How to assign characteristics to class using BAPI

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I created class using BAPI_CLASS_CREATE, then Created 2 Characteristics using BAPI_CHARACT_CREATE.

Which means I class created as "CLS_001" and characteristics created as "CHAR_001_01" and "CHAR_001_02" respectively.

Now my question is, how can I assign "CHAR_001_01" and "CHAR_001_02" to that class "CLS_001"? Which BAPI i can use for this?

Thanks in advance.

use BAPI_CLASS_CREATE. Please check the link:

Hi Janaraja,

You have two options to assign characteristics to class.

Option1 ) In BAPI BAPI_CLASS_CREATE -> While creating you the Class you can assign.

OPtion 2) In BAPI BAPI_CLASS_CHANGE -> You can assign a created characteristic to the already created class.

After these call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT and should work.

Revert in case further questions,

Dear Ankit,

I tried to assign characteristics to my particular class using BAPI_CLASS_CREATE.

But Still I can not assign the characteristics. I am using the following code.

But Characteristics not getting assign. Where I am doing mistake.?

Thanks.

hey, i checked your code its working perfectly, i don't see any reason you should continue this thread.

its perfectly fine..

the only thing is you should have characteristics ready to assign them to the class.

everything else is fine.

Thumbs UP. 

if you still have doubts. give me what is the message you are getting back... but your code is good.

[Former Member]

Hi Janaraja,

The characteristic which you intend to pass from selection screen to it_cls_car should exist and be visible in CT04 transaction. Then your code works fine.

See your code modified by me and attached screenshots for your reference.

Now see the class (901) and characteristic (Test 3) in CL03.

Hi Janaraja,

Check these Information Notes also Sample Code given by SAP :

Note 1083986 - BAPIs for classification - Overview

Note 1323945 - BAPI_CLASS_CREATE: Instructions for use

Note 1479120 - BAPI_CHARACT_CREATE: Operating instructions

Note 1235844 - BAPI_CLASS_CHANGE: Operating instructions

As per your requirement , if you already create class using "BAPI_CLASS_CREATE" without Characteristics .

then you create two characteristics using "BAPI_CHARACT_CREATE" .

Now you want to assign these characteristics to class , mean you must change your class with assign these characteristics, for Changing the Class use

BAPI_CLASS_CHANGE. if you use this Class change BAPI , use one more BAPI (i.e.  "BAPI_CLASS_GETDETAIL")  before assign any value into "BAPI_CLASS_CHANGE" .

Check the Sample Code in Note 1235844 - BAPI_CLASS_CHANGE: Operating instructions

Hi lakshmanan,

use BAPI BAPI_CLASS_CHANGE,

CLASSNUM = class_name

CLASSTYPE = 003 "class type

CLASSDESCRIPTIONS = description ' key word

CLASWSCHARACTERISTICSNEW = character name " which we want to assign to the class.

call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

Hi Lakshmanan,

If you are using BAPI_CLASS_CREATE, here the Character should already exist.

hence what we are doing here is, we creating a new class and assigning a character which already exists to it.

BAPI_CLASS_CREATE

CLASSNUMNEW = class name

CLASSTYPENEW = class type

CLASSDESCRIPTIONS = description                    " en en description

CLASSCHARACTERISTICS = character_name     " name_char = character name

Hi

Use :    'BAPI_CHARACT_CREATE'

This will work..

Hi Venkateswaran,

i don't see how could the bapi u gave could solve the issue?

Hi,

try below Bapis.

BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE and BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE

Thanks,

Pradeep P

[Former Member]

Pradeeep,

those BAPIs are for object class assignment.

if you want to assign a classification to a Functional location or Equipment or Material then, we  could use the BAPIs you mentioned.

[Former Member]

Thank you all. Finally I found the Solution. The solution is First we should create charact then class then Assign charact to that class. let me explain bit easier.

loop.

Check Charact n = exist

If true

{

Check Class = Exist

If true

{

Assign Charact to Class with specific Class type.

If False

{

Create Class.

}

If false Create Charact

{

Then Assign Charact(s) to Class

}

Endloop.

-Thanks.
