R/3 Classification System: integration with MDM?

[Former Member]

I understand that R/3 classification system class/characteristic values for material are not (standard) able to be downloaded to MDM.

Can anyone confirm?

Also, has anyone done custom development to send R/3 classification system information to MDM? If so, was this a "big" effort & can you describe how this was accomplished?

Thank you.

I believe that you are correct. The delivered data models (which are really just starting points) don't include any structures for characteristics/values. Also the normal extrator program for material don't include these as well. Going back to ALE the material was a separate object from the classification itself. However in ALE it was possible to send both in a two step process.

Since you do have extraction objects (At the least you would use BD93 to send the actual classification assignments - however you may also need BD92 - Classes and BD91 Characteristics to get all the supporting information), it is theoretically possible to extended your products repository with structures for the classification and then create a custom import to popuplate it. However I have not actually attempted this.

As per my limited knowledge with MDM all knids of Master Data can be upload int MDM System and there is no exception to Classification Master Data.
