Material Management/ Classification System

Hello
When I look materials by class and I display the materials but when I want to select two or more materials for copy, I get the following message:
Message no. CL479
This application can only copy one object from the search result.
Select one object to copy.
If you want to copy more than one object from the class in Variant Configuration, you must set the Multiple selection indicator in the additional data for the class.
So, I need to know how set the multiple selection indicator in the additional data for the class. I need help with that.

Hi Expwrts,
I have this exact problem in transaction SQ01. When i use the F4 button, choose "Materials for class" tab and when i try to select more then one material from the list i found i get the above message.
does any one knows how to make it possible to choose more then one material?
thanks in advance

Function to remove a material in classification system

Hi Folks!
I'm seeking a function that removes a material from a class belonging to a vendor from the classification system.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Folks!
Thanks for your replies, I really appreciate your help.
I was looking for the BAPI: BAPI_OBJCL_DELETE
However im having some trouble to make it work. I read the documentation, and I think this should work.
The problem I'm having is filling the BAPI:
I don't know if you have worked with this BAPI but I don't get what to pass to the parameters:
I'm doing as following, for the field:
OBJECTKEY: I'm passing the material number.
OBJECTTABLE: I'm passing 'LFA1'.
CLASNUM: I'm passing the name of the class, for example 'MATSERVPROVEEDOR'.
CLASSTYPE: I'm passing '010' that means vendor class.
What I don't understand neither is where to pass the vendor number so it only removes the material from the vendor. Another thing also is they KeyDate, don't really know what date I should pass?
After testing with no success on objectkey passing the material number I passed to the ObjectKey the vendor number, but the result was the deletion of the entire class and its values, and that wasn't what I expected, I only want to remove some values of the class, not the entire class.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks Again.
Regards,
Gilberto Li.

Material / contract classification system

Hi,
Does anybody know which table has the information that says if a contract or material has the classification system activated.
Thanx

Hi,
You can search an object in class using transaction CL30N and CL31, but you need to know at least the class name or the characteristics for the object.

Classification System for Storage location

Hello,
I would like to know if you can apply the classification system (as we know it well from the material master), to classify the storage location configuration. I need this for a client who wants to analyze his information system with the possibility to drilldown the characterics of his storage locations. But to do this, he first would have to apply the classification system to these storage locations, but I can not figure out if it is possible, and where to customize it.
Thank you in advance for your help,

yk,
perhaps it is even some kind of weird, but for 2 reasons I dared to make the question:
- Classification system is a cross-application component (Material Management, Project System, etc.), so why not for something like storage location.
- For Plants you DO HAVE this classification. Go to CL02 and have a look on matchcode of 'Class type' field. So, my idea was to check if there was something similar for storage location.
If you do have any other idea, or anyone else, I appreciate a lot your help.

Reference class In the classification system for a material.

Hi All,
I would like to know What is meant by reference class in classification system for a material? If we are using a variant configuration scenario expalin in context to the classification systme used in this.

Hi
I am not sure of anything called as Reference class but definately we have Reference charecteristics inthe SCE application. Below is the brief description of the Reference charecteristics- see the link below

Change documents of material master classification class type 001 and 300

Dear guru ,
I want to see the history of change documents of material master classification using MM02.
The system allow to see the history only for class type 023.
For class type 001 or 300 the change document isnu2019t available.
I must do some settings or the function for these class type arenu2019t available ?
Thanks.

Dear ,
changes in values for a characteristic can be monitored in CL20N but as for MM02/MM03 transaction only for class type 023.
For class type 001 or 300 the change document isnu2019t available.
Thanks.

Batch managment/ classification

pls
can u give total custmiztion part of above topics ,in detail
for material managment view.
thanks advane
g.ramakishna

Hi,
There are two parts in customization
1. Classification and material master creation
2. Config for batch management.
1. Classification and Material master creation
      a) Create Characteristics in CT04 -- as many characteritics
      b) Create Class in T.code : CL02   --Say XCLASSand assign all the characteritics what you have created
      c) Go to MM01 select the basic view and classification
      d) enter the basic data and in the classification select the class (eg) XCLASS and save
     e) Go to MM01 and create all the other views in Purchasing Tick Batch Management.. and save the Material Master
2. Go to SPRO-Logistics General--Batch Management and configure all the steps
3.create a P.O and do the GR

Multiple class types for material master classification display default.

Hello,
We are running on R/3 4.7. We use several different class types for our material masters (001 and Z01). The problem this creates is the end user having to constantly tell the system which class type to use when going to the classification screen for different materials with different class types. If a user views one material's classification page with a particular class type (001) then looks at another material with a different class type (Z01) the system tries to pull in information from the last materials class type (001). The system tells the user there are no assignments for the class (001) in the material their viewing but there is one for class type (Z01). The user then has to select the class type that applies to the material master their trying to view. Is there a way for the system to automatically see when a material has only one class type assigned to it for it to automatically default it in without the user having to specify the class type?
Thanks,
JRW

Hi,
Check the configuration, have you maintained default class type for material type.
Logistic General> Material Master> Basic Setting> Material Type> Define attributes of Material Types>Select the material type> Double click on material type--> Class type

WHATS THE FLOW OF MATERIAL MANAGMENT IF YOU MAKE A PURACHASE ORDER ?

