What is a class type?

what is a class type?what is its use?

Hi
The class type is a central concept in the classification system. The class type determines how classes are processed, and how objects can be classified and retrieved in these classes. In Customizing for Classification, you define the settings for a class type. You define class types for a specific object type, such as materials. You can then use classes of this class type to classify objects of this object type.
When you first create a class, you must enter a class type for the class. Each class type is a closed system. There is no link between the different class types.
The class type determines the following:
Which object types you can assign to a class
Which class maintenance functions you can process
Whether you can classify objects in more than one class
Which class statuses, organizational areas, and text types are supported in class maintenance functions
Whether you can use engineering change management for classification
Which filter functions you can use to restrict the search result

  • What is the field and Table for "Batch Class" and "Class Type" in QM.

    Hi All,
    What is the field and Table for "Batch Class" and "Class Type" in QM.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
      For batch class the class type value is '023' . This you can find from KLAH table and the fileld for class type is KLART..
    And also all the data related to batch class are found in tables INOB, KLAH,KKSK and for the characeteristics of batch materials you can refer AUSP table.
    In INOB table, for batch class, you need to give 023 in KLART field and  value MCH1 in OBTAB filed.
    Please check this and let me know if this you need any more details?

  • IN MATERIAL MASTER RECORD WHAT IS THE USE OF CLASS TYPE(CLASSIFICATION VIEW

    Hi Guys,
    Can you please explain what are the different critiria to use different class type and what exactly meaning of the each class type with respect to Material classification.
    Any material available on this to study. Please give link.
    Thanks,
    Dhanu

    Hi,
    Purpose
    The classification system allows you to use characteristics to describe all types of objects, and to group similar objects in classes u2013 to classify objects, in other words, so that you can find them more easily later.
    You then use the classes to help you to find objects more easily, using the characteristics defined in them as search criteria. This ensures that you can find objects with similar or identical characteristics as quickly as possible.
    Integration
    The classification system allows you to classify all types of object. First, you must define certain settings in Customizing for the classification system. For more information, see Customizing for the Classification System.
    SAP has predefined a number of object types (for example, materials, and equipment). The settings for these object types have already been defined in Customizing, so you can start to set up your classification system for these object types without defining further settings.
    Features
    Before you can use classification functions, you need to set up your classification system.
    The there are three steps to setting up a classification system:
    Defining the Properties of Objects
    You use characteristics to describe the properties of objects. You create characteristics centrally in the SAP R/3 System.
    See the SAP Library, Characteristics (CA-CL-CHR).
    Creating Classes
    You need classes to classify objects. These classes must be set up. During set up you must assign characteristics to the classes.
    Assigning Objects
    Once you have created the classes you require for classification, you can assign objects to these classes. You use the characteristics of the class to describe the objects you classify.
    This completes the data you require to use your classification system. You can then use your classification system to find objects that match the criteria you require.
    Once you have set up the classification system you can use it to find certain objects. To do this:
    Find a class in which objects are classified
    Find the object(s) you require in the class
    When you use classification to find objects, you use the characteristics as search criteria, and the system compares the values you enter with the values of the classified objects.

  • What are the main differences between  3 three important class types

    Which filter functions you can use to restrict the search result
    All materials can be classified with class type 001. Class type 300 is for variant configuration the variants under a class item are called as variants and can be picked during sales order creation. Class type 200 is for classes that are used as class items in bills of material. You can classify the same materials separately in these class types.
    This is basically used to differentiate the BOM class items.

    What is Class Speed Rating?
    The SD Association has created and defined 3 speed classes to help you identify speed and performance capabilities/minimum requirements of SD/SDHC, miniSD/miniSDHC, and microSD/microSDHC cards and the host products.
    The SD Speed Class Ratings specify a minimum sustained write speed for SDHC/miniSDHC/microSDHC cards (Class 2: 2 MB/s; Class 4: 4 MB/s; Class 6: 6 MB/s*).

    Sandisk SDHC cards will work with the 5610. It is unknown if cards larger than 4GB will work, as no one has mentioned it yet.
    Here are the specs for the sandisk card:

  • Creating a new class type in the classification system

    We are wanting to classify objects in a ZTABLE.  We have a home grown system for defining our customer requirements that is used as the way for the sales people to communicate to the engineering dept. what the customer wants.  A new need has come up that seems to be a good fit to be able to classify our customer requirements.  I have been trying to create a new class type that is linked to our ZTABLE.  However, even though it looks like we should be able to do this I have not been able to do it.  I ran across some documentation that seems to imply that adding a new class type used to be possible, but no longer is.
    Can anyone verify that creating a new class type is still possible to do?  We are on ECC 5.0.

    Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to create my own Class Type.  Is there some documentation as to how to dow this? Other than what is fould in SPRO I have tried and tried but no joy for me. 
    This is what I have done so far:
    in SPRO:
    1) Created an Object Key for my table ZLO_CUSTREQ.  This table has a primary key of CRQNR (custormer requirements number which is I created)  The documentation says that I need to add this key field to structure RMCLY (I did that).  BUT, it also says the RMCLY is embeded in structure RMCLX and it is not.  Do I need to modify RMCLX to add RMCLY as an append structure?
    2) Went to Maintain Object types and Class types and selected my table. Double clicked on Class Types in the Dialog Structure tree, which displayed an empty list of class types. 
    I then Clicked New Entries button and filled in the fields: Class type(Z10), Description(Customer Requirements), Table(ZLO_CUSTREQ).  in the Screens group I selected Keywords and Characteristics.  In the Functions group I selected: Standard class type and Multiple classifications. I then Clicked the back arrow.  This returned me to the Class Types list which now displayed my new class type. 
    When I click the save button it kicks me out the the SPRO menu screen and I get the warning message "Class type Z10 does not have the classification status incomplete system" . 
    Then, it won't let me re-enter the Maintain Object types and Class Types screen due to an error "View cluster is already open, go back with F3"
    When I hit F3 I am returned to the main SPRO screen.  After navigating back to the Maintain Object types and Class types I continue to get the View cluster already open error.  The only way I can get back to Maintain Object types and Class types  is to completely exit SPRO and start over.  When I do, class type Z10 is gone.
    I have repeated this procedure several times with always the same results.
    Can anyone please help me?

    Benje001,
    Right-click on the CWAI control on your form. Choose Properties. The first tab is the Channels tab. After you choose your device from the drop down box on the right, you can type in the Channels box which channel you want to use.
    If you want to see a CWAI control that is already configured, all of the shipping examples will have this already done.
    Also, if you have questions about any item on the CWAI (or any other NI ActiveX control) you can click the ? icon in the right corner of the properties page and then click on the item in the dialog that you need help with. This "What's this" help will describe that particular control on the dialog.

  • DMS BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 Class type Technical Document Category, object ty

    Hello Experts!
    The problem is that DMS import functionality stoped working after supp. pack implementation.
    The process is based on BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 functionality.
    The first problem was an error "The status set requires a previous status" which was causes dy note 1157678
    (http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Error-Thestatussetrequiresapreviousstatus)
    After setting break point/de-implementing that note additional error appeared:
    "Class type Technical Document Category, object ty"
    Does anyone have idea what caused the problem, or which sap note did that? before SP19 implementation that error was not displayed.
    Current highest support package is SAPKH60403.
    Thanks in advance for help,
    Rgds,
    LB

    Hi,
    That error refers to updating characteristics for classification (addnl data tab in DIR).
    Does anyone know what could cause the problem after support pack implementation?
    Is it possible that bapi_document_create2 > api_document_maintain2 disables an option to update classification?

  • Assigning Equipment Number to MIC (Use of class type 005)

    Hi,
    I want to assign equipment number to MIC. For this i have made a class with class type 005 and assigned a characteristic for equipment number(EQUI table field). I have assigned the class to MIC. Now i want to enter the equipment number, when MIC is attached to a inspection plan. Please tell me how to do so ? and am i doing it correctly?

    I am not sure whether classification can be used here or its coorect way as classification has very different use altogather.
    Now what my understanding here is you can use
    1.PRT filed in Inspectionn plan and assign the same to a mic @ char lavel.
    2.You can also use the "Inspection method" to specify method and equipment that you are going to use for inspection.As Method is free text you can vertually write anything here.Attach method to mic in QS22/QS23
    3.In "Inspection char desription /  search field " you can use name of equipment.
    This is my understnading.

  • What�re the different types of reference?

    Hello there:
    I was asked a question during the interview:
    What�re the different types of reference?
    They meant sth like weak reference... anyone can give a more detailed explaination?
    Also someone can talk a little bit about the memory leak in Java? IWhen will it happen? One senario on my mind is that: an array filled with the references of a class, when the program is done with the array, it doesn't apply removeall on the array. Will it cause memory leak?
    Thanks a lot,

  • 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]
