COPA - characteristic derivation for product group from the material number

Scenarios:

We need to define a characteristic derivation for product group from the material number.

Steps:

V/76 - Define Product Hierarchy

MM02 - update the Product Hierarchy in the material master

The Product Hierarchy (PH): 001000010500000115. MARA-PRDHA

Product Category: 00100 - First 5 characters in PH

Product group: 00105 - next 5 characters after Product Category

KEDR - Define Characteristic Derivation

KES1 - Go to this transaction code to maintain the value for user defined characteristics

KE21 - Test the derivation works:

 Enter

Update the Company code and Enter
