Search Material by Multiple Characteristics Values

Hi gurus,
I need your help in a subject.
I've a material which is assigned to two classes ZMATERIAL and ZMATERIAL2.
ZMATERIAL has some characteristics about the material and ZMATERIAL2 has also different characteristics.
I want to search for material by giving values for multiple characteristics which are assigned to different classes.
For example;
ZMATERIAL has Plant and Material Group as characteristic
ZMATERIAL2 has Responsible Person as characteristic
I want to search by giving plant and responsible person. Can I do this in SAP? It allows me to search only by one class as I see.
Thanks in advance...

Sefa Kocali,
Seems it can be done if you can use class hierarchy.
Create a new class ZMAT without any characteristic , then assign your existing classes to this class using transaction CL22N. once its done, you can use CL30N to search objects in new class ZMAT , also you will have optyion to use subordinate class for this searches.
Check below link for more details
Inherited Characteristics - Classification (CA-CL) - SAP Library
Check and come back with your findings.
Hope it will help you.
Thanks

  • Batch Characteristics value in report

    I want to develop a custom report where material master batch characteristics value should be displayed.
    The report will display based on Process order No. In Process order AFPO table I am bringing MATNR, CHARG, WERKS information.
    Now, the MATNR is maintained with a batch classification of class type 001 (material class) one characteristic "Z_NUMERIC" and value is maintained as "22345".
    Now, in custom report I have to bring the 22345 no. In which Table I can get the information for material for 001 class type characteristics value?
    Please repond.

    You can find it in table ausp

  • How to show the Characteristics Values of Batch appear upon Search?

    Dear all
    We are implementing SAP for Wood Industry.
    Facts:
    1. There are 3 batches created for the raw material.
    2. Each batch has the characteristics of Thickness, Width, Length with characteristics value  24mm, 140mm, 1530mm
    3. 1 Production Order has been create to produce raw material (RM) to semifinised goods (SM).
    Quetions:
    During GI to Produciton Order using MVT 261, when we try to select batches from the Item Detail level, the pop up search windows only show us the existing 3 Batch Numbers available for the RM, it does not show the characteristics value "thickness, Width, length" that describe each batch.
    And this has caused serious problem to use during their selection of batch as batch number will only make more sense to them if it is shown together with the characteristics value.
    Apart of opening additional screen to show the batch information of each batch, is there any config I need to do to solve this situation?
    Mark will be given handsomely.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    it is possible to use another search help (Tab Strip: Search for batches via classes, when you press F4 in the batch field).
    Here you have to enter the class number first.
    Then you get a list of all characteristics in this class, and you can narrow your selection, by setting values for specific characteristics.
    After that, press F8 (Find in initial class)
    You will get a list of batches, assigned to the selected class, and fullfilling your selection criteria.
    Now you can display either the characteristics of a single batch, or you can define a layout for the ALV-Table control, with all characteristics, which you want to see in the overview.
    Another possibility is, to open up the 'batch information cockpit' (transaction BMBC) in a separate mode. Here you can see the characteristics ( if you define a selection class on tab strip 'Characteristics' ), e.g. in combination with stock information, which might be relevant as well.
    Here you can download some screenshots (link wiil be valid for 80 days)

  • Enhancing standard (single select)search help for Multiple value selection

    Hi,
    Standard search help for Business Partner (in cProjects) allows only single value selection for input fields. I want to make this multiple selection.
    Is there a way to do it.
    I used an OVS and built a similar search but its difficult to get the standard options like saving to personal value list etc in it.
    It would be good if there is a way to modify the standard search help to allow multiple selection. Any ideas??
    Appreciate your help,
    Thanks,

    As far as I know you can't make a standard ABAP dictionary search help return multiple entries - where you get this sort of functionality the searches don't use the standard Elementary search help framework (e.g. organisational structure searches)
    Given that the WDA search help relies on these dictionary based searches, I'd think very much that you couldn't enhance it to return multiple. how you could even return multiple entries into a single UI element input field is also confusing to me.
    I'd suggest creating a freely programmed value help, it would certainly take quite some effort to recreate those personal value lists etc, but it could be done - I don't like OVS, but that just me.

  • How to find the list of material variant based on the characteristics value

    Hi
    We are creating materials variants for FERT Material Type in material master in MRP-3 view .There we configure the variant by attaching characteristics value 
    Now we want to have a report , which can give the list of material variants , if char value is given in selection
    Can somebody guide me if there is standard report for this OR what is the linkage in Table , so that we can develop a report

    I couldn't find a standard report to get the material variants based on characteristic values (the nearest I could find was CT12) but I wrote a report some time back here's the table join logic for the main select statement.

    I included bare minimum fields to suite your requirement needs you can add whatever other field you want . Though I tested the table join, I suggest you to test it again before writing your own ABAP program using SE16N.

