SAP Note 714929 - Changing characteristic and class master data for CDP

Component : Characteristics-dependent Planning - Classes and Characteristics

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/714929 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note advises on managing class and characteristic master data changes within the Characteristics-dependent Planning (CDP) environment in APO. Key points include: using class type 400, integrating characteristics correctly, and keeping in mind that numeric formats in APO handle a total of 15 characters, including three decimal places. CDP-specific classes should not contain reference characteristics or support hierarchical structures. User-defined data types and currency formats are not compatible with CDP. For effective integration, verify characteristics' relevancy for CDP, ensuring compatibility and adherence to specified formats.
