Mandatory entry in the Characteristic value - CT04

Hello Folks,
I created a new characteristic (classification view) for the material master, and I am trying to put the characteristic value as mandatory entry . Is it possible ?
Any answer will be very helpfull,
Regards,
Flavio Marcilio

Dear Flavio Marcilio,
In IMG under Logistics General -> Material Master -> Field Selection
or
You can maintain a transaction variant where in you can specify whether the fields are optional, display only, required entry, suppressed.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas620/helpdata/en/eb/5fab41d79b11d296190000e82de14a/content.htm
In the SAP Reference IMG, you can create transaction variants. Choose Basis Components -> Application Personalization -> Tailoring of Application Transactions -> Configure Transaction-Related Display Values for Fields (Transaction SHD0). Transaction variants allow you to preset values for fields in a transaction, set field attributes, or hide entire screens.
To execute a transaction variant, you define a variant transaction using the Transaction Maintenance transaction (SE93).
Once you have entered a transaction code and short description, choose transaction type Transaction with variant (Variant transaction).
To define a variant, enter the name of the transaction and the name of the variant. You can then use the new transaction code to start the special variant of the transaction.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Naveen.

How to change the characteristic value in a item of sales order by FM?

Hi experts,
I guess the FM BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE can implement my requirement. But I have made many testing program, that's all failed. I don't know which part is not correct. So could you give a very simple sample to me? Just change the characteristic value in a item of sales order, not do any change for other parts. Thanks in advanced.

CE4XXXX is not having the the PAOBJNR(profitability object no) updated in BSEG for the revenue accounts.
from which table can i capture the characteristic values for a line item posted in BSEG.

When we run query how it gets the characteristic values and attributes.

Hi,
When we load transaction data it chacks characteristic values then SIDs then DIM IDs then insert DIM IDs into fact table but when we run the query how it checks and gets the characteristic values and attributes.

when we run the query how it checks and gets the characteristic values and attributes.
Just the opposite way you have described. It gets from the corresponding masterdata tables, with the connected SID.

How to sort the characteristic values in layout

Hello,
I wont to use a layout with key figs in data columns and two characteristics in lead columns. The problem is that the sorting of first characteristic values is displayed in alphabetical order. How can I change the order to another exact defined combinations for characteristic values?
I read the thread with the same problem (see below the link), but the solutions are not satisfacroty.
Has anyone another idee?
Thanks for any help!
Larissa Bräutigam

Hi Larissa;
I had the same problem and they propose this:
Attributesu0092 order that the system displays in the Planning Layout
That was not the solution presented to the customer. Because of system performance, a programmer was there and created a VBA code. But I wasn't there so I don't have the code.

User Exit/Enhancement to populate the characteristic value during runtime in FB50

Hi
I have a requirement where in FB50 when I enter the GL Account , Tax Code, Tax Jurisdiction code and Assignment and press enter I need to default some of the characteristics value (which comes in the popup when you click on the Profit. Sgment ).
Please let me know if any enhance or exit is there to achieve this.
FB50 screen.
When I enter the GL account and click on Profit Segment button below popup will come . I want to default Rebate field with some value.
Thanks,
Sumit

Hi Gangadhar...
Thanks for your reply. Actually our requirement is not with the fixed values .
We need that , when we go to FB50 and then provide the GL account and there is one column called 'Assignment'. As soon as we fill the value in assignment column and then if I click on Profit. Segment button for that row the value from the 'Assignment' column should get populated in the Rebate characteristic value field.
For eg.
As I gave Assignment field value as 1234 and when I click on Profit. Segment button the Rebate characteristics value should get populated with 1234.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Sumit.

Updating a characteristic value (CT04)

I have created a new class with corresponding characteristic. My characteristic has a single value, "01" representing document version number. I the MM, i add this new class to the Classification view for the appropriate material number. However, i have noticed that when we go to update the value in the characteristic, from lets say "01" to "02", we first get an error saying the value cannot be deleted (but the system lets us do this anyway) but more importantly when we do change the value, our hope was that the value in the MM class would automatically be updated as well. That doesnt seem to be the case as I have to physically go into the MM record and delete the class, then re-add it with the new updated value for the update to appear in the MM record as well as AUSP. This is my first time dealing with classifications/classes. Can someone give me guidance on how to achieve something more easily maintained?

