SAP Char.Value Description not in CAWNT

[tdybdahl]

I'm running into a bit of a problem when trying to lookup characteristic value descriptions.

Normally we'd create characteristics using Datatype = CHAR, however for certain characteristics we use Datatype = NUM.

Now the problem is that I can't find the Characteristic Value Description in table CAWNT when the Datatype = NUM eventhough the characteristic itself is present in CABN/CABNT/CAWN.

Please also see screendumps in enclosed xml file.

Any idea why CAWNT isn't populated?

Hello tdybdahl

I'd suggest using SAP provided interfaces to deal with classification either BAPIs:

or logistics APIs: List of Available APIs instead of reading classification data directly from the database tables.

Good idea, however I don't do programming and as this is for a one-off report I don't think I'll get away with a ticket for such request at the developers.

I'll try them out in our testenvironment anyway though, just to see what they do and if they could serve my purpose if there is going to be an ongoing demand for such report.

Thanks for info.
