Material Characteristics in ME51N

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement to upload the material characteristics in transaction ME51N. How can i upload the characteristics assigned to a material in this transaction>
Please suggest.
Thanks and BR,
Sahil

Hi Murugesh,
Let me explain the requirement.
1. First, we assign a characteristic class to material in Material Master. MM02
2.. In transaction ME51N , when we create a PR, then we associate a material from material master to a PR item .
If that material is configurable means it already has a classification maintained in the material master and we want to add more characteristics at PR level, then we click the "Configuration" button and then we maintain the characteristics.
After adding the characteristics, click the"Save" button , then a PR is created.
3. Now, I again display the newly created PR. The new characteristic values are displayed for the material.
4. I go to material master and check the characteristics in the classification for the same material, then i found there are only old characteristics maintained.
So, through LSMW I need to upload new characteristics for existing materials on a PR level. I don't want to reflect the new characteristics in the material master.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Sahil

Standard Reports on Material Characteristics

Are there any standard reports where I can analyse stock balance and sales by material characteristics?
Thanks.
Justin

You can see the stock only for materials.
Characteristics and their values are not created as materials, unless they are BOM components.
In this case, you cannot analyse stock based on characteristics.
If you want to do, then you have to built some custom process to enable it.
Hope this helps you

Change Sales Order material characteristics

Dear Pals,
I have a question for changing Sales Order material characteristics by item.
If i want to change the sales order's item conditions, I can modify the internal table "XKOMV" in user exit "USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE"
Is there any internal table for Sales Order's characteristics can i use   in user exit "USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE" ?
Or any FM or BAPIs can get the internal table for characteristics and characteristics value for Sales Order item?
Thank you!

You can use BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE.
1. Get the SO detail using BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST.
2. MODIFY the ORDER_CFGS_* internal tables and update.
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST'
          TABLES
            order_cfgs_value   = gt_char
            order_cfgs_ref       = gt_char_ref
            order_cfgs_inst      = gt_char_ins.
        MODIFY gt_cfgs_*.
        CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE'
         TABLES
            order_cfgs_value   = gt_char
            order_cfgs_ref       = gt_char_ref
            order_cfgs_inst      = gt_char_ins.

Printing material characteristics assigned to class 001

Hi
i am working on printing material characteristics.
i am using vc_I_GET_CONFIGURATION FM to get all the characteristics associated to the material.
now i want to print the changes in the bottom under the label Fields changed/Modified.
if i change any characteristic value(s) and save the form and issue output i need to print the form and bottom i need to print the characteristic that is changed.
may i know how can i capture these fields? my characteristics are assigned to 001 class and hence data is not stored in tables...
let me know if there is any solution to work around...
thanks

hi
i am not able to trace which characteristics are changed....
may i know where the characteristics are stored for class 001

Idoc for material characteristics

Hi Friends,
I know the IDoc message type for material batch characteristics (SKU_COLOR , SKU_SIZE , SKU_WINDOW, etc.,) is CLFMAS. Does anybody know the message and basic type for Material characteristics (ART_WIDTH , ART_DEPTH , ART_HEIGHT, etc.,) ?

Hi,
You need to do the ALE confguration for change pointers of materials to trigger the idoc. Please search in SCN , you will find information reagrding change pointers of Idoc.

Change Material Characteristics

Dear All,
My requirement: Need to change material characteristics through a BDC or BAPI.
thru BDC, it is not allowing to change from the tcode mm02/mm42, don't have an idea BAPI for changing material Characteristics.
Thanks,
Ravi

Characteristics are part of Classification system, so you would not find a specific BAPI for material characteristic maintenance. Use the below function to update characteristics of any classification relevant object including materials.
CLOBJECTKEY is Class type value that you see when you select Classification view in Materiam master MM03. Play around with it comparing its interface with MM03 classification.
Also classification can be accessed Sap Menu -> Cross application components -> Classification system
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE_KEY'

Purchasing document forms are usually customized as per requirement of the client through ABAP. So your requirement can be fulfilled throgh ammendments in the said form through help of ABAPer. You need to notify them where the data needs to appear on the form and from which table the data is pulled from.

