Updating a characteristic value (CT04)

I have created a new class with corresponding characteristic. My characteristic has a single value, "01" representing document version number. I the MM, i add this new class to the Classification view for the appropriate material number. However, i have noticed that when we go to update the value in the characteristic, from lets say "01" to "02", we first get an error saying the value cannot be deleted (but the system lets us do this anyway) but more importantly when we do change the value, our hope was that the value in the MM class would automatically be updated as well. That doesnt seem to be the case as I have to physically go into the MM record and delete the class, then re-add it with the new updated value for the update to appear in the MM record as well as AUSP. This is my first time dealing with classifications/classes. Can someone give me guidance on how to achieve something more easily maintained?

In the CLMM transaction, select "Set and Change Values".
In the next screen, enter in 001 for material class in the class type field. Then add the characteristics you wish to change on the tab labelled "Chars". You can just add a new value to change all instances or you can specify an old value to change and only those with matching values will be changed.
Now click on the "Target Objs" tab. Enter in the material numbers you want to change. Click on the indicator "Overwrite Existing Values" to replace values, leave it blank if you are adding new values for a characteristic that allows multiple values.
On the menu bar is a button labelled "Test". Click on this to do a test run and see the log that is generated. When you have all the right selections, and the log looks correct, click on the button to the left of the Test button to execute the changes.
You can also use this to mass change assignments in certain classes. On the first screen, the first choice "Copy Values assigned to object" allow you copy the values from one object to another.. say for instance all the material class values from material A to Material A, B and C.
The third choice is "Assign value in matrix". This is very cool as it gives you a spread sheet form with the all the objects, (materials), listed vertically, and all the characteristics listed across. You can see the current values, and manually change any of the ones you want to.
This can be a very powerful transaction. It should be limited to only a handful of people

Condition type value updation using characteristic value in sales order

Hi Experts,
We are implementing SAP for one of our Spain client. In that one of the Legal requirements is, whenever they are selling the finished products to domestic customers who contain OIL as one of the component then, some additional cost needs to be calculated and collected from customer and which needs to be paid back to Spain Government every month on Region basis.
If OIL is not a component to produce the finished product then, not required to charge the customer additionally.
The OIL content used to produce every finished product will vary based on product characteristic value. Meaning, for some finished product the OIL used will be 2.2 KG and for some products it will be 3.5, 4.3 KG and etc.
Since various combinations of products are available for the client, during sales order creation we are planning to update some special characteristic which the data flow from u201CVariant Tableu201D. In the variant table we are going to maintain the OIL Quantity required making finished product.
But we are not sure how to activate a new condition type with the value fetched in the special characteristic. This new condition type needs to be activated based on this characteristic value and multiplied with total order quantity and price to charge from customer.
Example, the special characteristic fetched the value of 2.2 KG based on variant table. Total Order quantity is 10 PC and charge is 0.06 EURO per KG. in this case, (2.2 x 10 ) x 0.06 EURO = 1.32 EURO
I need the expert opinion how to activate the new condition type based on characteristic value and achieve the above requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
VEL

Hello,
I have replicated the whole requirememt in IDES and getting the price calculation as needed but the only issue with the Conversion factor for the condition type. Either you need to maintian the conv factor in material master or need to enter manually for the condition type in SO. Some how you have to maintain the conversion factor to calculate the price for the condition type in different unit.
For easy of understanding Lets make the whole requirement in 2 parts
Part - 1
Oil qty calculation. For convenience sake I have taken oil qty also in TO
1) Created a num char OIL_QTY1 with length 9 and decimal places 5 and UOM as TO
2) Created Variant table to infer the OIL qty in TO per piece of finished prod ( This oil qty data may be depends on various factors). For certain Finished products the oil qty may be 0 or blank
3) Created a REF char SO_QTY to pull the SO qty to configuration and add this char in class 300(Table:VBAP,Field :KWMENG)
4) Created another char SO_OIL_QTY (Num with length 9 and decimal places 5 and UOM as TO)
5) Created a PROCEDURE say PROC_SO_OIL_QTY with code
*$self.SO_OIL_QTY = $self.OIL_QTY1 * $self.SO_QTY*
6) Create another PROCEDURE as mentioned earlier with modified code
$SELF.A_VARCOND = 'TEST_001' if OIL_QTY1 specified,
$SET_PRICING_FACTOR ($SELF,A_VARCOND,'TEST_001', SO_OIL_QTY)
Note: Maintain proper seq of the procedures in profile. The Qty cal proc should be before the price related procedures.
PART-2
1) For the condition type maintained 60 EUR per TO (0.06 EUR per KG)
Now if you create SO for the Finished product of 10 PC
the Char values will be
OIL_QTY1 = 0.00022 TO (inferred from Variant table th proc)
SO_QTY = 10
SO_OIL_QTY = 0.0022 TO
Get into conditions tab
Here Condition type ZSIG will be displayed as error with Amount 60 EUR per TO and condition value will be blank. Just enter value 1 in the col NumC and CCon fields.
Now the Condition value will appear as 1.32 EUR.
Hope this gives some more clarity

Best practice for updating ATWRT (Characteristic Value) in AUSP

I've notice that when we change the Characteristic Value of a Classification, that it does not update in the MM record. We have to go into MM02 for each material number that references Char Value and manually change it for row in AUSP to get updated.
Should i just create a report to Loop through and update table AUSP directly? Or is there a better way to do this via a function or BAPI etc? Wanting to know what best practice is recommended.

