Dear,
Find the changes done to the characterisctics( values in the class type).  So 023 and 005 are the calss type.
Each class must be assigned to exactly one class type. There is no connection between the individual class types.
The class type is used to define a number of parameters, such as:
1)The objects that can be classified in a class
2)Whether objects of different object types can be classified in the same class
3)Whether an object can be classified in more than one class of the same class type
4)The class maintenance screens that can be processed
The system compares the classification of two objects only if values were assigned for all characteristics of the class. based on the calss the system will check the values as per the class for the batch or MIC. So SAP has by default define 023 for batch managment and 005 for MICN and 300 for configuracle material which use in variant configuration..etc.
When you create classification data, the system asks you to choose a class type in a dialog box. If necessary, you can change the class type on the  screen, where you assign the material to one or more classes. Entries are made in the Description, Status, and Icon fields automatically on the basis of the classes you have chosen. If you have assigned the material to more than one class, you can flag one of the classes as the standard class. You can then assign values to the characteristics. For example, if the characteristic is color, you can assign it the value blue .
You need to assign the Characteristic to a Batch class
And This batch class must be assigned to the material master in Classification view, Class type 023.
So first perform the Assignment of Characteristic to Batch Class and Assigne this batch class to Material.
You can check the result for the Characteristic in,
MSC2/3N
MSC5N
BMBC
Hope clear to you.
