Make Vendor Classification characteristics mandatory

All,
We have a vendor classification class and a characteristic. We have defined this characteristic as mandatory in transaction CT04. However when I create or change a vendor (transaction XK01/XK02) and go into classification I am still able to save the document without filling in reqired fields. I do get a popup saying that I haven't filled out the required field, but if I just press OK I'm still allowed to save even if some of the classifications mandatory characteristics are blank.
We really want users to be forced to fill in all required characteristics. Is there a way of doing this? There is a SAP Note - 661368 - BAdI for required entry field check in the classification. Even by making the fields mandatory in the BADI, we are able to go back to the prev screen.
I also tried implementing a user exit - EXIT_SAPLCLFM_002 (include ZXCLFU02). The pop up works, but we land up with some other issues like additional tabs coming on the screen or the SAP pop up coming up (resulting in 2 pop ups). So I am thinking is this may not be our solution.
Hope that you can give valuable responses to my issue above.
Thanks! Liz

Hi,
In the standard system you are always allowed to save the classification
even if it is uncomplete, you receive the warning message about the
required characters and if you save anyway, instead of preventing the
save it will change the status of the classification from '1' (Released)
to '3' (Incomplete). This is standard as the user should be allowed to
save the classification when incomplete and then come back later to
complete it at a more suitable time.
There is a userexit which you can use to change this functionality,
please review note 337262 which explains how to use this userexit
to prevent the save of incomplete classification.

Sandra

Function Module for Vendor Classification characteristics

Hello,
Iam trying to extract Vendor Classification characteristic values for each vendor into BW.
I see the drawbacks of using CTBW to creata a datasource,
1. you will only get the first value of a characteristic.(as multiple values are not supported)
2.You will get a seperate datasource which would only give the characteristic values , then again I need to join related infoobjects to 0VENDOR_ATTR info objects.
Pls suggest the best way to achive this.
Thanks
Jagadish

hi Jagadish
yes you are right if you multiple value it is not pertinent to use tx ctbw.
A good way would be to create a generic ds based on a function module that deals with call function with a bapi.

Extractor for Vendor Classification as hierarchy

Hello,
The standard don't extract more than one value for the classifcation. Then, I want to extract this data as a hiearchy.
Example R/3:
Vendor Classification
V1 G1
V1 G2
V2 G3
V3 G1
V3 G3
Then, the datasource should create this hierarchy:
G1
...V1
...V3
G2
...V1
G3
...V2
...V3
...V1
¿Could you give me an ABAP code to do this and to create the DataSource? ¿More ideas?

Hello Syed,
Classification data for objects like material or vendor needs to pulled through classification data sources which needs to created specifically through transaction CTBW.
I am not sure whak kind of information you are looking for...but if it is the information about classification then it has to be created.
You can just make a search on classification data sources as there are numerous threads about it.
If its just classification characteristics like vendor type then you can look for master data sources for these objects.
Thanks

Vendor classification

Dear all,
In our company vendor classificaiton is maintained for all vendor, for this classsification we have 4 characteristics, out of 1 is material groups.
Say for example Material 0001 is assigned to vendor ABC in the classification, like this 30 different materials group are assgined to different vendor.
Now if i want to change all the material group and description in characteristic for this classification. I doubt so, then all vendor i need to make new classification for new material groups..right?
But my company want to change all materials groups as new number and description.
Please advice me how to hnadle this situation
thanks
Rs

first you have to create all the material group in the config than you can assign them in char of vendor class.
it's not hard to do that but when you refer to old classification for that vendor than it will give you an error.

Vendor _company code mandatory

could some one tel me how to make the company code mandatory while creating the vendor using xk01

Hi,
This can not be controlled via field selection. You have to go for Transaction Variant for this in SHD0
Refer link;
[Step By Step Guide - Creating Transaction Variants|http://www.mortenhjorthnielsen.dk/Security/transactionvariants.htm]
In SHD0, enter following
Transaction Code XK01
Transaction Variant ZXK01
Now click on "Create" button
Here fill following
Vendor
Company Code
Purchasing Org.
Account Grpoup
And press enter, it will give the Screen entries pop-up
Here first fill 'Screen variant short txt" and then select Company Code as "Required" and click on "Enter" button in screen
Now press enter and save the info record, a pop-up will come save it after filling Screen variant short txt
And finally the main screen appears for the Full Vendor Master fields just save this by clicking on "SAVE" button on top.
It will as for "Package", specify and save it then it will ask for Request, create new and save it. This will be repeated for all the screens you have passed.
Now in SHD0, initial screen, go to "Standard Variants" Tab,
here enter Name as "ZXK01" and click on "Activate" button beside this field
Now go to XK01 and check plant will become a mandatory field.
Also take help of ABAPer if required.

