Vendor Classification Data

Hi All,
We have a requirement to load vendor classification data along with vendor master data. Anyone has worked with classifications?
Can we extend/modify the standard Bestpractices IDoc for Vendor master data load ? What is the best practice for this?
I came across this thread where it says,
"you have to create your vendors first. When that is complete, you have to create a file on the app server with the classification data. Then run RCCLBI03"
Posting Vendor Classification Data using XK02 transaction
Any suggestions on using Data Services for the same?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Jes,
I received this information from Eugene De Lattes in the Best Practices development team:
Vendor classification is called Vendor Evaluation. Hereu2019s some help for setting the evaluation up in an SAP system:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/8d/b97e4f414511d188fc0000e8322f96/frameset.htm
The good thing is weu2019ve already got two objects that could be used for vendor evaluation: the Class (IDoc type CLSMAS04) and the Classification (IDoc type CLFMAS02) in our list. The only thing that might be unclear is that weu2019re using CLFMAS02 as Material Classification. Itu2019s, actually, more generic, and is called Object Classification. The object, of course, can also be Vendors.
Some generic help for Classification:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/24/47633a416711d189ec0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm
And here you can see the IDoc types in MM:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/1a/0e35da539911d1898b0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
So, the answer could be that vendor classification is already covered by the IDoc types. However, we donu2019t have a specific mapping for that nor weu2019ve got a separate documentation.

Vendor Classification data table name?

Hi,
can any one tell me the table names for the vendor classification data stored?
I am trying to update the following Vendor classification values (before updating I want to know is there any data already exists for that vendor ).
MBE             Minority Business Enterprise
WBE             Woman Business Enterprise
MWBE             Minority/Woman Business Enterp
Expiration date.
I need the table name where this data is storing for Vendors. I need to find this data based on Vendor number, how do I can get this ?
Thanks for your time.
Kevin.

Hi Kevin,
You can use this BAPI to check and update classification.

Posting Vendor Classification Data using XK02 transaction

Hi All,
I am getting the vendor master legacy data by using an IDoc where in i am uploading the vendor information through transaction XK02. Now i have to enhance that to post the vendor classification information also. There is a function module IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR, which is modified to a ZIDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR and the changes are made as per the client requirements. Could you please let me know how can i post the vendor classification information along with the vendor information. Let me know under which segment i need to write the code for this. Please share your experiences in loading the vendor master data load along with vendor classification.
Let me know if you need any more information.
Thank You,
Suresh

Here are the fields you need to fill.
BIKSSK-MAFID = 'O'.
BIKSSK-KLART = 'Z10'.
BIKSSK-OBJEK = 'YOUR-VENDOR-NUMBER-IN-INTERNAL-FORMAT'.
You may also need other values concatenated to vendor number if the classification is at company code level or purchasing org level.
BIKSSK-CLASS = 'YOUR-CLASS'.
I am not giving BIAUSP because I think you can figure it out.

Hi Sanjay Sir,
Thanks for pateintly answering my queries.
last query:As you said on the first reply in MDG 7.0 SP2 it is possible. So I would like to know will this be part of standard content like how we have SAP Delivered model for suppliers? or we need to extend the data model like how we do it for extension of entity types or so?

Upload Vendor Classification Data in R3

Hello Everyone,
I was trying to get my hand on a Function Module for uploading Vendor Master Classification data in R3. I came across CLFM_OBJECT_CLASSIFICATION. I do not know if this is the right one and also how it works.
If someone could just help me as to whether I have the right end of the stick and can also provide me with some documentation on it to get going, I would highly appreciate that.
Thanks & Rgds
SDR

Rob,
I highly appreciate and thank you for your prompt response and the update on using the Standard program that you had provided to upload classification data. However I dont know whether it suits my requirement though.
The situation is that a BAPI gets called from webmethod in real time passing data to it. This Bapi is then supposed to create classification data for the vendor in R3. I suppose the former approach by using the standard program requires a formatted file for input to carry out the necessary. I dont think I can have that luxury though. Can you think or suggest of a way to get around.
Thanks & Rgds

Change or insert a vendor classification data.

Hi!
My english is not so good, let me try... I can change or insert a classification data for a vendor in the transaction XK01 and XK02, but I need do this by ABAP code. I tryed to find some functions... nothing! I tried to debugg the standard code of transaction XK02, but the functions what I found had not been useful.
Anyone knows any BAPI or function that can do this??
Tnx!

