Hi Senthilnathan,

1. Create the class first with class type 017. use transaction CL01, CL02.

e.g class - MD_ TECHNICAL

2. Create the characteristics using transaction CT04. Characteristic can have many value formats like numerical, date, character etc. Also it can have single value and multiple value. In restriction tab you can restrict this characteristics to one class on to multiple class which you desire. You can maintain he description of characteristics in various languages. You can make some characteristics mandatory.

e.g Characteristics 1. Drawing Size :  value A3,A4, A0 etc, 2, Drawing type: Layout, Mechanical, electrical, automation etc. 3. Vendor drawing number - 1234ABCD. 4. Vendor - Sulzer , etc.

Assing above characteristics to class MD_TECHNICAL

3. In DMS in SPRO do the configuration to assing this class to document type DRW

4. When you create DIR with document type DRW, system will ask to fill values for characteristics as mentioned in point 2.

5. You can search drawing based in class and characteristics values in cv04n.

6. Also there are various good search available for objects i.e. assing to vendor, drawing type, etc. see transaction CL6B, CL20N, CL6BN , CL30, CL30N etc.

Above way is one such example to use class, characterizes etc in SAP.

Hope the above steps help.
