Taxonomy Attributes - Can they accept free Text

HI Friends,
Our MDM Version: MDM 5.5, SP06, Patch 04.
We currently have Taxonomy Attributes sent from MDM to ECC Classification & Material Characteristics  using CLFMAS02. Until now these characteristics had fixed values and this was fine as both MDM and ECC were accepting only fixed values.
Now the business wants to make the Classification Characteristics in ECC as free Text(No Drop Down). And this is do able in ECC. But MDM cannot allow Taxonomy Attrbutes to be Free Text . It has to have fixed set of values in MDM.
Please help me with input in the following areas:
1. Can we make the Taxonomy Attributes in MDM as FREE Texts.
2. If we cannnot make them as FREE Texts , what is the reason for it to have been designed so.
3. What should be the alternative approach i could use to have this scenario implemented in MDM.
Your inputs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sh

Hi Alexander,
I have an excel interface used for Mass Creation of Materials. This will in addition have fields for the Taxonomy Characteristics which would accept free text and get mapped to the characteritics.
Unless the characteristic is a free text it will not work.
As I mentioned on the ECC side the free text for characteristics can be enabled. the challenge is MDM does not allow it so i dont think i can use the CLFMAS as is.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sh

    how can i download free text tones on my iphone 5s

    He told you Google for an answer. You will end up having to use iTunes to sync them to the phone anyway. There are a number of websites out there that offer free ringtones, or you can upload a short piece of music to their site and they will convert for you. As mentioned, Google free iPhone ringtones, you will be inundated with sites.

  • If i synced my iphone to my neighbors mac computer can they read my text/imessages?

    If I synced my iphone to my neighbors mac computer can they read my text/imessages that are being sent and received with my iphone?

    For them to read/get your iMessages, they would have to activate iMessage, using your Apple ID/password, on their computer...requires a Mac running Mountain Lion. Highly unlikely. If they did try to do such, you'd get an email, from Apple, telling you such had been done. You can prevent this by simply changing your password.
    As to whatever is in your backup, now on their computer, there's nothing you can do about that. But, doubtful they'd go through the trouble of trying to extract anything from that backup...again, requires third-party software, as it is not directly accessible.

  • If someone gives you an iphone and thier apple ID is still registered under I message can they see your texts?

    If one recieves an iphone and the Imessage accout is still linked to the previous owner, who has an iphone of thier own as well as ipad, will text messages be visible to the previous owner?

    Yes.
    But if it's your iPhone, and you are old enough to support it, you can go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
    This will clear the iPhone completely, and you can then set it up as your own device with your own ID, etc.

  • Are free-text attributes not possible?  Why?

    I'm pretty new to MDM, just learning really.  I've done some complicated imports, in cluding hierarchies and taxonomies.
    At my company we have product records that contain product specs.  There are about 200 different specs that different products CAN have, but any particular product only may need about 20, depending on it's product type.  A perfect situation for a taxonomy with attributes, right?
    It would be, but although many specs have particular pre-defined choices (like attribute choices) , many are free-text fields where the user enters information that can't be boiled into pre-set choices.
    After playing with it in MDM for a while, it becomes clear that you can't have taxonomy attributes in MDM that are free text.  That seems kind of silly to me... am I missing something?  Is there a way to do this?  If not, why not?  It seems like a useful feature.  I can't be the first person to think of this..... 
    Any help, explanations, or ideas for alternate methods would be very greatly appreciated...
    Steve

    You aren't missing anything. Attributes can only be numeric (or couple numeric) or text. The text attributes are only available as lookups and cannot be set up as free-form text entries. Fields can be set up as free-form text, but have to be applied at a global level to everything.
    The only reason I can think as to why it has been developed this way is because of the search capabilities built into MDM. It would probably be difficult to have the parametric searching with free-text attributes, much easier when all the data is in a lookup. Another reason is just to help maintain standards within your repository. You could enter a message with SAP to find out all the reasons why it is this way and possibly enter an enhancement request for future versions.
    Basically the only way around this currently is to use the text attribute available. You could allow the users to right click on the attribute in Record Mode and select Modify to add entries to the attribute as needed.
    This obviously doesn't solve your problem, but hopefully helps clear it up a bit.

