Classification (class type 001): How to retrieve “Characteristics no longer allowed by configuration

Hi all,

I’m facing this issue:

  • In material classification (class type 001, transaction MM02 or CL20N) you can switch to View ▸ Characteristics not allowed to see all characteristics that are still stored in AUSP but are no longer valid – in my case because dependency knowledge (relationship constraints) hides them.

  • See the attached screenshot: the popup lists items like “Number of colours”, “Subject”, etc.zero4788_0-1750013966969.png

  • I need to fetch exactly this list programmatically (or via a standard report) for many materials to clean up our data. The GUI popup alone isn’t sufficient.

What I already tried

  1. Manual delta AUSP vs. KSML via SELECT … EXCEPT – works only partly, probably missing validity dates, deletion flags or dependency logic.

Questions

  • Is there a function module/BAPI that returns exactly the same result as the popup (including dependency knowledge)?

  • Did I overlook a standard report/transaction?

  • If a custom report is the only way: which additional checks (validity intervals, dependency knowledge, class hierarchy) do I have to consider for an accurate AUSP ↔ KSML delta?

Any hint appreciated!
Thanks,
