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,

You can also use predefined import map for pre-delivered repositories like Material, Product etc.

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.

JeremyDear 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.

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). -
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
HimanshuHi,
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.

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.

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,

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,
BhaskarHi,
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.

Classification data extraction questions
Hai All,
I have few questions regarding the classification data extraction from R/3 to BW.
Does anybody know if I can do the following(classification data sources in CTBW):
1. Extraction of Characters that permit multiple value valuations
2. Extraction of characters intended for intervals
3. I know that only FULL update is supported for classification data as of BW 2x. Does anybody know if deltas are supported in any of the new versions upto BI 7.0?
I appreciate if any body can answer these questions or refer to documentation or SAP notes.
Thank you very much.hi,
please take a look
1. oss note 604412
Symptom
The selection after the key field during the extraction of the classification data from the class type that permits several objects (MULTOBJ = .X in table TCLA) does not work. The selection only works in such a case if an object number (CUOBJ from table INOB) is entered as a selection criterion.
Other terms
OBJEK, CTBW, RSA3, extractor checker
Reason and Prerequisites
This is caused by a program error.
Solution
Implement the source code corrections.
3. delta should be supported since 'old' version, see 'old' oss note 323412-Create change pointers for BW
(other notes for delta problem 410741, 413130)
DataSources, Symptom
You must implement this correction if you also want to use the DataSources of the classification, that are created using Transaction CTBW, for delta uploads.
Additional key words
CTBW_BW_CHANGE_POINTERS, ALE
Cause and prerequisites
Making DataSources delta compatable for the BW.
Solution
Program enhancement in update of the classification. -
How to transfer Material Master data information from ECC to CRM
Hi ,
Changes to the Classification data of Material master for the class type-001 and Custom
ZFIELDS on mara will trigger the Interface functionality. Any changes to the
custom zfields and classes or characteristic values on Material Master must transfer the information from ECC to CRM. By using RFC .
Regards,
PavanHi,
You need to use change pointer to do this. Go to transaction SALE,
expand MODELLING AND IMPLEMENTING...
expand MASTER DATA DIST...
expand REPLICATION OF MODIFIED DATA
You may need to maintain distribution model in SALE.

Classification data extraction
Hi experts,
I am looking for the document or steps to extract the classfication data say for example material classification.
Thanks in advance
saiHi,
Please follow the steps below :
Tcoce: CTBW
Procedure:
1. Enter a basis data source that you want to extend.
2. Select the client, class type, and object table from which you want
to copy classification data.
3. Select the data source to which you want to assign characteristics,
then choose Characteristics.
4. Choose New entries and enter the characteristics you want to assign.
5. If you want to define a sequence for the characteristics, enter position numbers.
4. Statuses are assigned automatically: N = New: this status appears before a new data source has been created.
R = Ready: the status is converted to this status after generation. If you change a characteristic, reset the status to N before generation.
Choose Data source to generate the data source. This also generates the characteristic data sources for characteristics of data type CHAR.
An internal key starting with "1CL_..." is assigned as a data sourcename.

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,
ManojHi 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.
