Loading material classification

Hi,
I am trying to load into BW data from Material Classification and cannot find a standar extractor.
I need to load the class, characteristics and their values in relation with each material.
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
Ignacio

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.

To load material classification from SAP R/3 to BI 7.0

Hi,
Theres a requirement at my end to load material classification data (data that u get to see in MM03 in the 'Classification' tab for a material) from R/3 to Bi 7.0
I did see a few threads on this; tried it out; in vain. Can someone please forward me a step by step guide to achieve this requirement?
Thanks in advance.

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

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).

Import Failed loading Material Classification data Links

Hi Friends
Please help me in solving the issue.
I am doing Data Migration, The data is provided in Excel sheet.All the data related to Material is imported successfully in MDM.
But the Material Classification links ( 40K+ rows ) is throwing Import failed error message - screenshot attached.
I have already unmounted repository, mounted again , and started the Repository after verifying it.
Even though this Material Classification links file is throwing the same error .
splitting the file into 10000 rows also throwing the same error.
But when taken only 10 rows in an excel it is importing successfully.
Please suggest.

Initial load of material classification

Hi,
We want to start using GTS to maintain tariff codes and to assign materials to tariff codes. We will start off with loading tariff codes in GTS from a dataprovider. However, we do not want to start from scratch with assigning materials to tariff codes. This information is already available in our SAP system. Does GTS provide a way to import the existing SAP material master data and load it into the material classification in GTS? If not, what is the best way to start this effort?
Regards,
Ed

Hi,
There is standard transaction where you can do mass classifications in GTS but i think there is a limitation to 3000 products at a time and in my view, it is not very effective if you have hundreds of codes to be assigned to products and it is very time consuming..
Alternatively, you will have to build a customised program and get all classifications saved in text file and load them up which is what i have done.
In my view, after implementation of GTS, tariff and commodity codes ( Include Classifications ) are supposed to be maintained in GTS by ITC and transferred over to Feeder system ( Commodity code is the only master data to be transferred over from GTS to Feeder and there is a standard transaction for doing initial transfer ).
Bad point about this standard is you will need to ask your Basis to activite the change log file in system to keep track when the commodity code is transferred.
Thereafter, you must have batch jobs running regularly at GTS and Feeder to do the transfer.
Im new in GTS so what i have said might not be entirely correct. Im still learning..
Thank you.

Delta loading of the material classification

Hello,
I use 1CL_OMAT001 datasource on order to extract the material classification from R/3 into BW.
The load works in init/delta.
If I change the characteristic value from its value A to ' ' (re-initialized) in R/3, the delta loading will not take into account the modification in BW and therefore, in BW I will always have the value firstly defined (A). But I would like to see ' ' for that characteristic.
Fortunately, when I modify the characteristic value from A to B, the delta loading will take into account the modification and there will be "B" in BW.
Did you notice the same problem ? What did you do then ?
Anybody have a solution ?
Thanks for your answers.
Vanessa.

Hi,
we are using the same datasource and we planned to go for delta. but could not manage to do so. the data we are loading is in the range of approx 300000, so rather then going for delta we are doing full load daily with the deletion of previous request. when we think the data is getting huge we do a full load for a required period and the change the selection for the next.
eg: in the infopackage selection for last year we had fiscal year period set to 001.2005 to 012.2005 then once the year is over we change the selection to 001.2006 to 012.2006 and through out the year we have a max of 1 mil records so works fine with us. check this with your requirement.

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.

Texts of Material classification

Helle dears,
I'm trying to extract the material classification from ECC to BW.
It works for the "attributes" but I don't know how to do for extracting the texts.
1/ Attributes
I used the transaction CTBW for generating the datasource for attributes:
Basis Datasource: 0MATERIAL_ATTR
Client: ***
Class Type: 001
Obj. Table: MARA
DataSource type: ATTR
DataSource: 1CL_OMAT001
So my datasource with the attributes of the material classification is generated and works in ECC/BW.
2/ Texts
Some of the fields of 1CL_OMAT001 have texts.
So I tried to use too CTBW as below:
Basis Datasource: 0MATERIAL_ATTR
Client: ***
Class Type: 001
Obj. Table: MARA
DataSource type: TEXT
DataSource: 1CL_OMAT002
But when I want to save, I have the following error message:
" Only "attribute" or "transaction data" are allowed as type "
So how can we extract the texts of the Material classification attributes?
Best regards,
Vince.

hi,
Material classification is nothing but material with classification attributes. The transactional data is loading different attributes in the MD, but to load text you will have to map it to 0MATERIAL_TEXT only.
For the attributes text you will have to find the standard text objects for them, if they are not present then you will have to create customized DS based on the text table of attributes.
regards.
Arvind.

