BATCH and VALUATION TYPE

Dear All,
Can anyone, please explain me clearly the difference between BATCH and VALUATION TYPE in MIGO and PO screen?
What is the link between them ? pls explain in detail....
Edited by: Raju on Nov 17, 2008 8:02 AM

Hi,
There's a link between both which is the indicator "Valuation type is set automatically". It can be set at the global or local (plant) valuation category.
When you set this indicator, it means that each batch itself represents a valuation type (individual batch valuation). In other words, a valuation record is created automatically for each batch at Goods Receipt.
-Edited-
Example scenario:
I activated batch management at plant level for material A and also activated split valuation. For this material, I produced the first batch (100pieces per batch) with certain characteristics. This batch is valuated at $100 per piece. I do a Goods Receipt against Production Order.
Then my next production batch has better characteristics, so I wanted to valuate a piece slightly higher. With the indicator "Valuation type is set automatically", I can set a different price for this second batch during Goods Receipt from production (because a different valuation type is created for this).
So I make use of batch management to manage my different sets of 100 pieces due to the slight different characteristics during each production run. I also make use of split valuation and the above indicator to valuate each batch separately.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Fields in MIGO - BATCH and Valuation Type

Hi all,
I would like to know the meaning of the following fields in MIGO.
BATCH - Charg
Valuation Type - Bwtar
Which is the impact of each field?
Should they have the same value in TRA MIGO?
Which means that only the BATCH field is entered and the Valuation Type empty?
Thanks you very much!!

valuation type comes into the game If a material is subject to split valuation.
you can for example split the valuation based on origin, e.g. internal produced and external procured.
this is more a financial thing.
the batch is the level to segragate the stock of a material. e.g. each GR can be a new batch. so you can manage the stock by FIFO rules and by shelf life. this is a logistics thing.
Both can be used on their own, or together.
if you want manage your materials by batches, but dont need split valuation, then you only have to take care about batch number, and the valuation type field in the batch record stays empty.
if you manage material by batch and you use split valuation, then the split valuation type is a mandatory field in the batch record and you may have to enter batch and valuation type, but usually the valution type is defaulted from customizing.
The tricky part is if you only use split valuation, because then the valuation type becomes the batch number. this is sometimes a bit confusing.

Defaulting batch and valuation type for a specific division for tcode me21n

Hi
I would like to default the valuation type and batch for a specific division while creating the PO.
Kindly let me know if there is any user exit for this.
Thanks & Regards
Bhagya

Hi .
Actually my requirement is while you are creating PO, the value say 'ABC' must be defaulted both in Batch and valuation type but when change that to 'DEF' it should allow you.. means you should be able to modify the batch and valuation type fields. I can be kept empty also.
I tried using field exit to default Batch and valuation type, but it does not work if the batch is empty.
If I use the BADI you mentioned what are import and export parameters and how do I code to meet my requirement.
Kindly let me know.
I will definitely reward points if it works.
Thanks in advance

WM: Batch and valuation Type

Hi,
Is it possible to maintain a material having batch number as wel as valuation type in warehouse.
Can you guide us for relevant SAP documentation.
Thanks in Advance
Prashant

You can have a material master with split valuation and batch management.
In this case the valuation type is only a field in the batch master record.
In WM stock oveviews and other document you will only see the batch number, not the valuation type.

MB52 batch and valuation type

Dear All,
I have a material for which valuation type and batch management is active. After goods receipt, when i check MB52, i can only see the batch number but no valuation type. So is there any other report that i can see the stock for both valuation type and batch ?
Thanks in advance..
Best regards,

there is no such report, you need to create a customized MB52 report
Only if you would not have batch managment activated, then you could directly see the valuation type in MB52.
Anyhow, have a look into MB5L report, it has the valuation type, but may have other issues, if you execute it just for one material

Batch vs Valuation Type

Hi all,
Can anybody please explain me clear difference between BATCH and VALUATION TYPE in PO? What is the link between them ?
And
what is this Package number in ESLL(Lines of Service Package) table ??
Helpful answers will be certainly rewarded
Thanks & Regards,

as batch is the smallest unit to segregate one material for various reasons, such as quality grade of a production. it can have its own shelf life.
valuation type is a subdivision of a valuation of a material.
this can be by quality:
High quality
Average quality
Inferior quality
or by origin:
domestic
foreign
internal vendor
external vendor
If a material is split valuated but not batch management, then SAP shows the valuation type in the batch number field in the stock overview (that is what is driving many people crazy) SAP even creates a batch record for this valuation type in back ground (can then be seen in tables MCHA/MCH1)
If your material is batch managed and split valuated, then the valuation type is stored within the batch record in an extra field.