WHATS THE FLOW OF MATERIAL MANAGMENT IF YOU MAKE A PURACHASE ORDER ? PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL.
BEST REGARDS,
RYAN

Hi Ryan,
The t procurement cycle for a material consists of the following stages:
1. Determination of Requirements
Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and control.
(This can cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The regular checking of stock levels of materials defined by master records,
use of the order-point method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are important aspects of the latter.)
You can enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically by the materials planning and control system.
2. Source Determination
The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and existing longer-term purchase agreements.
This speeds the process of creating requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
3. Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations
The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
4. Purchase Order Processing
The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions,
you can generate Pos yourself or have the system generate them automatically. Vendor scheduling agreements and contracts
(in the SAP System, types of longer-term purchase agreement) are also supported.
5. Purchase Order Follow-Up
The system checks the reminder periods you have specified and - if necessary - automatically prints reminders or expediters at the predefined intervals.
It also provides you with an up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
Hope this is useful for u..
Reward points if useful..
Cheers!!!

CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

Dear professionals,
Our client has this hierarchy for our materials:
Category (6 materials types)
-> Family (each material type has at least 2 families of materials)
-> Group (each family has at least 10 groups)
-> Subgroup (each subgroup has many subgroups)
We are doing the Classification System and each level is a Characteristic, this four characteristic are going to be assigned to a Class. So, we need to be able to search materials by any of those characteristics, but with the standar classification only allow to search by the category or subgroup, not for all of them.
So, we decided to do four characteristics:
1. Category
2. Category + Family
3. Category + Family + Group
4. Category + Family + Group + Subgroup.
With this system is possible to search materials by any characteristic. But the problem is : when I added in each category the families, some of the families has the same name and the system sent the message that is not possible to have valuos more than once. Message c1034.
I do not what to do, because this is the classification what our client needs.
Thank you.

Technically did you use standard & separate fields to store this date, Family, groups, subgroups?

Classification system dependencies

Hi,
I've a problem with the "classification system dependencies", and I've already read to SAP LIBRARY

Hi Arthur,
I couldn´t find the V_RCP_PP_CHCLREL. We´re on a 46C release! MAybe that reason why I could´nt found the view?
But, I think you didn´t understand me corrcectly. I´m not locking for a functionality which gives me all values of characteristic back. For this I could use CTMS_CHAR_VALUE_F4.
Instead I´m looking for a function module which filters all values of characterisitc with the object dependencies. For instance:
I´ve two characteristics with the following values:
CARTYPE ---> car | truck |
CARVENDOR ---> BMW | Mercedes Benz | Audi | Porsche | MAN | Scania |
Lets imagne these characterists are grouped together by a class named PRODUCT.
A material is classified with this class. If now the user selects as car type TRUCK he should only get the values MAN and SCANIA for the charac. CARVENDOR. This is already done in standard SAP classification at material master. My question is, how I can do that by myself in a own application.

Andy

Classification system in BW

Hello,
The classification system is implemented in R/3, for material, with around 16 class types, and 60 - 70 characteristics. The requirement for BW is to reproduce the classification system, but only for filtering purposes of material infoobject, when executing the reports.
One option is to have all the characteristics as display attributes, and filter them with the F4 help, in the matchode of the material of the variable entry screen. But they don't want to have a list of 70 display attributes, since it would be very complicated for the users to find the appropriate attribute.
The requirement is to be able to select a specific class type, and depending on the class type, get the list of display attributes assigned to that class type (that is, the characteristics assigned to the class type in R/3).
For example, class type AA has characteristics Colour and Size, and Class type BB has characteristics Measure, Function and Mechanism. The matchcode is opened, and then, it is possible to select the class type = AA, and then, only the attributes Colour and Size are available for filtering (but Measure, Function and Mechanism are not displayed). In summary, the same functionality as in R/3.
Does anyone know if it is possible to configure this in BW? Also, whatever solution or workaround is welcome.
Thanks in advance for your help
Patricia

Hello Gert,
I know that functionality is available, and it allows to translate the characteristics of the class types in R/3 into attributes in BW, where they can be used as navigational attributes in the reporting.
However, my business requirement is to reproduce exactly the R/3 functionality of the classification in BW, but only with filtering purposes (our classification system in R/3 has 16 class types and 70 characteristics). I mean: I have the material in the variable entry screen; the matchcode is opened; then, the class type can be selected, and, depending on this value, the attributes to be filtered are different (exactly in the same way when you open the matchcode in R/3).
Thanks in advance
Patricia

6. Goods Receiving and Inventory Management
Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and underdeliveries of ordered goods.
7. Invoice Verification
The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified of quantity and price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This speeds the process of auditing and clearing invoices for payment.

BW7.0 Classification System

Hi Everybody,
in NW2004s BI (BW7.0) there is an option
<i>Cross Application Components -> Classification System</i>
What does <b>Classification System</b> do? some interesting links..
Thanks
Regards
FedeX

Calssification system is a generic SAP concept. You can create classes which are a grouping of characteristics. For e.g. a class called computer might have characteristics like memory, processor, hard drive, etc. Hard drive can be multi select but processor might be single values only.
The class can then be assigned to objects like documents or master data.
In the BW world, they don't make sense. However, it comes as a part of teh BI system due to NetWeaver. The base system for all applications, ECC, BI, etc. is all the same from 2004s onwards and classification is one of those concepts like transports or suer management which is application independent.
