Displaying Classification Classes 

Use

Two classes are required for the new functionality. One for purchase requisition items and one for other purchasing documents. These classes have already been created. In this step you can display the classes for purchase requisitions to familiarize yourself with the links with classification you will see later in Customizing for MM.

    The ABAP dictionary link to the communication structure CEBAN is displayed at class level. However, the link is created at characteristic level. When the characteristic is added to the class, the information about this link can be displayed at class level of the characteristic.

  12. Choose until the overview tree appears.