Is there any table for relation between batch number and valuation type ?

Stock on posting date with storagelocation,batch and stock types informatio

Hi,
I'm needing a report (similar funtion of MB5B) which must reveal the stock postion (closing balance) of the materials on a particular date alongwith storage loactions, batches and stocktypes (Unres/Q/Blkd).As such MB5B either gives the output either by storage location or by batch, not the combination of both.
Else provide any possibilty means( Database tables) from where i could arrive these mention outputs.
I could be able to get the information by collecting the values from MKPF & MSEG tables. But this information only suffice the material movements carried on that particular date.. And i will be not having the closing balance as a whole.
I even wonder to get any such a kind of information in which i could able to get the stock with stock types(Unres/Q/Blkd).
Any light on this matter is highly appreciable.
Regards
Prasanna

Hi Amit Bakshi,
Thanks for the reply..
I executed the suggested program but i found the same kind of information aslike in MB5B..
The information all i'm looking is to get the closing balance of the given material with storagelocations, batches and stock types on a given posting date.
For eg.
On 15 / 03 / 2011
Material A
Batch       Slocation       Stock type               Closing balance Qty.
A1              S001               Unres.                             50
A1              S002               Unres                            120
B1              S001               Quality                             15
C1              S003               Blocked                            30
In MB5B i could able to get the values of closing balance either Storage location level or by batch level but is it possible to get the combination of both along with stock types?

Report to show open orders and valuation type

Hi,
Is there a report in SAP that shows the open orders and the valuation type of the materials in those orders?
thanks

Hi jay,
What is the definition of Open orders according to your company?
Is it Sales orders created but not delivered? or
Is it Delivery created for the Sales order but not done PGI? or
Is it Sales orders but not billed?
Accordingly you must decide. Just VA05 will give list of orders where you can take from the Status updation whether it is delivered or not. But apart from that, if you need any report relating to Open orders, you need to develop a Z report which will help your company. Just ask your business user how he wants. Based on that you can decide.
Thanks and regards.

Material master table for finding out valuation category and valuation type

Hi,
I have a material XYZ for which a valuation category 'H' is assigned. Now I need to create a valuation type for that.
Question - I want to find out for the same plant & st location which are the other materials with valuation category H, and what are the valuation types used.
I checked in mara, mard, mbew etc but of no use.
Which table can i get the data ?

hi,
As the valuation details are saved and are based on the material, you can see the details of valuation type in MBEW table...and field as BWTAR
For valuation catagory, you can see the table MARC...field as BWTTY...
If want the valuation type details for both plant and storage location, you shd check the GR table ie. MSEG where you will get the valuation type ....
hope its enough to retrieve the data..

How to check valuation type and batch during creating PO

Hi All,
can every body help me please,
I have a material which manage by batch and valuation type.
When user create purchase order using that kind of material I want the system checking field batch and valuation type. If they not match then system will give an error message.
What should I do to make the system checking that fields?

Hi Ely
Fortunately, you do not need to do any coding or need to use exits.
You can configure the screen layout settings as follows:
1) SPRO->MM->Purchasing->Purchase Order-> Define screen layout at doc level
2) Double click on the key-NBF (most probably you are using this for your PO document type. If you are using any other field layout key..make changes there)
3) Double click on GR/IR control .
4) Make Valuation Type & Batch fields 'Required'.
System works intelligently here. If the material is batch managed, system expects you to enter a batch in PO. If the material has split valuation, then system also expects you to enter valuation type. FOr other materials, system does not expect you to enter batch or valuation type.

Automatic deletion batch valuation type from PO after cancellation GR

Hi, colleagues
I need your guidance.
The problem is:
We have batch management with different valuation types.(valuation type is connected to batch) In mm03 valuation category is "X".
Process:We make standart Purchase order, then MIGO where we put batch(with automatic valuation type for this batch) then we make cancellation of GR and try to make GR with another batch and valuation type. System gives mistake: m7043.
As I understand, when we made GR firstly, system have written this valuation type into PO and the following GR for this PO can be only with this valuation type.
Have you any ideas how to make automatic! deletion of valuation type from PO after cancellation? Fields batch and valuation type in PO are hidden and users must not change it in PO.
Mabe there are some notes or you can provide some other ideas?
Thanks in advance
Regards

No. In standard, if you will do GR for batch number XXX, then system will not update the same batch number in PO (neither batch field nor valuation type field).
At the time of making PO leave the batch and valuation type field as blank.
Then check. I've checked the scenario. System is allowing to do GR with other batch number.
