CL02 is where you create a class and you have to assign it to a class type at that point. This is considered master data not configuration task.

Classification is part of cross-application components and by that it means you can classification used in different areas from BOMs, to material master to vendor or customer master etc. Each of the class types explain the areas where classification is used. Under each class type, you have classes assigned to them, and within each class you will have characteristics and each characteristic can hold one or more values depending on how it is defined. Until this point it is all master data. Now you can assign objects to classes and what objects can be assigned to what classes(indirectly to which class type) is determined by their underlying master table and is defined in IMG under cross application components.

Once you assign an object to a class, you can enter the values for each of the characteristics and store against that object. This is a generic explanation of the classification system.

Now coming to material master, you define the classification to have those extra fields (characteristics) so that you can store additional data pertaining to the material without doing any core modification. That is the main purpose of the classification.
