Classifying a Material with a Standard

You may want to change a material that is already classified, in a class without characteristics, for example, by classifying the material in a different class.

You can do this manually in the system at any time. For materials that you want to classify as standard materials, you can also get the system to classify the material.

To classify a material as a standard material in a DIN class, proceed as follows:

1. From the classification menu, choose  Environment  Copy standard  Material from std  .

2. Enter the following data on the next screen:

   Material	Number of the material you want to classify
   Standards data no.	Number under which you stored the DIN standard number in the SAP system

1. Enter the standards data number or choose Find standard number to select the standard you require. Select the standard by choosing Choose .

2. Choose Assign .

   You see a list of characteristic records. Choose Choose to select a record.

   In the background, the material is classified in the class to which you assigned the characteristic record. The values from the characteristic record you selected are automatically assigned to the characteristics of the class. If the material is already classified, this leads to multiple classification.
