Batch management requirement indicator

Dear experts,
Due to an error during test-conversion, I have a number of materials that should have gotten the Batch management requirement indicator. At this moment the system does not allow me to change this indicator, because it detects stockpostings.
Since it is an inactive client I have the possibility to change whatever is needed, so I removed the stock. But apparantly this is not enough.
Does anyone know a way to enforce the Batch management requirement indicator?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards, AJ

Hi,
You also need to check for open sales order, open production orders, open WM transfer orders and open deliveries. These documents needs to be closed/completed.
Check OSS notes 533276 - Setting the batch management requirement indicator.
Following is the details of this notes;
Summary
Symptom
The attempt to set the batch management requirement indicator for a
material in the material master record maintenance fails because there are
stocks or documents that are not completed such as production orders, sales
orders, deliveries or WM transfer orders.
More Terms
MARA-XCHPF, MARC-XCHPF, RVBCONVMAT2BM
Cause and Prerequisites
Solution
Here, the standard procedure is to clear stocks of the current and the
previous period as well as to complete the open documents. Note 30656
provides further information about this.
Alternatively, in the case of a large data or document volume, you can use
a conversion report from the batch development that sets the batch
management requirement indicator without the necessity of manual
preliminary works such as the posting of the stocks or the completion of
open documents.
We have developed the main features of this report, but it must be adjusted

  • Batch Management Requirement

    Dear Experts,
    We are going for Batch management in our rollout project.
    Scenario we wil be as follows:
    1] SFG material need to be handled by Batch
    2] FG material need to be handled by Batch
    3] We want the Batch output of SFG to FG
    Ex: let say we have manufactured SFG as ABCD123, this need to be processed again become FG at this time also we want batch as ABCD123.
    How this can be achived & which is better either internal OR external.
    Please suggest
    Thanks
    DN

    Hi Don,
    First things first both the SFG and the FG need to have the Batch Management indicator activated in the material master. Secondly in SPRO you can choose to activate Internal batch number assignment or leave it at default inactive status. Thirdly maintain the BOM for FG and SFG. When you are manufacturing or procuring the SFG you have the freedon of mentioning the Batch number in the goods receipt tab of the production order or in the batch tab of the MIGO transaction.
    Once the SFG is in stock you can create a similar batch for the FG at the time of production and this is because both these materials are different and can be produced or procured or sold independently. So the batch becomes material specific.
    I hope the solution was helpful
    Thanks and Regards

  • FIFO Valuation - Is Batch Managed Required?

    Hi ,
    I need help to confirm to me if we are planning to use FIFO valuation, must the material be batch managed if needs to use this functionality? Appreciate clarification from the experienced Gurus in FIFO valuation. Thanks!
    Regards,
    Michelle Low

    Hello
    I have gone thru couple documents and SAP help, there is no requirement of Batch management for FIFO.
    System will carry out FIFO valuation based on goods receipts,material document internally. I have tested some steps in FIFO scenario as explained in SAP Help and no meesages on Batch requiremnt requirement.
    Lets wait for some moe time for FIFO valuation expert posts.

  • Batch Management Requirement - SD document

    hi all,
    I am trying to activate batch management in MM02. But it has error:
    SD documents exist (orders or deliveries) that have not yet been processed or that have been processed only in part.
    It lists two SD document: one SO and one DN
    This is the only error the system gives. I am sure the material has no inventory in previous period and this period and no other outstanding document
    Then I changed the DN qty to 0, posted it
    And I changed the SO qty to 0 or reject the SO item
    But system keep giving the above error
    Could anyone advise?
    Thanks

    hai;
    First you have to cancel the DN .Take VL09.Reverse the goods movement then take VL02 select the document and delete the items from it and save.
    Then goto VA02 and type the SO number and delete the item .and save it.
    Now the stock will be greater than zero.
    Once again make it as zero and activate the batch management.
    Hope this will serve you better
    regards.

  • Batch Management Indicator not getting set for material master

    Hi,
    In one of the material we need to mark the Batch Management Indicator in Material MAster. We had removed all the stocks from the material. But still we are getting error, Stock exists for the material in Plant XXX and Sloc YYY.
    I checked in MARD table and MMBE that for this maaterial there are no stock for said Sloca and Plant.
    One thing which I noticed in the Material Master and MARDH table that there exists some stock in Previous persiod for the said Sloc and Plant.
    Need to know is this error is due to stock shown in previous period. Why system is checking the previous period stock.
    How can we resolve our issue and check this Indicator.
    Please let me know as earliest as possible.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Refer OSS Note 30656 - Change base unit of measure/batch mngt requirement
    Following are the details of this note;
    Symptom
    When maintaining a material master record, you change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator or the valuation category. The system then tells you that this change is not possible since stocks still exist. However, no stocks are shown for the material in the stock overview.
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The message that stocks still exist refers not only to stocks in the current period, but also to stocks in the previous period.
    The reason for checking previous period stocks is that postings can also be made to the previous period when entering goods movements. This would result in inconsistencies if the base unit of measure had meanwhile been changed.
    Solution
    Please check whether stocks still exist for the previous period by displaying, for example, the plant stock view or storage location stock view of the material. You do this by selecting "Extras -> Previous period -> Prev. pd SLoc. stock or Prev. pd plant stock".
    If previous period stocks exist, you can make a withdrawal posting as follows:
          1. Post the same amount to current period stock (for example, using movement type 561) so that previous period stock and current period stock are identical.
          2. Make a withdrawal posting in the previous period for the stock together with posting date (for example, using movement type 562).
    You can now try again to change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator.
    Since the posting of the previous period values to zero is identical with posting to the stocks of the current period, you should reverse the above stock postings (i.e. the stock from the previous period should be booked in again) to make sure that the stock values from the previous and the current periods correspond to the state before the change. Please note, however, that the postings are then carried out using the changed master data from the current period (e.g. account determination, etc.)