Material Classifications Hierarchy

Hi all,
Could someone help me to build the material classification hierarchy in BW. They have some classification data in R/3 and we need to extract that into BW. We would be able to achieve this by maintaining external hierarchies. I would like to know the detailed steps or some documents to achieve this task. I will really appreciate your replies.
Thanks,
Joe

If you have hierarchy maintain is R/3 side, you can directly load it.
And if you wanna create hierarchy in BW follow this link:

Error While Creating Material Classification Characteristic DataSource -

Hi All,
    I am creating the Material Classification DataSource 1CL_OMAT001 with CTBW in R/3 with the following info:
Basis DataSource = 0MATERIAL_ATTR; Client = 200; Class Type = 001;
Obj table = MARA; DataSource Type = ATTR, DataSource = 1CL_OMAT001
I have added all the characteristics with 'New Entries' button and the following are the details after saving it:
   DataSource = 1CL_OMAT001
   Characteristic Name = ABCDXYZ
   Item No =   '    ' (blank)
   Maintain Status = N
   Characteristic = 1CL_AABC001
   Typ = CHA
   While adding the MATERIAL_GROUP as characteristic it got an error because of Reference Characteristic since it is reference to Table MARA. Finally, I didn't add it.
   When I click the 'Generate' button to generate the DataSource then it is giving the error of <b>'BW Metada is incomplete'</b> (CLBW008).
   What is wrong with it and how could I fix this problem, please ?
   Thanks in advance.

I am not too sure but this might be the cause of error. Data doesn't need to be in client 100, but the characteristic needs to be defined in the class if I remember it correctly.
To do a quick check, open report program RCLBW_STRUCTURE_GEN in SE38, there is a call to FM RSA1_SINGLE_OLTPSOURCE_GET (around line 169) put a breakpoint there in the editor (display).
Now run your CTBW generation, it should stop at the breakpoint. You should check the value of field GT_CLBW_SOURCES-IOBJNM in the debugger - it would likely be the characteristic name.
Now, go to SE37, do a single test of FM RSA1_SINGLE_OLTPSOURCE_GET, and specify this same value for field I_OLTPSOURCE and execute. You will likely get a sy-subrc of non-zero.
Repeat this in client 200, check sy-subrc.
If you are getting sy-subrc 0 in 200 and non-zero in 100; you will either need to create the classification in 100, or generate it in 200.
If this doesn't work, let us know.

Error while generating material classification data source in R/3

Hi,
I am trying to generate the data source for material classification in R/3.
I have created the data source entry in CTBW and added the classification fields required for the data source. But while generating the data source i am getting an error, which says "BW Metadata is incomplete".
Is there any step, that i have missed? Please advise what needs to be done.
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi Santhosh,
The note seems to be quite old and may not be applicable since we are on the latest support pack.
We are using two different clients, one for configuration and the other for test data.

What is the impact - Activating Change Logs for Material Classification Dta

To activate Change Logs for Material Classification Data I must first set the flag for "Multiple Objs Allowed" for the Class Type 001 Material Class. I am curious of what the impact of setting this flag will be. Also, is there a way to measure the DASD impact of activating the Change logging for this data.
Thankyou
Kevin

In addition to the performance impact the process of turning on Change Logs for Classification data will convert the tables KSSK and AUSP to use an internal SAP number as a key instead of the Material number. This will cause problems for any custom programs that access those files directly and expect the material number to be the key. This file conversion occurs during the execution of program RCCLUKA2 which is used to Flag the change logs for existing records. This can be reversed by running report RMCLINOB. Because of the above impact we decided here to NOT implement this change in production.

Hi...
Thank you all for reply.
I have solved the problem. But this was not related to RSKC.
This was due to a material code DVD77ELR-D2 which was not created correctly. I have removed the hierarchy assigned to this material and marked it for deletion.
Now the hierarchy has been loaded perferctly.

Urgent help with Material classification

Thsi is regarding data into BW for Material classification.
I am tryign to create the extractors as suggested in BW expert & in the forums posted by others.
I did create 1CL_0MAT001 .but i did nto understand where to add the charerceristics & further steps. I have aroudn 15 charecteristics.-also i did not completely understand the Process of creating via CTBW t.code.
It woudl be really great if someone could explain.
Can anyone pls help me with this.
This is realy urgent.

Hi Chris,
Choose the transaction SBIW (Customizing for the BW source system) and the menu path Business Information Warehouse  Customer-defined DataSources  Cross-application Components  Classification System  Maintain DataSources for Classification data.
To maintain a DataSource, proceed as follows:
Specify a Basis DataSource that has an InfoSource you want to enhance (for example, 0MATERIAL_ATTR). Choose a client, a class type, and an object table from which you want to transfer the classification data (for example, 100, 001, MARA).
Click on Save.
Then select the line in CTBW and select Characteristic.
Specify the characteristics that you want to assign to the DataSource. Click on the generate datasources. The DataSource is generated, and given a status (N = new, for a newly created DataSource, and R = ready, following successful generation) and a technical prefix 1¬CL_... is added to the name
A Metadata upload replicates the DataSource along with its relevant properties in BW, where it can be assigned to an InfoSource.
A Metadata upload on the InfoObject/source system level has to be carried out so that the DataSources created in the OLTP are also available in BW. You access this function by clicking the right mouse button on Source system for InfoObject  Replicate DataSources,
Hope that helps. If you need any other info kindly let us know.
Regards.
