Batch at semi finish level or bulk material

My client is manufacturing toothpaste, the scenario is, they have 5 products with multiple change overs they manufacture different batches of tooth paste than store them in a storage tank. the batch management could be difficult as the are not storing the different batches seperately they are storing it in a same storage tank and then they pack it. they have strict standards to be followed and no bom change occure during manufacturing.
My questions are,
1. if i use batch on semifinish level obviously it can not bifercate them as the are storing it on an storage tank, could i treet semi finish as bulk material with out any batch number?
2. they are asking for tracebility as welll how this could be possible when the are mixing it by them self in a storage tank?
Kindly reply with ideas also points are guranted...........

  • Difference between Bom of semi-finished goods & f/g material master

    Dear all,
    What is the    Difference between Bom of semi-finished goods & f/g material master ?
    Just I don't know wt r we maintained in s/f  BoM ?
    Regards,
    sahoo

    There is no difference  in SFg and FG Material master. some time Straegy group will differ.
    FOR BOM
    create a seperate Bom For SFG anf FG
    In SFG BOM - maintain what are the materials required to make the FG in Compnent and the quantity.
    In FG BOM- maintain SFG material as component and give the quantity, item category and other raw material or SFG

  • List of Material in BOM excluding semi finished goods or any material type

    We want to take out the list of components used in BOM or can we exclude any material type while displaying BOM.
    Is there any TCODE available for this?
    thanks
    harish

    Hello Harish,
    I think this is possible from user specific settings OS29. You can select the "sub assemblies""if the BOM contains sub-assembly A-A as a component. The components of this sub-assembly are K-1 and K-2.
    If you set this indicator, the summarized BOM shows the data of sub-assembly A-A and its components K-1 and K-2.
    If you do notset this indicator, only components K-1 and K-2 are shown.
    If helpful rewards your points.

  • MIC's of finished product should get transferred to Semi-finished product

    Hi all,
    I have the following requirement
    Based on the Customer requirement, sales order will be created. Two line items will be created in the sales order.
    First item: 100kg
    Second item: 5 kg (this will be the sample to be sent to the customer for approval)
    first item and second item will have different material codes.
    Now the process order will be created,released and confirmed. 04 inspection type will be activated for the material.
    The MIC's of the finished product ( A) should get transferred to the semi-finished product (A1)
    For X customer the MIC's for finished product (A) is a1, a2 and a3 and same should get transferred to semi finished product (A1 )
    For Y customer the MIC's for finished product (B) is b1, b2 and b3 and same should get transferred to semi finished product (A1 )
    The material code for the finished product will be different, but the semi-finished product (A1) will be same always.
    When ever inspection lot gets generated the MIC's of the finished material should get transferred to semi finished product
    Kindly provide your valuable inputs to address this scenario
    Regards
    Hari

    I think I understand what you are attempting to do.  The bottom line is that you are trying to use one material number to serve as the "sample material" for all your products.  Lets call the sample material mrtrl# 9000122.
    You have a make to order process so you first create a process order for the product and inspect it according to the customer's requirements.  You make the UD.
    Now when you make product A, you want those characteristic MIC values to copy to the sample material 9000122 inspection lot which is created from a separate process order using product A as the raw material.
    When you make product B, you want those MIC charcteristic values to copy to the same sample material 9000122  to an inspection lot created from a separate process order using product B as the raw material.
    I am guessing the intent is to keep the batch number the same between the FERT product batch number and the sample material.
    I would like to suggest to you two other alternatives which I'm not sure will work for your design but I think it is worth a try and might save some work. 
    1)  Have you looked at setting up your sample product as a by-product of the first process order?  You can confirm the finished qty and the sample qty from the same original process order.  This will then create your two 04 inspection lots.  You would recrod results on the first primary product. Then enter results recording and I think you'll be able to have that set up to copy over the resutls from the primary product.  If you can't with the standard SAP, I beleive you'll find the ability in copy inspection results to add your own custom FM that would do the copy for you that you are looking for.
    Of course the inspection plan for the by-product sample will have to have all the characteristics in the plan that could ever be expected from any primary product using this process.
    2) The other possibility would be to just have the person making the UD on the primary inspection products inspection lot, to post a sample qty "to other quantity".  They would always of course post to the sample material.  If the characteristics in the lot match up to general characteristics in the batch class for the sample, the resutls will be transferred to the batch.  Report your sample reuslts from the batch record and the specs from the inspection lot in the COA.