Function module to get material characteristics and coresponding value

Hi experts,
I have got one problem...when we go to t code MM03..we select the views for a specific material for Basic Data1,Basic Data2 and Classification..in classification we get the material description and its corresponding values...
These values we receive through specific class and its corresponding object....I want some Function Module which will allow me to receive the description and corresponding value for the material which will automatically retrieve the data for that material using the class and object...
Please help me to sort this problem...
Thanks in advance

TRY these two FMs
1) CLAF_CLASSIFICATION_OF_OBJECTS and
2) Bapi_objcl_getdetails.
for first one it gets the all characteristics assigned to the class even though the values are not assigned
in second case onle the vlaues assigned characteristics will get

Extractor for Material Characteristics - Variants

Hello Gurus,
There are few characteristics that we have configured in ECC system for Materila. If you go to MM01 or MM03-> BASIC DATA 2 -> Client Specific configuration -> There is an option of creating a Cross-Plant CM. You can create additional characteristics once you click the Configure Variant button. There are values that are assigned to the Characteristic Value Assignment.
I would like to know is there a Standard Extractor, that gets these characteristics.
Thanks in advance
Full points to right answers

Thanks for your reply again.
The following are the parameters:-
Basis Datasource : 0MATERIAL_ATTR
Client: 100
Class Type: 001 (Material Class) It does not allow me to select any other class
Obj Table: MARA
Datasource Type: ATTR
Datasource : 1CL_OMAT001
And then I double click on characteristic, to add my characteristics.
The system generates a TEXT DATASOURCE for individual text characteristics, which when using RSA3 gets the relevant data.
But when I execute the datasource 1CL_OMAT001, it does not retrieve any data.
Just to clarify: The SBIW node says "Maintain Data Sources for Classification Data".
Does it mean, it will extract data from the CLASSIFICATION tab of the MM03.
B'cas I am interested in the "BASIC DATA 2" tab -> Client Specific Config-> Configure Variant (button).
Thanks

Need Help Regarding Material Characteristics Validation in MM02

Hello Experts ,
Here I am stuck with one requirement . I need to validate the combination of characteristics entered in MM02 transaction.
For this reason I have Implemented method MODIFY_INPUT of BADI CACL_VALUE_CHANGE . But this method captured characteristics one by one, not all at once. but as per my requirement I need all the characteristics at once to verify the combination.
How can I check and validate all the characteristics before the material is saved ?
Your help would be appreciated.

Hi
Check the material master records of the materials M1 and M2 for the conversion ratios maintained between the base UOM and the case. Guess, the 0.3 case of the material M1 might be having units that are equal to one case of material 2.
The standard functionality is not related to the quantities. It is only to substitute the materials.
Thanks,
Ravi

Material Characteristics

Hi
I have already posted this doubt. In MM03 if i go to Material Classification, i get a list of description based on the Class. Now as an ABAPer i need to get the Description. I dont know the Tables.
I used the FM 'QMSP_MATERIAL_BATCH_CLASS_READ' to get the Class of a Material by passing the material. Now how do i get the Characteristics description from the tables.
Please let me know.

Hi,
Use function CLFM_SELECT_AUSP to read AUSP data for a material..
DATA: t_ausp LIKE ausp OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CALL FUNCTION 'CLFM_SELECT_AUSP'
EXPORTING
    mafid                    = 'O'
    classtype                = '001' "For Materials
    object                   = <Your Material Here>
FEATURE                  =
CLEAR_BUFFER             = ' '
KEY_DATE                 =
WITH_CHANGE_NUMBER       = ' '
TABLE                    =
I_ATZHL_SAME_INI         = ' '
I_AENNR                  = ' '
TABLES
   EXP_AUSP                 = t_ausp[]
EXCEPTIONS
   NO_VALUES                = 1
   OTHERS                   = 2.
IF sy-subrc EQ 1.
****No Characteristic Values for the Material
ELSE.
ENDIF.
Also if you want the description of a characteristic then you can get it from CABNT..
ATINN = Internal characteristic number, SPRAS = sy-langu,
ATBEZ is the characteristic description..
Also, AUSP will contain values only if they are maintained in the classification tab of the material,
If just characteristics are visible with no values that means no entries in AUSP..
Hope this helps..
