Why Class characteristics req in QM

Hi QM Gurus,
I have inspection plan with MIC it is working very well.
But some of them told you can use class characteristics with MIC.
My question is.
1. What is the use of class characteristics?
2. why it is assign to MIC.
Please clarify....
Regards,
Babu.S

Dear Singh,
>1. What is the use of class characteristics?
It migrates the results recorded to the Batch Class.
>2. why it is assign to MIC.
Class Characteristic is assign to...
- 1. Batch Class, and this batch class is assigned to Material
- 2. With reference to this Class Characteristic, an MIC is created, and this MIC is getting assigned to the Inspection Plan/ Material Specification of the Material.
- Now when the RR is done for these MIC, in the inspection lot for the Material, the Values of Result, Migrates to the Batch, in the Batch Class.
To test the scenario
- Create a Characteristic (CT04)
- Create a Batch Class (CL02)
- Assign the Characteristic to the Batch Class.
- Assign the Batch Class to Material.
- Create an MIC, using the Characteristic (QS21)
- Assign the MIC to the Inspection Plan (QP01)/ Material Specification (QS61), of the Material.
- Create an Inspection Lot for the Material, have new Batch.
- Perform RR and UD.
- Now go to MMBE,MM02,BMBC,MSC3N, and check the value of the Result is Migrated here in the Batch, under Batch Class.
NOTE:-. It will not work if the material is not Batch Managed.
Let me know the progress.
Have Happy Week End!!!!!!!!

Class characteristics req in QM

Hi
1. Why Class characteristics req in QM ?
2. I don't have any materials in batch managed, so in this case , is it really required?
3. If yes, in which all scenarios calss characteristics can be used?
Please explain.
Thanks,

Yes
3. If yes, in which all scenarios calss characteristics can be used?
a) If you want pass the characteristics spec for variant configuration.
Pass the spec @ sales order level,
Pass the spec @ purchase order level.
For that above reason class characteristics req. in QM

Why class defination and class implementaion separated in abap?

hai experts,
i hav doubt why class defination and class implementaion separated in abap. In know in C++ its possible
but in JAVA its not possible . what is the main reson behind this concept in ABAP.
thanks in adv.

Hi Sree,
As far as I feel, it's been done with a view of readability. As you know that ABAP is very well modularized and organized programing language. When you define a local ABAP Class, you define two seperate sections of it. You define the Class Definition and then you define the Implementations. This way you can really have a look at all the class definitions which are organized in the same section. Then you can have a look at the selected implementation.
But if this hasn't been the scenario, then as developer looking at the complex classes would have made life hell for you. You can very well figure it out how good to keep things organized for later class maintainance and readability.
Hope this would shed some light on your question.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Transfer of Material Class characteristics into Batch

Hello,
Is there a way to transfer the material specific class characteristics ( maintained in material class 001) into Batch, while creating a new batch?
For e.g. for Material A, i have Material Class Characteristic = COLOR, with a value RED.
So if i create a new Batch for Material A, the COLOR characteristic in Batch should get defaulted to RED, instead of manually entering.
Pl let us know, if this is possible.
Regards,
Mangesh
P.S: I know there is Default check at the characteristic value level, but that doesn't help, as each material will have different value.

Dear,
You can use function module exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_014 SAP enhancement SAPLV1ZN when assigning characteristic values to batches with EXTENDED_CLASSIFYING parameter. You use this to classify user-defined characteristics in the background when creating a new batch using the central function module VB_CREATE_BATCH during activated batch classification.
Refer IMG>Batch Mngmt>Characteristics Value Assignment>...using function module
Please try and come back.

BAPI to upload customer class characteristics(XD02)

Hi,
My requirement is to upload Class Characteristics and its values for a customer in XD02.
XD02- > Extras -> Classification
I have founded a few bapi's but its not working. I tried the below options.
BAPI_CLASS_CREATE
BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE
If someone who worked on similar requirement ... Pls reply.
Thanks
Hari

BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE must work fou you
look at:
[BAPI BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE|BAPI BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE]
[Characteristics value not assigned by BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE;
don't forget BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after this FM

Why Class.forName is used to load the driver ?

Hi all,
Why Class.forName() is used to load the driver ?. Can I use any other method to load the driver safely ?.
rgds
Antony Paul

That's still redundant. Sure, it works. Here are some equivalent forms:
    new MySqlDriver();
    DriverManager.registerDriver(new MySqlDriver());
    New LinkedList().add(new MySqlDriver());
    if (new MySqlDriver() == new MySqlDriver())
        System.out.println("department of redundancy department");
    Driver unusedVariable[] = new Driver[] { new MySqlDriver() };
    Class anotherUnusedVariable = MySqlDriver.class; // I'm not 100% sure this works
    new File(new MySqlDriver().toString());
    while (new MySqlDriver() == null)
    new Double(Math.sqrt(new MySqlDriver().toString().length()) / 42);

Class , Characteristics and Reference

Hi,
can someone please explain me the concept of Class , Characteristics & Reference usage in PM module?
Also related T-codes.
Regards,
Ram

