Material Classifications Hierarchy

Hi all,
Could someone help me to build the material classification hierarchy in BW. They have some classification data in R/3 and we need to extract that into BW. We would be able to achieve this by maintaining external hierarchies. I would like to know the detailed steps or some documents to achieve this task. I will really appreciate your replies.
Thanks,
Joe

If you have hierarchy maintain is R/3 side, you can directly load it.
And if you wanna create hierarchy in BW follow this link:

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.

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

Error While Creating Material Classification Characteristic DataSource -

Hi All,
    I am creating the Material Classification DataSource 1CL_OMAT001 with CTBW in R/3 with the following info:
Basis DataSource = 0MATERIAL_ATTR; Client = 200; Class Type = 001;
Obj table = MARA; DataSource Type = ATTR, DataSource = 1CL_OMAT001
I have added all the characteristics with 'New Entries' button and the following are the details after saving it:
   DataSource = 1CL_OMAT001
   Characteristic Name = ABCDXYZ
   Item No =   '    ' (blank)
   Maintain Status = N
   Characteristic = 1CL_AABC001
   Typ = CHA
   While adding the MATERIAL_GROUP as characteristic it got an error because of Reference Characteristic since it is reference to Table MARA. Finally, I didn't add it.
   When I click the 'Generate' button to generate the DataSource then it is giving the error of <b>'BW Metada is incomplete'</b> (CLBW008).
   What is wrong with it and how could I fix this problem, please ?
   Thanks in advance.

I am not too sure but this might be the cause of error. Data doesn't need to be in client 100, but the characteristic needs to be defined in the class if I remember it correctly.
To do a quick check, open report program RCLBW_STRUCTURE_GEN in SE38, there is a call to FM RSA1_SINGLE_OLTPSOURCE_GET (around line 169) put a breakpoint there in the editor (display).
Now run your CTBW generation, it should stop at the breakpoint. You should check the value of field GT_CLBW_SOURCES-IOBJNM in the debugger - it would likely be the characteristic name.
Now, go to SE37, do a single test of FM RSA1_SINGLE_OLTPSOURCE_GET, and specify this same value for field I_OLTPSOURCE and execute. You will likely get a sy-subrc of non-zero.
Repeat this in client 200, check sy-subrc.
If you are getting sy-subrc 0 in 200 and non-zero in 100; you will either need to create the classification in 100, or generate it in 200.
If this doesn't work, let us know.

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.
Thanks,
Manoj

Material group hierarchy in SAP Retail

Hi Guru's;
I'm looking to load hierarchy of material group in BW.
In the SAP source system the used standard transaction WG21, WG22CLWM for managing retail material group hierarchy.
I suppose that from those transaction there is a BW hierarchy to recover this datas.
I found this datasource 0MATL_GROUP_LKLS_HIER but when i made a test in RSA3 i can't select any hierachy.
Why ? Is there something special for this hierarchy that i need to manage ?
Thanks for Help

Initial load of material classification

Hi,
We want to start using GTS to maintain tariff codes and to assign materials to tariff codes. We will start off with loading tariff codes in GTS from a dataprovider. However, we do not want to start from scratch with assigning materials to tariff codes. This information is already available in our SAP system. Does GTS provide a way to import the existing SAP material master data and load it into the material classification in GTS? If not, what is the best way to start this effort?
Regards,
Ed

Hi,
There is standard transaction where you can do mass classifications in GTS but i think there is a limitation to 3000 products at a time and in my view, it is not very effective if you have hundreds of codes to be assigned to products and it is very time consuming..
Alternatively, you will have to build a customised program and get all classifications saved in text file and load them up which is what i have done.
In my view, after implementation of GTS, tariff and commodity codes ( Include Classifications ) are supposed to be maintained in GTS by ITC and transferred over to Feeder system ( Commodity code is the only master data to be transferred over from GTS to Feeder and there is a standard transaction for doing initial transfer ).
Bad point about this standard is you will need to ask your Basis to activite the change log file in system to keep track when the commodity code is transferred.
Thereafter, you must have batch jobs running regularly at GTS and Feeder to do the transfer.
Im new in GTS so what i have said might not be entirely correct. Im still learning..
Thank you.

To load material classification from SAP R/3 to BI 7.0

What is the impact - Activating Change Logs for Material Classification Dta

To activate Change Logs for Material Classification Data I must first set the flag for "Multiple Objs Allowed" for the Class Type 001 Material Class. I am curious of what the impact of setting this flag will be. Also, is there a way to measure the DASD impact of activating the Change logging for this data.
Thankyou
Kevin

In addition to the performance impact the process of turning on Change Logs for Classification data will convert the tables KSSK and AUSP to use an internal SAP number as a key instead of the Material number. This will cause problems for any custom programs that access those files directly and expect the material number to be the key. This file conversion occurs during the execution of program RCCLUKA2 which is used to Flag the change logs for existing records. This can be reversed by running report RMCLINOB. Because of the above impact we decided here to NOT implement this change in production.

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.

Urgent help with Material classification

Thsi is regarding data into BW for Material classification.
I am tryign to create the extractors as suggested in BW expert & in the forums posted by others.
I did create 1CL_0MAT001 .but i did nto understand where to add the charerceristics & further steps. I have aroudn 15 charecteristics.-also i did not completely understand the Process of creating via CTBW t.code.
It woudl be really great if someone could explain.
Can anyone pls help me with this.
This is realy urgent.

Hi Chris,
Choose the transaction SBIW (Customizing for the BW source system) and the menu path Business Information Warehouse  Customer-defined DataSources  Cross-application Components  Classification System  Maintain DataSources for Classification data.
To maintain a DataSource, proceed as follows:
Specify a Basis DataSource that has an InfoSource you want to enhance (for example, 0MATERIAL_ATTR). Choose a client, a class type, and an object table from which you want to transfer the classification data (for example, 100, 001, MARA).
Click on Save.
Then select the line in CTBW and select Characteristic.
Specify the characteristics that you want to assign to the DataSource. Click on the generate datasources. The DataSource is generated, and given a status (N = new, for a newly created DataSource, and R = ready, following successful generation) and a technical prefix 1¬CL_... is added to the name
A Metadata upload replicates the DataSource along with its relevant properties in BW, where it can be assigned to an InfoSource.
A Metadata upload on the InfoObject/source system level has to be carried out so that the DataSources created in the OLTP are also available in BW. You access this function by clicking the right mouse button on Source system for InfoObject  Replicate DataSources,
Hope that helps. If you need any other info kindly let us know.
Regards.

Error while working on 'Material Classification'

Hello Guys
I was working on creating a generic datasource using t-code CTBW (material classification technique). And i got the following error:
Object type is not a sheet type in the class type
Diagnosis
A class type with several object types can have several object
hierarchies. All characteristics for objects that are not end node
objects are usually multi-value.
System Response
Multi-value characteristics cannot be extracted.
How do i resolve this error?
Thanks.
Srini.

Any suggestions, guyz??
