Classification view in MM01 with LSMW

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am trying to upload Material Master data from LSMW using Direct Input method.

When I am using Direct Input method, I am not able to find fields such as KLART and CLASS_01 regarding Classification View(3rd view).

So I tried Batch Recording , still that data is not posting instead giving the message : "No data for the screen"

Is there any way to upload classification of material details?

Any ray of hope will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I use LSMW for Classification view create/update/delete - material master (standard class type KLART = 001) and vendor master (KLART = 010) - object 0130, method 0002, program RCCLBI03 but you can assign classification to any object supporting class. It works pretty well.

Hi,

you can create Material master - Classification View through MM02 transaction using the standard batch/Direct Input .

In LSMW, select standard batch/Direct Input

In Object field enter 0130 and the method is 0002.

In Field mapping, OBJEK will be the MATNR field.

Hi all,

I thank you for all ur help provided. But what I deduce from the answers provided was that the classification that you were talking about is regading the global classification of the material , but what I want to do is to do material classification using LSMW's(the third view in MM01).

Please do correct me if I am wrong and guide the right way to me.

awaiting a ray of hope from u all....

Thanks in advance.

Material classification is done via central classification system. There is a predefinition of a class type to be used with materials, and as far as I remember you can use only one class to classify materials. Besides this the class is a common ordinary class of classification system.

Hi,

Classification is a cross-application component and so it can be associated with any object, be it a material or a work center or a BOM etc. It treats everything as an object and is identified with the object key.

So you will create the objects first(materials, work centers etc), and then assign classes to them with some characteristic values. Now most of the online transactions combine these two activities into one and so you will be able to create a material and also create its classification view at the same time in MM01. But programatically there is no single such utility to do them together. You have to load your material masters first and then your classification using two different LSMW objects.

Hope this helps,

For classification, use object 0130, method 0002.

You might look at Standard Batch/Direct object 0130 (Classification) and Method 0001 or 0002. See at LSMW screen of Object attributes step.

Hope this helps.

You can do class assignments thru CU41. I have written a BDC over this transaction to copy config profiles from one material to another. Works pretty good. Try writing your own "upload" program using CU41.
