Appending new characteristic in existing class (class type 300)

Hi,

We have created multiple classes with various characteristics assigned to it. Now, we have a requirement to add new characteristics to all classes.

Can you please suggest a way to update this new characteristic to multiple classes. We have tried LSMW Idoc method but it expects to delete all existing characteristics within the class and add new set of characteristics which is not possible.

Thanks & Regards,

Manohar

Hi Manohar,

Need to consider below details for BDC.

What is the position of the Char. in all classes? It should be same for all class.

AND

All classes should have same number of chars. (preceded by this char.) because  in BDC recording we need to specify the position of the char. in the corresponding class.

You can also try with BAPI with in ABAP code.

BAPI_CLASS_CHANGE .

Documentation:

Change Class

This function module changes a class and its data.

Important

Structures and tables for new data that enter with NEW must be maintained correctly.

If these structures or tables are empty, the data in them is deleted.

If no data is to be changed, the structures and tables ending with NEW must match the current data.

To fill structures and tables with current data, use the relevant GETDETAIL module to copy the old data from the class first.

The class-specific overwrite data for characteristics and values must be made available using the data copied by calling the GETDETAIL module.

If nothing is transferred in these tables, there is no overwrite.

This BAPI does not change the database. To change the database, call BAPI BapiService.TransactionCommit.