  • UNCHECK BATCH MANAGEMENT INDICATOR

    Hello all, I cannot find an appropriate Note onto OSS to solve this issue and hope you could provide some ideas over it.
    By error on initial upload we've flagged the 'batch-mgmnt' box (MARC-XCHAR) for few materials on period 12-06.  These materials has received movements in periods 12-06, 01-07, 02-07... and unwanted batches were generated.  Our jobs for consumptions are becoming in error because we didn't prepare them for managing batches (we do not use batches even).  There is a way to uncheck the 'batch-mgmnt' box in MM02?
    We already leave the stocks in 'zero'. We deleted & archived the batches.  But when try to uncheck the box the error message emerges again: there are still batches.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Module MM Backoffice,
    I think this will be helpful.
    Reward if answer is helpful.
    Arif Mansuri
    Please find here with the OSS solution as follow:
    1) Follow OSS note 30656 which explains explains following:
    When maintaining a material master record, you change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator or the valuation category. The system then tells you that this change is not possible since stocks still exist. However, no stocks are shown for the material in the stock overview.
    Cause and prerequisites
    The message that stocks still exist refers not only to stocks in the current period, but also to stocks in the previous period.
    The reason for checking previous period stocks is that postings can also be made to the previous period when entering goods movements. This would result in inconsistencies if the base unit of measure had meanwhile been changed.
    Solution
    Please check whether stocks still exist for the previous period by displaying, for example, the plant stock view or storage location stock view of the material. You do this by selecting "Extras -> Previous period -> Prev. pd SLoc. stock or Prev. pd plant stock".
    If previous period stocks exist, you can make a withdrawal posting as follows:
    1. Post the same amount to current period stock (for example, using movement type 561) so that previous period stock and current period stock are identical.
    2. Make a withdrawal posting in the previous period for the stock together with posting date (for example, using movement type 562).
    You can now try again to change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator.
    Now reverse the stock postings above if necessary.
    2)
    Do MM02, erase batch management flag, then save. System creates message that you should look into the error log.
    Maybe you havent realized that in this case a new button appears next to the additional data button called ERROR LOG. Click this button and SAP tells you why it does not allow to erase the batch management flag.
    Further see OSS notes 533383 and 30656
    Consider creating a new material instead of changing the batch management flag, it is much easier and faster than doing all the necessary steps like closing open docuements, and archiving some objects to be able to do the change.

    SAP provided two reports which can update or remove BATCH MANAGEMENT INDICATOR and BATCHES without removing the material stocks and documents. We need to close only open physical inventory documents.
    The below reports update, all relevant documents based on batch activation/de-activation:
    u2022 RVBCONVMAT2BM - Sets the batch management requirement indicator.
    u2022 RVBREVMATBM - Removes the batch management requirement indicator
    But,these programns will not be available in standard SAP,they has to procured form SAP.

  • BADI - WORKORDER_GOODSMVT - check for BATCH management

    Hi there,
    I have implemented WORKORDER_GOODSMVT BADI (Backflush method) to fill the batch number with a default value for a given plant.
    This is working fine.
    However, I only want to fill this if the Material in the Production Order is "batch managed" (at the moment it's happening for all materials in the Prod. Order ). This indicator field does not appear to be available in the structures of the BADI.
    If I look in CO02 for the order, I can see a column called BATCH which is filled with an 'X' in certain cases.
    An F1 on the screen field says that it is 'RESBD-SPLKZ'
    However, if I check RESB table (or read RESBD using a function module) , this SPLKZ field is always blank for the given order.
    Does anyone have an idea why this is, or where I can find a proper "Batch Indicator" field?
    All suggestions appreciated.
    I have searched forums and can't find relevant solution.
    Thanks,
    David.

