Second thought about extracting classification characteristics values

Hello expert:
     I have a question about uploading material classification data into BW, I know I can extract this classification data by new datasource set up by transaction CTBW. this is the normal way to extract classification data . I just want to do it in another way technically. My question is : can I enhance some BC datasources such as : 0EC_PCA_3, in this way, I will do this enhancement as follows:
   (1) enhance transaction DS by classification characteristics , such as 0EC_PCA_3.
   (2) customize master DSes for classification characteristics.
   (3) create infoobject in BW corresponding to classification characteristics
   (4) put those infoobjects into the same dimension as material in the infocube which is the datatarget for 0EC_PCA_3
   (5) load master data for those infoobjects for classification characteristics
   (6) load transaction data for enhanced transaction DS 0EC_PCA_3
by the procedure, I also can get the information for those classification characteristics, please correct me .
Many Thanks.

Hi,
You can use CMOD to enhance 0MATERIAL_ATTR as an alternative to CTBW transaction but keep in mind that Material classification has to do with master data.
That is the main reason why enhancing transactional data datasources with master data attributes should be avoided if possible. Even if you need to report on historical truth, you can accomplish it by using Read master data feature on transformations (for example, when you load your InfoCube, you can read material classification master data from 0MATERIAL instead of 0EC_PCA_3).

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
Kami

Second thoughts about my pro "13

I need to make up my mind by tomorrow!! ....Should I keep my "13 pro late 2011 or trade for an 13' air ?? Has people on here had a lot of trouble with their DVD drive. Will the DVD drive last a few years??... Other words do I have to worry about keeping the laptop sitting straight up on a table or desk in order to keep the DVD drive from going bad.. The reason why I ask this is because someone told me that they messed up their DVD drive by letting it hang off their lap while working on it while in bed. Also Someone told me that the first of the pro's in this years line meaning the 13 inch doesn't have a good processor like the higher up pro's do ?   Also I seem to hear the fan running just about all the time on my pro ....even when I'm just doing something very light such as reading a article online.....Is this normal??    yep, I'm starting to worry at the last minute if I made a good choice or should I have chose the air mac.... since I was going after something portable anyway. I like the Pro ....just wondering if it is going to hold up as easy as the mac air??   The store saleman told me that if I have the pro in the car .... and I happen to drive on a rocky road that it might be bad for it !!! :-/   Maybe he was just trying to sale me the Air!! ... but I do hear more people bragging about the Air these days!!

I have had my 13" Early 2011 MBP since May and have had no problems with the optical drive. All notebooks are meant to be used on a flat, cool surface to optimize airflow for cooling purposes. No one can predict how long any part in a mac will last, failure is always possible.

The i5 is fine for me. Of course, the i7 in the more expensive models is better. I dont hear the fan all that often, I usually hear them fans when they exceed 3,500 rpm's.

COPA Extraction-Characteristics value not appearing in RSA3

Hi All,
We have developed Costing based COPA DataSource in KEB0 based on our operating concern. Included all standard fields(Characteristics from the segment level, Characteristics from the segment table, Characteristics from the line items, Value fields) in data source.
When we do extract data in RSA3, All the key figure value fields are appearing correctly but I cannot see any Characteristics values. all the characteristic value appearing blank value.
I have checked everything is active and all (CE1 **** ,CE2 and CE4) tables have data with characteristics and value fields .
My questions are:
1)why COPA characteristics value are not coming in RSA3?
2)what do I need to get this work?
I hope it helps. let me know if you need more further details
Thanks,
L.Prathap

Hi,
Worked on CO-PA but never got such an issue..........
Do you have any of the chars selected from the line items section other than rec_waers?
Also check if you have any summarization levels...transaction KEDV. If no other char from the line items are selected, data could be read from the summarization levels.
There would be 2 tables for a summarization level...key table and the totals table. Check what chars are selected in the key table.

Extracting classification data in BW

Hi experts,
We are extracting data from R/3 classification system into BW for 0MATERIAL.
We have followed the steps in R/3 for generate DataSources through the transaction SBIW. Then in BW, we have replicated the DataSources, created de InfoObjects for the new attributes and assign these InfoObjects to 0MATERIAL, but we do not which are the following steps to extract the data.
Could anybody tell us the next steps for extracting classification data??
We will be very grateful.
Thanks.

For your 1CL_***** datasource the basic datasource should be 0MATERIAL_ATTR. If so when you replicate the DS to BW and do CTBW_META the datasource will be assigned automatically to 0MATERIAL.
Go to the 0MATERIAL Datasource and in the dropdown it will be 0MATERIAL_ATTR and then 0MATERIAL_TXT and the third one will be the 1CL_****.
Choose that and then propose the transfer rule. This DS will provide value for the classification characteristics for the attribute you defined.
if it helpful reward points are appreciated

From which table characteristics value is been picked in Batch(023 class)

Hi gurus,
Could anyone helpme out of this problem
While creating migo ,batch no gets automatically assigned for the material when I click on the check button and then clicking the classification screen , characteristics value have to be given manually for the material that is to be receipt in migo.
Now My problem is I am creating a report where the material no along with the batch no and the characteristics value of the batch is required , but I cannot get the table name
I have tried with mcha,mch2,mch1 but here no characteristics value could be derived ,Table Cawn,cabn is there but how to link with other tables like mseg or MKPF.
In table AUSP characteristics value is picking but same problem how to link it with mseg or mkpf etc.
Guys please help me out of this.
Thanks N regrds,

Hi,
Using AUSP table pick the object No. and link it with MCH1 to find the Batch No.
using the batch No. link to MSEG-CHARG

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

Missing characteristics value in table AUSP

Hi all,
In the classification of equipment master, the characteristics value of a new class could be shown but the value cannot be found in the table AUSP.
(it's been ensured that the object no. input is correct)
Where is the value stored? or is there something wrong?
Many Thanks!

hi,
check CABN table.

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 )

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

Same Batch Number with different characteristics value

Dear Gurus,
I have the following scenerio:
The finished goods should be maintain in batch with external number and at the time of confirming the finished goods in co11n the client want to capture the finished goods value like length, width and diameter.
So we propose the batch characteristics with class type of 022 for finished good and we maintain the character as length, width and diameter under the batch class 022 and assign the batch class in finished good classification view.
Now the requirement is we want to capture the batch characteristics value length width and diameter with same batch number for multiple confirmation.
Example:
Confirmation      Batch number               batch Class               Length     width     Diameter
1                        1000                              022                              100        50             20
2                        1000                              022                              120        25             10
3                        1000                              022                              150        70             30
Now at present we are trying to capture the batch characteristics with same batch number but our standard system will not allow to maintain the different batch characteristics value under same batch number. If we overrite the batch characteristics in msc2n transaction the last value maintained be copied to all batch number. but we want same batch number with different batch characteristics value.
Please share your idea and try to solve..
Regards,
Vimal

Dear Vimal,
It is not possible to maintain multiple batch characteristics in one batch.
Work around is to create original batches and assign to your production order. During CO11N, generate one batch per confirmation. There is a report in batch information cockpit to link between original batch and batch per confirmation.

Hi,
You can extract it via below method also.
Go to any of the Material related transection.Then in Material field press F4.
Then serch via classification.Slect class type and class.
Then press find button.