Hi Scott
You can use a BAPI to do that.

Update COPA characteristic values during order settlement - KO88

Hi,
We need to update some COPA characteristic values during order settlement using T-code KO88.
Looked for options in KEDR transaction, did not find any exits.
Could some one help us to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Vikram

Hello and thanks for your response.
We have actually created the new characteristic (WWCRE) and we are populating it in the user exit. I think the issue is that the characteristic may be 05012010 at the time of the sales order, but it is 04012010 at the time of billing.
Unfortunately, the PAOBJNR in the billing doc is the same as the order and the user exit doesn't seem to accept the changed value or create a new entry in the CE tables.
For example, if I change the sales order to cause a new WWCRE value, the system automatically generates a new PAOBJNR but at the time of billing, regardless of changes to the values, it simply keeps the old PAOBJNR from the sales order and doesn't reflect the changes.
I hope that makes some sense. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Mandatory entry in the Characteristic value - CT04

Hello Folks,
I created a new characteristic (classification view) for the material master, and I am trying to put the characteristic value as mandatory entry . Is it possible ?
Any answer will be very helpfull,
Regards,
Flavio Marcilio

Dear Flavio Marcilio,
In IMG under Logistics General -> Material Master -> Field Selection
or
You can maintain a transaction variant where in you can specify whether the fields are optional, display only, required entry, suppressed.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas620/helpdata/en/eb/5fab41d79b11d296190000e82de14a/content.htm
In the SAP Reference IMG, you can create transaction variants. Choose Basis Components -> Application Personalization -> Tailoring of Application Transactions -> Configure Transaction-Related Display Values for Fields (Transaction SHD0). Transaction variants allow you to preset values for fields in a transaction, set field attributes, or hide entire screens.
To execute a transaction variant, you define a variant transaction using the Transaction Maintenance transaction (SE93).
Once you have entered a transaction code and short description, choose transaction type Transaction with variant (Variant transaction).
To define a variant, enter the name of the transaction and the name of the variant. You can then use the new transaction code to start the special variant of the transaction.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Naveen.

Function Module to update Characteristic Value (AUSP table entry)

Looking for a function module/BAPI to update a characteristic value (AUSP table entry).
This is for a material master Material classification value, not a Variant Config value that I need to update.
Anybody have one? I have one that will find the value, but not change it.
Thanks.

That wasn't it, but it gave me the one piece I was missing.
Answer is:
Function Module "CLAE_CLASSIFY_OBJECT"
In CHANGE_KSSK
M = 0
KLA = (Class Type)
OBJEK = (Material Number for the Material Characteristic being changed)
OBTAB = MARA
CLASS = (Class Name with Characteristic to be changed)
S = 1
S = (blank)
AENNR = (EC Change Number or Blank)
DATUV = (Today's Date or date for change)
C = "X"
In CHANGE_AUSP
OBJEK = (Material Number for the Material Characteristic being changed)
ATINN = (Chararacteristic to be changed)
M = 0
KLA = (Class Type)
ATWRT = (New Value for Characteristic)
C = X

Change characteristic values in SO via BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGEBOS

Hi Experts,
Now, I would like to update the characteristic values of configuration in sales order via BAPI : BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGEBOS. But, I can't find right way to execute this BAPI. I tried so many times and no data changed. I wonder that i didn't specify the correct import parameters.
Is anyone can help me? Thanks for your kindly support in advance.
Best Regards,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
I had a similar kind of requirment, to change the characteristic values in a sales contract, where I used, BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST to get the details of the agreement line iteam and after sorting the necessary vales then used BAPI: BAPI_CUSTOMERCONTRACT_CHANGE to change the customer agreement line item.
In your case as well you can use the BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST to get the details, based on this you write logic to hold the necessary change value and finally, use BAPI: BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE to updated the changes in the sales order.
Hope this helps.