    Hi Bruce,
    I solved the problem by going to MARC table with material and plant, and checking field MARC-XCHPF ('Batch management requirement indicator').
    if this field was set to 'X', I made my change to the CHARG field.
    Hopefully this helps you.
    this is from a long time ago, I should have updated the post sooner - will mark as solved now.
    thanks,
    David

  • How to remove Batch Management Check in the Material

    I have one requirement to remove batch management check in the materials which should not be deleted.
    I created a testing material with batch management check on and put in material through 561, then did good issue for
    scrapping to remove the stock out. So existing stock is zero in Material Master.
    Then deleted the batch in MSC2N by putting all the delete checks on. There was just one batch created for the material.
    Then ran transaction MM74 to archive, the spool request is as below:
    MCHB: 000000000010000498 2002 1002 D000000200 entry archived                             1 000000000010000498
    Archiving Session Number                                  000004
    Number of Written Data Objects                                1
    Size of Archiving Session in MB                           0,011
    Proportion of Header Data in %                             96,7
    Then in MMPV changed the closing period to may as all the postings were performed in april.
    Now still when I go and remove the batch management check in MM02 Purchasing view, still gives we DISPLAY ERROR message:
    The batch management requirement cannot
    be changed for the follow
    Batches already exist.
    ANY IDEAS why its not allowing me to remove the check as I guess I have performed all the steps required.

    Check whether the batch master is still exists in MSC3N .if it ia archived it should not be avialble in MSC3N
    Refer note:30656
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The message that stocks still exist refers not only to stocks in the current period, but also to stocks in the previous period.
    The reason for checking previous period stocks is that postings can also be made to the previous period when entering goods movements. This would result in inconsistencies if the base unit of measure had meanwhile been changed.
    Solution
    Check whether stocks still exist for the previous period by displaying; for example, the plant stock view or storage location stock view of the material. You do this by selecting "Extras -> Previous period -> Prev. pd SLoc. stock or Prev. pd plant stock".
    If previous period stocks exist, you can make a withdrawal posting as follows:
    1. Post the same amount to current period stock (for example, using movement type 561) so that previous period stock and current period stock are identical.
    2. Make a withdrawal posting in the previous period for the stock together with posting date (for example, using movement type 562).
    You can now try to change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator again.
    Since the posting of the previous period values to zero is identical with posting to the stocks of the current period, you should reverse the above stock postings (that is, the stock from the previous period should be booked in again) to make sure that the stock values from the previous and the current periods correspond to the state before the change. However, note that the postings are then carried out using the changed master data from the current period (for example, account determination and so on)

  • Batch management check activation

    Dear All,
    Here I have one query
    Can we able to activate the Batch management check in the material master-->Purchaging view, if we have open or completed sales documents and deliveries for that materail.
    Reply ASAP
    Regards,
    Murali.

    Hi,
    If there are open sales orders, production orders, deliveries and WM transfer orders exists then you can't activate the batch management indicator. Also any stock exists in the present or past period, you can't activate.
    Go through SAP notes 533276 - Setting the batch management requirement indicator and  30656 - Change base unit of measure/batch mngt requirement for details.
    Check details in MM forum threads also.

  • Easy or flexible ways to deactivate the batch management!

    Hi Experts,
    In our company , we want to deactivate the batch management for some materials.
    I know it is not an easy way to do this according to the SAP Note  30656:
    to clear stocks of the current and the previous period as well as to complete the open documents.
    It is very painful to do the standard procedure as SAP provide.
    I want if there is some easy or flexible ways to deactivate the batch management.
    For example , to change for new material number.
    Or we can set the batch number value to a fixed value, for example "1234" for all these materils.
    Are there any other easy or flexible ways to deactivate the batch management?
    May be do not need toremove the batch management indicator in the material master?
    Just make it simple for all the goods movement that with batch number value input?
    Thanks for any reply!

  • Turn on batch managed for materials

    Hi Expert!
    Is there anyway to turn on batch managed for material after it has been used for some times?
    Please advise.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can use the Batch Management functionality, even after having some stock for a material without Batch classification.  After activating Batch Management, when you enter goods movements for materials, then onwards you must enter the batch number in addition to the material number.
    Before you can manage batches of a material in stock, you must first specify in the material master record that the material is to be managed in batches for the specified plant. To do this, you must set the batch management requirement indicator in the material master record (for example, in the Purchasing or Storage view).

    Narayana.

  • Problems with existing stock and batch management indicator

    Hi,
    We would like to set the batch management indicator for a material.
    However, there is stock on the material for the given plant.
    The different stock categories for the plant/material combination are as follows (according to transaction MMBE):
    Unrestricted use 150
    Reserved (for production ordeers) 42
    Open order qty (incoming PO) 100
    "When I try to set the batch management indicator in MM02 I receive the following error message:

    in plant A, you have to add 21 in current period (e.g. with 202 movement), then you issue 171 in previous period. with 201. Result: both periods are zero.
    plant B, just issue 17 in previous period with 201.
    for Plant A   171 with movement 202 back into stock with previous period date, and subsequently 21 goods issue using 201 in current period.
    for plant B: 17 with movement 202 and previous period date.