Hello Ram,
Please go through this eBook for theoretical aspects CACLCHR
Also go through all links here in SAP Help
Take Tcodes from this page Tcodes (Tcodes starting with 'C' are more relevant for PM).
Now, few lines about concept in SAP-PM usage:
A class identifies a group of Equipments having identical specification parameters (ex. AC Squirrel Cage Induction Motor). So Equipments of all such motors are assigned this class. (Class is created with CL02). The parameters I mentioned (Current, RPM, KW etc, etc) are called Characteristics in SAP. (These are created with CT04). The characteristics created so, are then assigned to the class (CL02). The Equipments assigned such class will show these characteristics (in the Classification push button in IE02/IE03) and you will enter the characteristic values there. For ex.few equipments will have 11 KW, 18A, 1440RPM and some 7.5KW, 12A, 950 RPM and so on. After having this master data exercise, you can search the equipments by the Characteristic values through Tcode IE05. Also, go through the Tcodes given above.
Classes are used across modules, so it has Types. (002 is for PM, 001 is for Materials and so on)

Use OBJCLASS object of Emigall for Class & characteristics creation in FL

Hi Fritz,
Good day,
I want to use OBJCLASS object of Emigall for
Class and characteristics cration of Functional Location, The object is
desiged for Equipment only,
I read the document of this object which says
that it can be modify to use for functional location as well by changing
some rule, I tried by changing the field "Name of database table for
object" from the standard which is made for DEVICE/EQUIPMENT
I need your help to modify the rule to use this object for class and
characterstic creation for Functional Location, the migration object field is set to Device
which I want to change to FUNCLOC but that field is not modifiable.
Can you help me Fritz
Regards,
Robert

Robert,
Yes you are right. The following changes have to be made:
HEADER-OBJECT_TYPE need to be set to IFLOT (Fixed Value or Transfer field rule)
DATA-FIELD need to be set to TPLNR (Fixed Value or Transfer field rule)
DATA-VALUE need to be set to either CONNOBJ or DEVLOC (Via KSM field rule)
Kind regards,
Fritz

Why class.forName to load driver

hi all,
as most of the times the loading of jdbc driver is carried out
by using the function class.forName, Why so ?
as i tryied with creating the object of the driver class like
Object driver = new <JDBC DRIVER>;and the code worked fine
so is there any difference in the two methods of loading the
drivers ?
if not wot is the use of method class.forname ?
thanx

That 's fine, but what if you change database back end in near future.
I will define a property and used class.forName ("read property").
In your case, you have to change the code about loading the JDBC driver as well.
Using std. JDBC API functionality and loading driver dynamically, leaves some of the part of the code that are not a candidate for a change in case back-end DB is changed.

Traceability with batch class characteristics in batch where used list.

Hi,
I have a process order which issues 5 pallets or material and produces 5 pallets of another material. Each pallet is a seperate batch in my scenario.
All materials are assigned to a batch class and i will be using a class characteristic to enter the issued pallet number (includes material number and batch number) to the produced pallet batch. This way i want to create a traceability system.
the problem is i need a way to create a hierarchical view or integrate this scenario to batch where used list.
there is a badi for where used list to read external data. but i guess that is for something called "external batches"
can you please guide me for the best practice of doing this?
Thanks,
Alper,

Hi!,
I think you have to use the mix of two functionalities:
1. Original batch function
2. Batch derivation
This way you can pull the characteristics of the source material batch in to raw material as well as finish material batches.
In this you have to create a nonvaluated material which is used as original batch mateial. You have to assign this material in material master of the RM and FG alongwith other required entries. Also you have to use batch derivation function to pull the charactristics of this original material batch in to the RM and FG.
Please go through the SAP help regarding Original batch and Batch derivation function to have more clarity.
Please revert back in case of any further issue.

Uday

How to see class/characteristics of measuring points in list editing screen

Dear Sirs,
I have created meauring points for several functional locations.These measuring points have been assigned classes and characteristics.
How can I see these charactristics against measuring points in list edition screen(ALV Grid).
Thanks and Regards,

Hi R N Sabat,
As per my knowledge , no std SAP transaction will show you asked details, You need to go for development of this report.
Please check with your technical team to get this in to ALV report.

Equipment - Class Characteristics restriction

Hello,
I would like to get some insight and the way of proceeding further for the below requirement. We have two characteristics defined in CT04 for Equipment - Manufacturer and Model Number.
Example
Manufacturer can have values like ABC, XYZ, JUO.....
Model Number can have values like 123 Model, 124 Model, 125 Model. 126 Model
My first requirement is - I need to have defined the Manufacturer and Model Number in tables, and refer that custom table in CT04 (I think I can use value check against table) option. Is this is the correct way?
My second req is - For example if I choose ABC from Manufacturer then only 125 Model and 126 Model should show up on Model Number Characteristic - how to achieve this? I have given an example of values here, but in runtime it could be dynamic, so not sure how to write Dependancy here
Any help is much appreciated!
Regards,
Justin.

Hi Justin,
For your first requirement - Yes, you can use the option check against table but only drawback here is that the table you are referring should have one primary key and not more than that(Check this).
Second requirement - If you have two characteristics for manufacturer & model, then this not possible. Instead you can have one characteristic for both and maintain model numbers as sub-characteristic values for each of the manufacturer value.

Ravi