Changing DATE as a Characteristic value of batch with BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE

Hello,
Could you give advice for using BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE?
I decided to use BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE to update Batch characteristic value.
I could update CHAR field but could not DATE.
I set like below :
- Characteristic name (e.g. Z10001) to CHARACT of ALLOCVALUESNUMNEW(Tables)
- DATE(e.g. 20081211) to VALUE_FROM of ALLOCVALUESNUMNEW(Tables).
But it does not work.
Of course, I executed BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after the FM done.
I found the value of VALUE_FROM is missing when debugging.
Thanks in advance.
Takeru Miyagawa

Hello,
you said :
- DATE(e.g. 20081211) to VALUE_FROM of ALLOCVALUESNUMNEW(Tables).
Data type of field VALUE_FROM is FLTP. How do you fill this field ? by MOVE ?
You should not use MOVE, you should use :
DATA:
wlv_date              TYPE d,
wls_ALLOCVALUESNUMNEW TYPE BAPI1003_ALLOC_VALUES_NUM.
           CALL FUNCTION 'CTCV_CONVERT_DATE_TO_FLOAT'
                         EXPORTING date          = wlv_date
                         IMPORTING   float       = wls_ALLOCVALUESNUMNEW-VALUE_FROM.
- I found the value of VALUE_FROM is missing when debugging.
Can you show us your code ?

Query on classification material characteristic values update/insert

Hi,
I have a requirement to change classification characteristic values of a material via Txn MM02.
The function modules tried are as follows which did not serve the purpose:
1.UPDATE_MATERIAL_CLASSIFICATION
2.CLVF_VB_INSERT_CLASSIFICATION
3.CLVF_INSERT_AUSP
4.CLVF_UPDATE_AUSP
The characteristic values are not getting updated in the table AUSP(Where the values must have been updated) . So the updating of material classification characteristic values via txn MM02 is failing.
Please can anybody help on any function modules or alternate solutions that will help to update the classification char. values of the materials.
Also,for info please let know of the tables that maybe related for this updation other than AUSP.
Any input at the earliest would be of great help.
Thanks in advance.

Leeza,
There are quite a few standard BAPI function modules that can be used exactly for this. Look into the BAPI transaction under the CROSS APPLICATION SYSTEM --> CLASSIFICATION .
BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE
BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE
BAPI_OBJCL_DELETE
BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES
BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL
These can be used to modify / create any classification data for the materials.

Characteristic values and CT04

Hi all,
I have a user that wants to store default values for certain fields in the characteristics of a class. For instance, I create a material...if the characteristic GR_PR_TIME is 5...then assign 5 to the GR PR Time field for the material. Problem is when the user goes to CT04 to change the characteristic value. As soon as the user deletes the old value they are prompted that the value is already associated with a material and as such should not be deleted. How do I work around that? I suggested multiple allowed characteristic values with one marked as default but my user doesn't like that suggestion. What am I missing here? Should this not be a class based solution?
Thanks,
Mat

Check if you can use material and material groups or product and product Info objects in BW. If they suit, just assign the data source that you cerated in R/3 to these info sources and that is it.

Updating the characterstic values in the classification view

Hi,
We are trying to update the characterstic values in the material master through AUSP table (BDC program). We want to replace the old values with the new values. But the program is appending the new characterstic values to the old values. This is happening inspite of the configuration setting in the characterstic transaction (CT04) such that it allows only a single value. Please suggest us in this regard.
Thanks
Ramakanth

use the following
Set and Change Values
Use
You can use this function as an easy way to change, delete, or create large quantities of assigned characteristic values. Target objects can be classified, or existing assignments can be deleted.
Prerequisites
The selected target objects must have the same class type and object type as the template object.
The characteristics must be the same for the target objects and template object.
No interval values are processed. No reference characteristics are processed.
Procedure
Enter a class type. If the class type is for multiple object types, you see a list of the object types that you can select. Select an object type.
Enter the characteristics whose values you want to change or set. To find characteristics, display the possible entries. To display all the characteristics of a class, choose Chars of class and enter the class.
Characteristics: Old and New Values
You can replace old values with new values. You can set completely new values if no value was assigned before, or delete old values.
Use the possible entries to select values.
You can only select one value for each line. If you want to process several values, you must select the same characteristic several times.
Changing Values with an Operator
If a characteristic has numeric format, you can use an operator to recalculate values. You can add, subtract, multiply, and divide figures. For character format, the operator fields are grayed out.
On the Target objs tab, enter the objects to which you want to copy the new values.
For more details on this procedure, a description of further functions, and information on the log, see the third and fourth steps in Copy Values Assigned to Object.
On the Assignments tab, you can classify the target objects or delete existing assignments. Enter the class or select one using the possible entries. You can go to class management by choosing Display class.
Choose Carry out a mass change.

BI-IP: Change of characteristic value in ABAP EXIT planning function

Hi
I have created a planning function of the type EXIT with reference data without blocks. In method IF_RSPLFA_SRVTYPE_IMP_EXEC_REF~EXECUTE I am going to implement my code.
Now, one of the purposes is to update the VALIDTO of an existing record. Is it possible to modify the characteristic values directly in C_TH_DATA (thus allowing me to just update the date directly on the record) or can I only append records?
Cheers!
/Karsten

Hi Larse,
Yes you can change directly your value in a record withou appending a new one,but still it will create 2 records in the delta buffer ready to be save to the cube.

Eitan.
