Values for Characteristics in COPA

Hello Gurus,
If we have maintained the possible values for a characteristic in COPA, is it possible to have other values.  For example, in our scenario, Brand is a characteristic and we are deriving it from the classification view in Material Master. In that case, is it necessary to maintain Values for this Characteristic in COPA. Is there any necessity to maintain the possible values in separate Table.
Please Advise.
Thanks
PM

Hi Praveen
when you create a WW char in COPA, you have 2 options (2 radio buttons) i.e. With own value Maintenance and w/o Own value Maintenance....
If you choose with own value maintenance, then you need to maintain permitted char values (brand values) in KES1... If you choose "w/o own...", then you need not

  • Values for Characteristics entered on Orders with Configurable Products

    Hello all,
    I have a system that has Configurable Products to be used in Sales Orders.  I have a requirement to provide the values stored against some characteriestics for an online report.  Can anyone point me in the direction of tables that hold the values entered for characteristics at the order level?
    Many thanks,

    Hello,
    thanks for your answer.
    But I cannot restrict the values for each characteristic, I need to restrict it per material for each characteristic? So where can I do that?

    describe your problem.
    It does not really matter if you use standard batch input or IDOC, both will lead to the same result.
    However, object 0150 and CLFMAS are 2 different things.
    0150 is characteristics while CLFMAS is classification
    if you want classify with standard batch input then you should use 0130 instead of 0150.

  • ECCS- CX0AA- Default Values for Characteristics

    Hello All,
    I have an issue in my project concerned with ECCS.
    We have maintained default values in CX0AA say we have maintained CCA (Sub Item Category) with a particular default value, now this default value has to be removed and even the Sub item Category CCA has to be removed from CX0AA. I tried it by the transaction code CX0A1, but I am unable to do it.
    Can any one please let me know how to remove this default value maintainance in complete from CX0AA.
    Thanks for the help in advance.
    Best Regards,

    or in my box: CX01->Master Data->(Characteristic) Default Values
    looks like an extension to add additional fields for consolidation below the standard SAP delivered ones for master data like items and subitems. it may well be dead end for development as EC-CS is being superseded by SEM-BCS and possibly some reincarnation of Business Objects.

  • Special Authorization Values for characteristics

    I had a question about the authorization value '*' (asterisk)
    SAP defines how this can be used as follows:
    (asterisk)
    .. Denotes a set of arbitrary characters
    .. Used alone to grant access to all values
    .. Used at the end of a value to specify a simple pattern (example: SAP*)
    Here is my situation:
    InfoObject A: Values can be: A,B, C, A1, B1, C1, C2, A1G, B1D, C1A, C2A etc.
    If a user has authorization of C, it automatically means he is authorized to view values C1, C2, C1A and C2A. In this case can I assign values
    C, C and C** (I am doubtful abt using *(double asterisk))
    Please clarify.
    Thanks

    Asterisk denotes a set of arbitary characters
    Used alone to grant access to all values
    used at the end of a value to specify a simple pattern(example SAP *)
    +(Plus)
    Denotes exactly one character
    Used at the end of a value to specify a simple pattern (example - RED+)
    Used to specify date patterns(only for validity (OTCAVALID))
    Hope it Helps

  • Display multiple values for a characteristic for Equipment.

    Hi is there any way to display multiple values for characteristics of an equipment. Ex. An equipment (Presss) produces multiple ROH Parts. The class VN_TOOl with charactersistic "Part Produced" . When I run IH08 and execute the query, >Show , hide classification I can only get just one part instead of multiple parts. How do I get multiple values for the characteristic

    Yes Chandra,
    You are not getting it in IH08, but you are getting it in IE07. See this.
    IH08
    IE07
    If you want the report in the ALV layout, then you need to go for a development using FMs in Classification areas such as:
    'BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES'     'ALM_ME_CLASS_CHAR_GETDETAIL'

    Base on the above characteristic fields how can i consider the infoobjects from BW to laod masterdata.
    Do i need to consider the base tables for characteristics and for value fileds apart from CE1XXX,CE2XX,CE3XXX,CE4XXX tables.
    Please give me your ideas on this.

    Hi Durgesh,
    Thanks for your response,
    Data is coming perfectly in RSA3 for COPA datasource.
    There is a confusion while reconciling the data with ECC system.(transaction KE24).
    Functional consultant has reconcile one transaction with a reference document number and with  certain currency type(Company code currency/Operating concern currency).
    But still i confuse with the Masterdata Loading.
    Because masterdata attribute fileds are taking directly from the operating concern in COPA which is normally won't happen with the other scenario.
    (Say for CUSTOMER attribute are CUSTOMER GROUP and COUNTRY, In COPA scenario these are directly available in operating concern which will be available for datasource.But for other scenarios for CUSTOMER GROUP and COUNTRY fill with the CUSTOMER attributes hence my idea is whether we need to load masterdata in BI or not.)
    Please give your valuable o/p.
    Thanks,

