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

[sri6666]

Yes.. i used same

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.

[sri6666]

Yes, i call the bapi_transaction_commit . But still VCH2 not show's characteristic values for material. Even bapi return success message.

[OlegBash]

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

[sri6666]

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.

Please Check Transaction commit triggered based on sy-subrc

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.

So

• 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)

Any other input experts,

I tried with all your input and bapi return with success message. But not updated the values in VCH2 transaction.

Let me know any other process for VCH1 and VCH2. Bapi solution provided by sap support team only along with 2577370 and 2588972 oss notes implementation