  • Enabling free text in SRM 6.0

    Hi,
    We are using SRM 6.0, I have a requirement to enable the FREE TEXT  link which is normally available in

    When I look at this screen i cannot find the  Free text (link and text label).With more field technical help i got the Web component name i.e /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_SC_GAF_C  . When i check the attributes properties of this free text  (link and text label) it has visibility .
    The above component does not contains any component configuration where visibility can be changed and also cannot create a component configuration as it is standard one. is it possible in enhancement??

  • RESULTS RECORDING WITH FREE TEXT IN QUALITY MANAGEMENT

    Hi,
    How can I give free text of 300 chars In results recording? For a process order with batch number & recipe, (in which master inspection characteristics are mentioned which are linked to general characteristics.)
    I created characteristics (type CHAR)(which can be used as free text in results recording ) I have created class, assigned chars to class & finally to material. Also assigned MIC to this class chars.
    When I do results recording I need to have these characteristics to be display as free text of 30character width. But since I have to give selected set for this general chars.(which is the system requirement) I have given  selected set while creation of characteristics.
    Due to this I can only select the codes from the selected set. Is there any process in which I can write free text up to 30 cars during results recording in quality module? & those characteristics I want to assign to MIC so that when process order is executed the first operation of quality can be done for RR.
    With Regards,
    Kareena

    Hi Kareena,
    All of first let me make it clear, if you will assign a Class Characteristic to the MIC, then it will become either Qualitative or QNT.
    Now toeards your questions solution.
    Option:-1
    As suggested by Venkatr, make the control indicator "Docu. Req" in the MIC control indicator set, page:-2. for the line item of MIC in the insepction plan.
    So, the system will prompt you a message to insert a text as described by Venkat, where you can enter the Long text also (Check the button available in the lower part of that small window)
    Option:-2
    Create a document type for this purpose, and assign a file, having 300 char. to the MIC, with the help of the "Object Link" function of SAP, avaialble with RR screen also.

  • IPhone in lost mode, if a person guesses the 4 digit passcode can they see/send messages and contacts etc?

    I have lost my iPhone. Someone has found it. I got an email message when they turned it on and called it immediately. Unfortunately they turned it off, after the first call and now it goes straight to answerphone. It has been in lost mode for three days. My question is simple, if the person guesses the four digit passcode, can they send/see text messages and emails, can they see contacts etc. Do they need my apple id and password to access and use the phone or simply the four digit code?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards.

    Yes, i appreciate that. I do hope they don't, however the passcode is VERY simple... If they guess or if it was actually taken by someone that knows me or saw me enter the code, then can they use the phone normally once it's entered, will i get an email or will the phone come out of lostmode on the app? Sorry for the repeated question. I will shortly hit the 'this solved my question' button
    Thanks again

  • Free text capital procurement

    Hi,
    We are using SRM 7 ECS.  We are procuring material for direct procurement also from SRM. The way to do this is to enter a material in SC and tick mark the u201Corder as direct materialu201D, so that it becomes as direct procurement.
    1st Question is that can we procure free text for direct procurement, i.e we want the user to procure free text and order as direct material. Is this possible?
    We have also made a custom tick-mark field in the SC screen header. If user checks this header field, then the u201Corder as direct materialu201D check-mark field in all the line items gets ticked. In other words this header field merely ticks mark the u201Corder as direct materialu201D field in SC line item.
    Now if user  procures free text , and ticks this custom field at header , u201Corder as direct materialu201D field gets ticked mark at line item level. When this goes to completion buyer, the free text field is greyed out, and the buyer is unable to replace the free text with material. Are we doing something wrong here? If everything is correct in the above process, can we make the free text field editable by the completion buyer?