In the CLMM transaction, select "Set and Change Values".
In the next screen, enter in 001 for material class in the class type field. Then add the characteristics you wish to change on the tab labelled "Chars". You can just add a new value to change all instances or you can specify an old value to change and only those with matching values will be changed.
Now click on the "Target Objs" tab. Enter in the material numbers you want to change. Click on the indicator "Overwrite Existing Values" to replace values, leave it blank if you are adding new values for a characteristic that allows multiple values.
On the menu bar is a button labelled "Test". Click on this to do a test run and see the log that is generated. When you have all the right selections, and the log looks correct, click on the button to the left of the Test button to execute the changes.
You can also use this to mass change assignments in certain classes. On the first screen, the first choice "Copy Values assigned to object" allow you copy the values from one object to another.. say for instance all the material class values from material A to Material A, B and C.
The third choice is "Assign value in matrix". This is very cool as it gives you a spread sheet form with the all the objects, (materials), listed vertically, and all the characteristics listed across. You can see the current values, and manually change any of the ones you want to.
This can be a very powerful transaction. It should be limited to only a handful of people

Changing the Characteristic Values on the Query

Hello Masters of the BW Domain
Is there a way to display the values of a characteristic in a report based on a condition? I have a characteristic called Rebates with only 2 valid values (Y and N). Instead of showing it as Y and N, I want them displayed as "With Rebate" for Y and "No Rebate" for N. Is it possible to do this without changing the underlying data in the cube and doing the translation at the query level? Would it require a user exit to accomplish this? All the user exits that I've run into only dealt with dates and not with transforming text values.

As Paolo suggested you can add text for the info object. Else if you are using BW Web Reports you can use the Table API(similar to user exit) to do the conversion.
case i_iobjm .
when 'rebates'.
    if i_value = 'y'
      c_cell_content = 'With rebate'.
    elseif i_value = 'N'
      c_cell_content = 'With rebate'.
    endif.
endcase
*Please check for the syntax.
If you are using BEx, VB macros will be an option.
The best approach will be to store text for the info object.
Thanks.

Value of an operation parameter depending on the characteristic value

Hi,
Is it possible to set the value of the Normal Duration (or any other parameter of the operation) depending on the value of one characteristic?
For example: The value of my characteristic A is 2, so I want to set Normal Duration = 10*(Value_of_A) = 20 for the first operation of the standard network. Is it possible in standard SAP???
Thanks in advance,
Luis.

Pricing based on the characteristic value of the variant

Dear experts ,
I have a material that has source inspection active .
Its inspection characteristics are P1 & P2 depending on the value of which the net price changes.
When a PO is created , quality inspection lot is generated , result recording is done where the value of P1 & P2 are entered .
GR is done .
Now based on the value of P1& P2 correct price shud be picked at the time of GR.
Is this possible ?
Regards
Anis

Dear Anis,
This is very much possible. In fact dairy industry works on the same principle. The pricing takes place only after Inspection lot characteristics are posted.
This is long exercise, wherein you need to maintain certian special condition types and access sequences. You can get more information at buidling block library Link: [http://help.sap.com/bp_bblibrary/600/BBLibrary_Start.htm]

How do I change the Issurer for each site and what initial entry sets the issuer value?

Cert Server 4.7; I have many web sites with at least three domains; all accessed through a reverse proxy(s) version 3.4. If I have a site www.cf.com and a site tst.www.cf.com, do they each require a different issurer, namely www.cf.com and tst.www.cf.com or just a common domain name cf.com? If I am using one reverse proxy for two sites - tst.cf.com and dev.cf.com How do I handle the server certificut install?

Once you have loaded the site into SEO Tool, click the arrow down next to the site name in the left column and then select an HTML file to add the Meta Description to.
Do this with every HTML files in your website.

CT04 - Changing characteristic Value Check procedure

Hi,
I want to change the value check validation for a an existing material characteristic from from the allowed values list to a chaeck table. I intende on on using the 'Other Value Check' button in the Values tab of CT04, but unfortunately this button is greyed out.
I would like to know if it is possible to start using a check table for an existing material characteriestic, and if so how?
Thanks,
Roy

Hi Roy,
The only way I've managed to do this was to delete and re-create the characteristic. It gets complicated as SAP wants you to remove all entries for the characteristic before deleting it which means you need someone able to do the LSMWs to remove then re-load the data once you've re-created the characteristic.

John

Characteristic values and CT04

Hi all,
I have a user that wants to store default values for certain fields in the characteristics of a class. For instance, I create a material...if the characteristic GR_PR_TIME is 5...then assign 5 to the GR PR Time field for the material. Problem is when the user goes to CT04 to change the characteristic value. As soon as the user deletes the old value they are prompted that the value is already associated with a material and as such should not be deleted. How do I work around that? I suggested multiple allowed characteristic values with one marked as default but my user doesn't like that suggestion. What am I missing here? Should this not be a class based solution?
Thanks,
Mat

Check if you can use material and material groups or product and product Info objects in BW. If they suit, just assign the data source that you cerated in R/3 to these info sources and that is it.