BAPI for Finding Materials which have Classification Characteristics

Hi,
Does anyone know of an RFC or BAPI to return a list of materials which have a specific Classification Characteristic
Most of the functions I've found will return the all the classification characteristics if you know the material number and the class.
The other search tools and reports all seem to work with the SAP GUI and are quite interactive. I need to be able to execute an RFC or BAPI without SAP GUI.
In my case, I know the Class Type and Class and I know the characterstic and attribute value but need a list of matching materials.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Ashok
Actually my requirement is that i want to post the Vendor expenses thro' Vendor Portal and for that Validation will not helps us.
So thro' BAPI 's only we can post the expenses ...........
I suppose that its clear for you now.

Trigger CREMAS change pointer for vendor classification change in XK02/FK02

Hi,
I have a business case where I need to trigger a change pointer of type CREMAS whenever a client modifies vendor classification in transactions FK02/XK02. I realize classificatiion/characteristics have their own change pointer types (CLFMAS, CHRMAS, etc.), but I was wondering if there was a user exit/BADI available for this scenario where I can manually create a change pointer. I need the characteristic data to be part of a custom IDoc type (based off of CREMAS03), and it's no problem to include this data in the custom IDoc, but I need a way to trigger the change pointer if the clients changes vendor characteristic data, and nothing else.
I also went into transaction BD52 for type CREMAS to see if there's another row for classification (CLASSIFY), but couldn't figure out the right object type.
There's a BADI called CACL_VALUE_CHANGE that triggers when vendor classification is changed, where I can generate my change pointer, but it's triggered before the client saves which means I would have a useless change pointer.
Does anyone have any ideas on what my options are? I hope I've elaborated enough
Thanks,
Chris

I figured out a way to do this which was to implement the BDCP_BEFORE_WRITE BADI which allows you to interrogate a change pointer based on an IDoc message type before it's saved to the database. For starters, change pointers for message type CLFMAS must be activated in order for this to work, even though I'm not interested in those eventual IDocs.
In the IF_EX_BDCP_BEFORE_WRITE~FILTER_BDCPV_BEFORE_WRITE method of the BADI implementation, I was able to loop through all of the change pointers about to be created and this is where I was able to obtain the vendor number the classification is being applied to. I actually added another line to the internal table that's changeable in the method for CREMAS and it worked out well.
The only thing that was difficult was to debug this baby. No matter how you set the breakpoint, it just never hits it until I discovered it's called using an UPDATE TASK. I found an unorthodox method to debug this situation on the web which is to force an endless loop before your custom code such as.........
while sy-subrc <> 98.
endwhile.
<custom code here>
Once your process runs, it will be sitting in an endless loop in an update task which you can view in transaction SM50. From here, you can highlight this line then you can click on "Program Session > Program > Debugging" to debug your code. It's not something I was used to, but it allowed me to debug in the end. I would hope there's better ways, but this worked for now.
I hope this helps someone else!
Cheers,
Chris

MM Document Reversed/Cancelled to make Vendor Debit Balance ZERO

Hi,
The document is MM-Credit memo.
Vendor Dr
To GRIR Clearing
To Contract repairs
Now i wanted to make vendor balances zero by off setting the same accounts.Kindly advice me how to do it.
I tried this scenario - Created PO-GR-IR and Credit Memo,After that i tried to cance the invoice in MR8M,now it is giving the message Invoice cancelled and accounting document can be posted manually.
How can i post the accounting doccument manually by credit vendor and debit GR-IR clearing,Contract Repairs.
Kindly advice me
Thanks
Supriya

Hello
Go to MIR4 and see the document that has been reverse.
From there itself you click on Accounting document, it will show you what the accounting document that has been posted in the system. (nothing but FB03 view)
Now go to FBL1N vendor line items report and run with all open items.
Though, essentially, the balance of the vendor has become zero, still both the original document and reversal document still shows as open items.
Now, you go to F-44 and clear them manually.
If you have proper set up for automatic clearing, then it should clear by using F.13
For automatic clearing please check the configuration in OB74.
Please let me know if you have any issues.

Ravi