  • Actual Values for the Cost Components in COPA - TC - KE4R

    Hi,
    In TC: KE4R, we are maintaining the value field for each Cost Components from the Cost Components Structure.
    And the Point of Valuation is 01.
    My understanding is that, when we use this value fields in the COPA report, it will show the value of the standard cost estimate from the cost component structure and not the actual cost that has incurred during the transaction.
    Am I correct? If not please correct me.
    If yes, then How can I get the actual cost for these cost component structure in the value fields.
    Please help.
    Thanks and regards

    Hi Ajay,
    we have a requirement that we need details about what makes cost of sales numbers in COPA.

    can you please tell me detailed configuration steps to make this happen so that we can create a new COPA ke30 report which gives us the breakdown of the COGS numbers.
    one more requirement is that for purchase parts our client is maintaing price PB00 condition and some other conditions like brokerage, freight etc in the info record for those materials and they want that all these conditions value should add up to show the COGS value for these purchase parts in the COPA report.. how do we do that?

  • Multi value selection for characteristics under class type 200

    Hello Experts,
    Please suggest
    I am trying to assign a class type 200 to the material master of a component say ABC.
    While selecting the values for chars under classification I need to select more than one value for a characteristics say XYZ(single value).
    Because when the K item will be replaced by L item from my class BOM, I want ABC to be in the BOM expolsion for  ANY of the multiple values I select under classification of ABC.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

    Santosh Kumar,
    Thanks for providing example, here the problem is , during replacement of class with material number system looks for exact match.
    In classification view you cant put or condition, what ever value we assigned there is consider as AND replationship.
    you can create 3 similar material , and assign them this combination , like for XYZ1 , model is A1, XYZ2 , Model =A2 etc
    or
    For such requirement , the better option is instead of class put material number directly in BOM with item catagory L and assign selection condition with logic select this component if MODEL =  A2 or A3 or B1 and DOR=CW & MOC=CI
    It will work , with class node it will not work.
    Please also check document created by me on class node in below link.
    Classes as place holders [Components in Super BOM]

  • Multiple values for Time Characteristics (Ex: 0CALMONTH) in planning layout

    Hello,
    We are on BW - BPS 3.5v
    We have a realtime infocube with only time characteristic 0CALMONTH.
    There is a requirement that in my Planning layout I have to display the Keyfigures for:
    (CURRENT MONTH)    (CUMULATIVE 4 MONTHS FROM CURRENT MONTH) (CUMULATIVE 7 MONTHS FROM CUR MONTH)
    I defined 3 exit variables on 0CALMONTH , one for Current Month, one for All 4 months from Current Month and another for All 7 months from Current Month.
    In my planning layout when I use these variables for 0CALMONTH, I don't get the values for 4 months & 7 months.
    I checked the variables are being populated with correct values. But when they get passed to the layout it doesn't read the Cube. 
    I got the basic doubt if we can give multiple values for the time characteristics in planning layout..??
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Vish

    Hi.
    Did you created 3 restricted KF: one with KF amount and variable current month, second with amount and variable 4 monthes, third with amount and variable 7 monthes ?
    Did you have match records in you cube ?

  • Couldn't assign target field for characteristics in PI sheet config

    Dear All,
          I'm trying to configure PI sheet, i have created Process message categories as well as characteristics. Everything is working fine except the inputted value (for example weight, density) in PI sheet not getting transferred into process order. When i try to assign the destination message to the message characteristics, i couldn't find any value for the message categories which i created. System shows the below  error:
    No entries found that match selection criteria
    Message no. SV004
    Even if i try to assign manually,system shows with error
    Corresponding entry in "Destinations/Message categories" missing
    Message no. SV534
    Steps i did :
    1. Created new Control Recipe destination(ZCR) ( by copying sap provided CRD "05")
    2. Created new characteristics group(ZMCG) for process message ( by copying sap provided group "PPPI_01") and released
    3. Created Characteristics (ex. weight, density) with chars. group as ZMCG
    4. Didn't create any new message destination (Trying to use defaut "PI01")
    5. Create New Process Message Category(ZTEST) and assign the characteristics (weight, density along with PPPI_PROCESS_ORDER)
    The problem is i couldn't assign target field as "process order" to update the inputted values for the characteristics (weight, density) in O13C
    I gone through all the node in "Process Management" but unfortunately i don't know where we have to assign this destination. I hope if i assign the destination message as "PI01"  with characteristics "PPPI_PROCESS_ORDER" along with target field as "PROCESS_ORDER" for the characteristics it may update into process order. How to assign the destination message for the message category?
    Thanks

    Hi Kumar,
        Thanks. When i try to assign the destination message for the characteristics through O13C, i got the error message that "No entries found that match selection criteria". It means there is no characteristics with the combination of Process message category "ZTEST" with Destination as "PI01". If i trying to assign manually through "New entries" option, systems shows with the error "Corresponding entry in "Destinations/Message categories" missing.
    Thanks
