You're using the BAPI TRANSACTION COMMIT after the BAPI to change your characteristic data, right?

After calling function BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE you need to call function BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT if the result from BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE is successful or BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK if the result from BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE is not successful.

the BAPI distinguish between types of data:

1) char-type characteristics
2) numeric-type
3) currency type

For each type there is its own table-parameter - pay your attention that you put it in correct parameter. Also pay attention to the objectkey and objecttable parameters.

The best way to check whether it is correct would be try to read the characteristcs by bapi BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL

Yes, i am using get detail Bapi to get all values and pass the values to change bapi and commit bapi. And it's return assignment saved message. But I am not able see the values in VCH2. Are you able to see.

Hello sri6666

Besides the BAPI you might consider using APIs for Logistics to handle classification.

API for classification names start with CACL_ ; they are in the CACL function group - List of Available APIs

Personally I find this APIs very useful and I prefer them over BAPIs.

Best regards

You called BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE
You checked that there are no error in RETURN (type EAX)
You called BAPI TRANSACTION COMMIT

Could you

check the validity dates of class
check SM13 for for possible errors or processing still in progress (when tables which stores the classification data like AUSP and KSSK contains too much data)
Call VCH3 first (so not requiring a lock)
