agreements. This speeds the process of creating requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
3. Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations
The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
4. Purchase Order Processing
The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions, you can generate Pos yourself or have the system generate them automatically. Vendor scheduling agreements and contracts (in the SAP System, types of longer-term purchase agreement) are also supported.
5. Purchase Order Follow-Up
The system checks the reminder periods you have specified and - if necessary - automatically prints reminders or expediters at the predefined intervals. It also provides you with an up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
6. Goods Receiving and Inventory Management
Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and underdeliveries of ordered goods.
7. Invoice Verification
The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified of quantity and price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This speeds the process of auditing and clearing invoices for payment.
Pur info record is nothing but a master data like thing which will be maintained for different materials to determine the prices etc.It Specifies the number that uniquely identifies a record.
For Example: an info record is based on Plant Vendor and Material
Based on these three the Material Prices will be calculated
for different combinations different values are taken into consideration.
During pricing it brings these values automatically based on this info record.
Use ME11 Tcode to create this record.
Below are few important Common Tables used in Materials Management Modules:
EINA Purchasing Info Record- General Data
EINE Purchasing Info Record- Purchasing Organization Data

Table for Material Classification data

Hi gurus,
Can anyone please tell me which table we can see data for Material Classification.
If we goto MM03 and select the classification view we see two fields in the screen Package Type and Package Size. I want to know which tables keeps that data in.
Please help!
Thanks

Each of the characteristics shown in the Classification view of MM03 is an entry in table CABN. Each of the CABN records has a characteristic number (field ATINN). Look up the data in AUSP using your material number in the OBJEK field and the ATINN value from CABN and you'll find the characteristic value in the ATWRT field.
