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.

Change Documents for Material Classification data Changes

Dear Friends,
We have configured custom classification objects for material master and also we are able to maintain the material characteristics using MM01, MM02 and also using ALE interface. But I am not able to find the Change Documents in any of the table CDHDR & CDPOS. Please let me know what needs to be done to capture the change documents for a material classification changes in this case.
Many thanks for you inadvance.
Beast regards,
Mallikarjun.

Change logging of all Classification (including Material Classification) is controlled in the Class type configuration.
SPRO -> Cross Application Components -> Classification System -> Classes -> Maintain Object types and Class types -> Select Object Table = MARA -> Double Click Class Types under MARA -> Select Class Type 001 and Display -> Check whether "Change Docs" check box is checked on.
Also check that another flag "Chg. docs for Class" is set on all Objects under the Class type too (by double clicking the Objects folder for a Class type).
If the Change docs flag is checked on for the relevant Class type and Object then change docs are logged in CDHDR and CDPOS tables for object "CLASSIFY"
Also the "Change docs" flag cannot be set unless the "Multiple objects allowed" flag is also set in the Class type configuration.
Please refer [SAP Note 65124 - Classification Change Documents|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/65124]
Also the above note says and I quote: If "Multiple objects allowed" indicator is not set, start the RCCLUKA2 program. The classification data are converted and the indicator 'Multiple object types allowed' is set. Now you can set the indicator 'Change documents' in Customizing of the class type. However, it only says that change documents are generally possible for this class type. Therefore you have to select objects under 'OBJECTS' for which the change documents are to be written.
So if the Class type doesn't have "Multiple objects allowed" set (along with Change docs flag not set), there is also a conversion that needs to be run using program RCCLUKA2.
Also when you transport the configuration to a target system, the program RCCLUKA2 should be run again, refer [Note 379180 - Classification data disappeared|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/379180 ]

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.

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

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.

How to integrate cProjects with R/3 to get the Material Classification Data

Hi all,
We are installing the cProjects and we have to integrate it with R/3 to get the Material Classification data.
Is any one has developed the object link, which links cProject and Material Classification data in R/3?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi Venkat,
Refer SAP cProjects Guide for Implementing an Object Link. This Guide also includes User Defined Object Links.
You should be able to find it on SAP Service Marketplace. In case you cannot, pl send me your email ID, I will mail the same to you.

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).

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.

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.

Report to display material master data changes

Hi,
Is there a standard report available to display all changes to material master data over a specified time frame i.e all changes made alst week,all chnages made today.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Appart from MM04, you can also have a look at MM03 or MM02:
1. Goto MM02 or MM03 transactions and enter the material.
2. Select the relevant views for which you want to have the details.
In the Bar menu follow the path Environment -> Display changes.
Here you will get the list of changes done to the fields with Old and
New values.
Appart from these two tools, there is not any other report provided in the standard for this target.
I hope this helps!
Esther.