    Hi Sumendra,
    Just enabling the check box for 'Order as a direct material' wont suffice.
    If you think logically, free text items are usually non stock items (procured against cost centers for example). Whereas direct materials are procured for stock consumption.
    Hence you can use 'Order as a direct material' for only those materials which you have replicated into SRM from ECC.

  • Free Text Qualification

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a requirement that a manager can insert a new qualification for its subordinate, but he don't have to add it to the qualification catalog. I know that this is not recommended but we actually need it. So is there anyway that a manager can insert a free text qualification with its value without having to update it in qualification catalog? Thanks in advance

    Hi Hendri,
    Without ABAP development, it is not possible.
    By ABAP development, you can proceed as follows:
    Go to SPRO - Personnel Management - Personnel Development - Functions - Define Profile View - Subprofiles.
    There, for Qualification there must be a program name in format SAPLXXXX (probably SAPLRHPP).
    Then you can goto SE80 and copy RHPP function module.
    There in the respective screen, you can remove qualification field but insert a free text field instead.
    Then in the Profile view customizing step, you need to map this newly added program and screen.

  • Having issue searching free text Chinese

    Hello,
    I have a Coldfusion application using an Oracle backend. I have two development environments, one on a standalone Windows XP
    laptop, and another is a Solaris box. I have the same Oracle database on both. However, with my Coldfusion application I can
    search in free text Chinese on the Solaris box (Coldfusion is actually running on a Windows server) and find what I am looking for,
    but on the standalone Windows XP box I am not finding the data. Search either comes up with something that is not what
    I want or empty.
    I have language packs installed, etc. I know I support UTF because I am able to display the characters in my browser.
    So, what I am asking is what else to look for? Thanks for your help.

    Just for sanity, what is the database and national character set of each of your databases?
    What is the NLS_LANG set to on the ColdFusion servers?

  • Maintain Free Texts as Attribute Text Values

    Hi Friends,
    Is there a way to maintain random text values in an MDM Taxonomy Attribute. I understand that Attributes are designed to handle pre-defined values, but do we have a work-around to maintain free texts as Attribute Text Values.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Anil Madhavan

    Hi Anil
    To add- we can also define new values from Data manager in record mode. Suppose we have attribute Nationality with text values maintained as Indian and German. While editing/creating a record in Data manager we need to enter a new value as Chinese this can be done by right clicking on attribute value cell and select Modify text attribute value list.
    This way we can add new values on ad hoc basis.
    hope this helps-

  • Marketing Attributes for Maintaining Free Text

    Hi Gurus,
    I need to maintain a marketing Attribute under which, user can maintain free text, is any one been through with this kind of requirement.
    Kindly keep me posted your comments and/ or suggestion to achieve the above said objective.
    Cheers!!!
    Ajay

    Hi Menaka,
    Your reply is helpful to some extent as atleast 1 attribute value needs to be filled up before the attribute set can be assigned to a BP and the user need to double click the Attribute to fill in the values in the pop up box in GUI . In this scenario we cant make this attribute set as "Assign by Default". I think a development is certainly needed to achieve exactly what the business requirement is.
    But certainly your reply is a good workaround to adapt for a short period of time.
    @ Anup: Kindly guide me with steps to configure in SAP system.
    Cheers!!!

  • I have an iPhone 4S and my friend has two ipods with two Apple ID's.  Why can't he receive messages on "Message" on one and he uses a free text app on the other which receives messages from my phone just fine.

    My friend has two ipods.  Two Apple ID's and on one ipod he has a free text app on it and only Message on the other.  He cannot receive a message from my iphone 4S on the one with Message, but receives it fine on the one with the free text app.
    He can also receive a message from my iPad on the one with Message.
    My question is how can he recieve a text from my iPhone to the ipod which has a different Apple ID than the other but does not have a free text app?
    Also on the ipod he has the free text app he has not upgraded to ios7 and won't.

    Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
    Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
    If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.
