Characteristic grouping

[Former Member]

Does anyone know of a way to programmatically create characteristic groupings?

For example, I have assigned a class to an equipment with BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE and now I want to group the characteristics pulled in as though I were following menu path Value assignment > Characteristic grouping > Create in IE02.

Thanks very much.

Well, once again, I've answered my own question. I'll post for everyones benefit.

My config guy told me that the groupings of characteristics were specific to each object (equipment, etc.). As I was digging through this problem and started looking at the CUSD and CUFM tables I noticed that the OBJNR field was no where to be found in the table primary key. So, I ran a couple tests and it turns out he was mistaken. If you change the groupings in one equipment for a class, it changes in other equipments for that class too.

So it doesn't really make sense to have batch input. If you change it in one place it transfers over. Hope this helps someone else down the road.

Cheers,
