Hi,
Batch management of existing material can not be done if it has stock and value.You can keep stock value NIL (By reversing) and then proceed with batch management.

Batch to be activated for a material

We need to activate Batch Management for a material which was already created and some transactions also done with that.
We have done the following :
1) All required settings done in SPRO
2) All documents for that material have been deleted. There are no Open documents (PR, PO, Sales).
3) There is no stock for that material.
4) Now when we try to activate Batch Management tick in Material Master it gives error
Batch management requirement cannot be changed; choose "Display errors"
when we click on display errors :
The batch management requirement cannot
be changed for the following reasons:
"Stock already exists at Plant level"
But there is no stock, no documents. We do not want to do any archiving activity. so whether this material can be activated for batch management.
Please clarify : If any transaction has happened for a material, but there is no stock or open documents, whether batch can be activated.

Hi,
Have you checked the stock at zero level for all the plants?
Also, activate the batch managemetn at material level and create.
Check open PO exist for any other plant? In MMBE---enter material, got to Environment data on MEnu bar and select Open PO's.
Then go to MM02 and activate Batchy Management.
Hope this helps.

Multiple physical inventory document active for same material-storage locat

hi experts,
I am using transaction code MI31 for creating physical inventory document for all materials at a particular warehouse(storage location). User is selecting direct generation of of PI documents in the transaction. If by mistake he presses execute button more than once system is creating as many copies of physical inventory documents. As per ERP system logic it sound very wrong to have multiple physical inventory document active for same material-storage location ( no batches or special stocks exist ).
Is there a message number or some standard setting to prevent such occurrence.
regards
Avinash

Hi,
Syetem won't create again physical inventory document, if allready PI is active for the same part number, plant, storage location & batch/valuation type.
Check your PI documnets

Wants to activate batch management for a material which already had a Stock

hi,
i want to activate batch management for a material which already has a stock and open Purchasing documents.
is there any way by which we can do it without removing the same.
please help.

program name is RVBCONVMAT2BM
but i am doubtfull it will be delivered with standard SAP, you need to request you from SAP as they charge for this.
this program convert the material to batch and all relevant dependant documents will be updated with batch no.
Regards,
Pravin Mukkawar
pasting some description of the program
REPORT rvbconvmat2bm.
Report illustrates the call of function module VBZ0401_CONVERT_OBJECTS
which sets the batch management flag for one material including
depending objects. Function module VBZ0401_FILL_BUFFERS helps
improving the performance.

Is it possible to activate Batch Management for a material without Class?

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to activate Batch Management for a material without having Class & Characteristics maintained. As my requirement is to procure Fuels in Batches only with external no. assignment without any parameters to be checked at the time of Goods Receipt? Batches are needed for Accountability purpose.

Please check this answered link:
Batch-classification view
If you want classify a batch, then you should have maintained the batch classification in material master which is either class 022 or class 023 (depends on your batch level set in cusotmizing). The material class 001 has no impact on the batch classifcition, it is what it is: a classification for the material.

Update Batch Classification for a Material

Hello friends,
I'm facing the following problem : A specific BTCI wich simulates MB01 was calling another program called SAPLCTMS to update Batch classification for a Material, this program (SAPLCTMS ) seems to be not necessary after the support package Level 57 (we just installed SAP4.6C). I didn't find any note on OSS for this...
Now i'm trying to use this BAPI instead of BTCI for the Material batch classification :
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE'
         EXPORTING
              objectkey          = l_objnum
              objecttable        = 'MCH1'
              classnum           = 'ZGB_TIDCLASS'
              classtype          = '022'
              status             = '1'
              keydate            = sy-datum
         TABLES
              allocvaluesnumnew = t_valuesnum
              allocvaluescharnew = t_valueschar
              allocvaluescurrnew = t_valuescurr
              return             = t_return.
But its not working, it keeps asking for a batch number. I guess i'm not using the right FM ?
Any ideas about this ?
Thank you in advance for your help !
Best Regards.

Activating split valuation for existing material code

All SAP Gurus,
We have certain material codes in ROH and HALB material types in a plant.
We are doing external procurement as well as inter-company stock transfer (STO) of the same materials.
We want to keep the separate accounting of the material which is procured from out side and which has been received through STO.
As the material codes are same, in my view only solution is to have split valuation for these materials.
Now, as the materials are already in use since very long, will it be possible to actvate split valuation for these materials?
If yes then how?
Is there any alternate way to tackle with the problem?
Regards,

Hi,
Better you go with Split Valuation. But Before u go to split valution u have u clear all Pending Documents for that material.
U must not have stock in for that particular material.
In Split valuation, use material Valutaion type STO or External procurements.
Donot make any of the Valuation Type as Default....it will create problem in Future.
Hope Help u !

Removal of batch management for a material in MM02

Hi all,
I Have a problem in removing the batch management in the purchasing view of a material.The error is 'Batch management requirement cannot be changed,Batch already exists'.
PO is created on this material.GR is done and that GR is reversed.There is no stock in the previous period.In MSC2N batch is deleted.I tried even after deleting the item in the PO.Again system is giving the same error.
Now how can i remove the batchmanagement for the material.
Thanks,
Rambhupal reddy

your batch is probably only flagged for deletion. You have to run archiving, Transaction SARA for object MM_SPSTOCK to get rit of the batch record.

How can mass create batch classification for many material batches? ?

Hi Experts,
In our system , there are so many material batches which have not been classified，see by
BMBC Tcode.
That means these batches has no values in the batch class. I know we can create
classification for these batches with MSC2N Tcode.
But there are so many batches which have not been classified,more then 2000.
It is not possible to create classification for every batch with with MSC2N once a time.
So how can I create batch classification for so many batches once a time?
How can I mass create batch classification for so many batches??
Thanks for any reply!

Hi,
Please be aware that SAP does not support the use of batch
input in the classification system. SAP recommends you use BAPI's for
example in your case BAPI BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE and BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE
would be able to help. For more information, please have a look at the
note: 943559 - Point 2 and 13. Point 13 references the note 1083986.
I hope this helps!.