  • Transfer of characteristics values from material variant to its subordinate

    Gurus
    Need your Expert opinion on Variant configuration
    We are using Multi level Material Variants and our bussiness process demands for configuration of These Material variants in Transaction MD81 and during creation of Sales order .These configuration will not affetc the BOM explosion but will only be passed to the The lower level components (Which are again theMulti level Configuriable  Material variants ) as manufacturing instructions .To Enable these Flow of Characterisitcs we have Applied a Note which allows the Multi level Configuration of Material Variants and Pass this Values to lower Level and the characteristics value flow is visible as well for lower level from CU50 ,but when i create the requirement through  CIR or sales order and Configure the Material Variants  and Generate the Procurement Proposals to fullfill these requirements (MD02) in the form of Planned order  we are unable to pass one the Characterisitcs values to planned orders of  lower level Components of Material Variants .These characterisitc values are Used as Manufacturing Instructions and should be passed on to the Lower level of Material Variants through the use of dependencies in Configuration profile .but the problem is it works in CU50 and does not flow in planned orders , does any body have a solution for this ?
    Thanks In Advance
    awaiting reply
    Milind

    Hi Milind,
    I check that you implement a Note which allows the Multi level Configuration of Material Variants? is it sap note? mind to share the number.
    I ever faced this problems to before but fortunately the case in simpler so i just create another variant and maintain the component for the variant. For example : characteristic color. I create variant with color red black etc. For variant red, maintain component red. For variant black maintain component black, so on. Is it possible for your case?

  • Derivation of Material classification Characteristics values in COPA

    Hi,
    Although  similar type of questions are there in Forum, But I did not find the correct solution, hence I am putting this thread.
    My question is , in classification view of material master we have Class type - 23 (Batch).
    We are maintaining many chracteristics and their values in the material master.
    Now my requirement is whenever the billing is done for any sales order having this material, all the characteristics and its value should flow to COPA.
    Although the details are there in table AUSP. But I am not finding any way out to derive these characteristics and its value or get these information in COPA.
    Please help.
    Regards
    Kami

    Hi Ajay,
    The attribute tab is not available in MOVE. Is there any other place where I can find this attribute tab.
    While doing the Analysis of derivation, it showing the message :
    *"Derivation was not carried out. Reason: Not available"*
    Both Source field and Target filed is showing blank. I am not able to figure out the reason.
    Is there any relation with Class Type. We are using here Class Type - 23 (Batch).
    And in KEDR , in MOVE as you suggested I am using Source Vield VCONF.
    I hope these are OK.
    I am using the User defined characteristics WW09 , with own value maintenence. Is this OK?
    What could be the possible reasons for not populating the data.
    regards

  • Copy of Batch characteristics value from material master to Batch

    Hi Gurus,
    I have maintained some values in the characteristics under batch classification in material master and want to copy the values in batch characteristics during batch creation at process order release.
    Can any one help me to achieve this in standard way?
    Thanks
    Sandip

    Hi,
    Try to understand the batch classification functionality...In batch classification characteristic values changes from batch to batch...Values should not be maintained in the material master...it does not have any meaning...in the material master we need to assign only the batch class with class type 023 in classification view ...no need to assign the values there....Batch classification means characteristics values differs from batch to batch...
    Thanks

  • Picking or copying Characteristics  Value from material master

    Dear Experts,
      Please i create   five Characteristics  which i assign to a Class ( of type 022 ). The Class is then assigned to  materials in the classification View of the Material Master.
    I want  one of the five Characteristics to copy its values from specific parameter value  maintaned in the  Material Master.
    Please assist on how to accomplish this?
    I did the following but did not get the desired results;  While creating this  Characteristic, in the Values Tab, I filled  ''MARC'' in the Tablename field   & in the Fieldname field, i enter the technical fieldname of the particular field from table MARC which i want.
    I want this particular value to be automatically copied into the Characteristics Value field in the Foreground  for eacb batch anytime Goods Receipt is done.
    after doing this, anytime Goods Receipt is done & a batch number generated, it takes me to the Classification screen, but this particular field which i desire  to be auto updated remains blank. 
    Please assist ?

    Hi,
    1. This will not automatically updated just as we wil fill the addtional date table and field.
    2. you need to write the object dependency to get it updated when you call somewhere
    3. Generally in the batch level you will be able to do this .( even you can use function / object dependency )

  • Table relation for material and characteristics value

    Hi,
    I am looking for the tables which contain the material and characteristics values. e.g. For a particular material what are the characteristics available and what are their uniq values. It will be great if you could provide me the tables name along with the link key (foreign key) between the material no and it's characteristics. Even though I have tried ausp & other tables but I could not find the uniq for a particular material. All answers are appreciable.
    Thanks in advance..

  • Search Help and Multiple Value Selection?

    Hello
    Is it possible to select more than one entry in a search help popup? If so, what do I have to do in the context attribute to be able to handle multiple return values from the search help popup?
    Regards,
      Mathias

    hi matthias.....
           you cannot select multiple lines in a search help. because... you are going to return to only one field... else what you can do is. have a small button which acts as a search help and pop up a window which has  a table in it. so you can select multiple values.