If you mean that you need to know what BAPI's a particular tranx uses, which I can only assume that's what you mean, then you should access the code behind the transaction and search for 'CALL'. That normally is the standard method that think that most people use.
Suppose you want to find the bapi for creating a sales order, you usually use transaction VA01 for this.
1. Find out the package of the transaction.
Start Va01 go to system --> status.
Double click on transaction
Package is VA
Open this package in SE80
Open business engineering-->Business object types
Find the BO which sounds the most appropriate
I would suggest BUS2032 Sales Order
Double click.
Open methods.
Find the released method with from data or something similar in the name
, Createfromdat2
Position the cursor in it and click the program button
Scroll down to find the bapi used in this method
With this way you can also find out programs and FM's
2. Start va01 go to system-->status
Double click transaction VA01
Double click on package
Read the application component. (this is SD-SLS Sales)
Then open the transaction BAPI
Sales and distribution>Sales>sales order
createfromdat2

First create class in CL01 or CL02. class type for vendors is 010.
Now goto CL24N, enter class and class type. Click on new assignments.
system will ask you object type. class or vendor. Choose vendor and press enter.
Enter vendor numbers and save.
Now goto display or change vendor master data.
In Menu, click on Environment> classification. automatically class is assigned to vendor

Classification data in vendor master

Hi,
My requirement is to create a new vendor by updating classification data(Environment-> classification) through XK01.
Do any one have some suggestions?
Thanks
Kumar

You have to use BDC since there is no proper Function module .
Just do the recording to XK01 Transaction ( Do it properly for each and every screen)
Other way ,please look at Below FM's :
BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE - Creation of vendor
BAPI_VENDOR_EDIT - Change Vendor master online
Thanks

Extractor for Vendor Classification as hierarchy

Hello,
The standard don't extract more than one value for the classifcation. Then, I want to extract this data as a hiearchy.
Example R/3:
Vendor Classification
V1 G1
V1 G2
V2 G3
V3 G1
V3 G3
Then, the datasource should create this hierarchy:
G1
...V1
...V3
G2
...V1
G3
...V2
...V3
...V1
¿Could you give me an ABAP code to do this and to create the DataSource? ¿More ideas?

Hello Syed,
Classification data for objects like material or vendor needs to pulled through classification data sources which needs to created specifically through transaction CTBW.
I am not sure whak kind of information you are looking for...but if it is the information about classification then it has to be created.
You can just make a search on classification data sources as there are numerous threads about it.
If its just classification characteristics like vendor type then you can look for master data sources for these objects.
Thanks

Syndicate Classification data

Hi Guru's
How do we syndicate Vendor master Classification data?CREMAS IDOC doesnot show me any segments for this ..So does this need to be customised ..
Any clues??
Regards
Vikrant M Kelkar

Hi Vikrant
How do we syndicate Vendor master Classification data?CREMAS IDOC doesnot show me any segments for this ..So does this need to be customised ..
For syndicating Classification data we need to use CLFMAS IDoc as it is not part of CREMAS.
Either we can use a custom xsd containing both structures CREMAS and CLFMAS or separate xsd for them.
If you use a single xsd combining both the schemas in PI we need to split the IDOcs and sequence them for posting in ECC. There should be some time delay between posting of CLFMAS and CREMAS.

Extract Vendor Classification characteristics to BW

Hello,
Iam tryingto load vendor Classification charateristics like "minority indicator" with multiple values.
Iam using CTBW to create a data source,it is giving an error "chararectistic has multiple values"
I did see some some other posts suggesting to change this error to warning etc.
Has any one created a DS using CTBW before.
Pls suggest
Thanks

MM Process flow:
Process Flow
The typical procurement cycle for a service or material consists of the following phases:
1. Determination of Requirements
Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and control. (This can cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The regular checking of stock levels of materials defined by master records, use of the order-point method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are important aspects of the latter.) You can enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically by the materials planning and control system.
2. Source Determination
The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and existing longer-term purchase agreements. This speeds the process of creating requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
3. Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations
The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
4. Purchase Order Processing
The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions, you can generate Pos yourself or have the system generate them automatically. Vendor scheduling agreements and contracts (in the SAP System, types of longer-term purchase agreement) are also supported.
5. Purchase Order Follow-Up
The system checks the reminder periods you have specified and - if necessary - automatically prints reminders or expediters at the predefined intervals. It also provides you with an up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
6. Goods Receiving and Inventory Management
Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and underdeliveries of ordered goods.
7. Invoice Verification
The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified of quantity and price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This speeds the process of auditing and clearing invoices for payment.
Pur info record is nothing but a master data like thing which will be maintained for different materials to determine the prices etc.It Specifies the number that uniquely identifies a record.
For Example: an info record is based on Plant Vendor and Material
Based on these three the Material Prices will be calculated
for different combinations different values are taken into consideration.
During pricing it brings these values automatically based on this info record.
Use ME11 Tcode to create this record.

Standard Business Contents with CLASSIFICATION data

Dear All
Does standard Business contents Material, Vendor and Customer carry CLASSIFICATION DATA.
Looking at the Field Mapping for Material and Vendor I dont see any CLASSIFICATION related fields.
What would be the best option..
Regards
Vickey

Hi Vickey,
Minaz is right. Customer and Vendor do not contain classification info. The current Material contains the eClass and UNSPC classification. The next release for the material will cover the common ERP classification (CLFMAS), too. This is currently in development, planned release is May 2009.
Best regards
Michael