  • Production for semi finished material

    Dear gurus,
       i had a scenario where semi finished material is combination of different batches,for production of semi finished material i had 6 operations in  which  up to 3rd operation i have 3 production lines in which each batch in the line is identified by different batch no and in 4th operation all batches are mixed and if new batch is coming into 4th operation the material which is already in 4th operation enters 5th&6th  operation continously for semi finished material  and enters remaining operations for finished material production .semifinished material is not stored in any place it is continously flow from 6th operation which is semi finished material  to another operation which is used for producing finished material.
      suppose for week i require 100 m3 of finished material , and for each batch i can produce 2 m3 in each production line ,i require 50 batches for week .the production is continous .
    can i follow by creating 50 production orders each of different batch ,by creating semi finished material in 4th operation , can any one please suggest .
    Thanks

    Hi Jitendra,
    Checking Control (OPJJ) has no relation with MRP.It is useful in the case of Plan and Production / Process Order only to find out Missing part.
    Now come to MRP again.
    You have a choice of only 3 type of stocks to include or exclude them during MRP run while rest of the things like (PO,PR,Reservation etc are consider by default)
    Go to OPPQ and after selecting Plant go to Available Stock.You will find that options,
    - Stock in Transfer
    - Block Stock
    - Restricted Stock.
    And one more thing Reservation is not a available stock but its one kind requirement and if there is no stock then system will activate the Planning file entry and during next MRP run it will generate Planning proposal also.

  • Serial Number Error in YMFBF confirmation for semi-finished material.

    Dear Experts,
    We are having repetitive manufacturing scenario,while confirming the Semi-finished material ( X) in YMFBF Screen, after POST with Correction and Saving the Confirmation. Error Applied....
    "Only the 0 serial numbers entered instead of 1.
    Message no. IO304
    Diagnosis
    There is a serial number obligation, so the number of serial numbers must equal the number of serial numbers in the material document.
    You can post the operation only if you entered the correct number of serial numbers previously.
    System Response
    Depending on the context in which the error arises, the system continues processing, or the required function cannot be performed.
    Procedure
    You have the following options, for example:
    Check that the serial numbers are entered fully.
    If necessary, display an error log.
    If necessary, contact your system administrator.
    Please give some solution for this,
    Thanks,

  • Raw material to semi finished

    There is a client requirement that they purchase a material as a raw material.
    After some time they will go for subcontracting of this item. In that case material type will be Semi finished.
    There may be N no of such materials.
    How will I solve this problem.
    Regrads & thanks
    -Bansal

    Hi,
    To add to Lekhram's good advice.
    If the material that has been subcontracted is different in any way to the material before this process then they should be different material master records.
    The material type is not as important as you would think, as long as the correct views are available, the correct combination of internal and external POs have been set and the correct valuation classes are on the accounting view then it shouldn't matter too much about which material type is used. But RAW for the component material and HALB for the finished item would be sensible.
    But in a fully correct process you would raise the subcontract PO for the finished item and send your raw material to the subcontractor and then receive back the finished item (MIGO). (Using ME2o or similar to manage the sending of the raw material to the vendor)

  • Extending the Material from FG Material to Semi Finished good.

    Dear All,
    I am doing the STO (INTRA COMPANY) from plant 1 to Plant 2 for FG
    While receiving the material in plant 2, I have to take as Semi finished good (SFG).
    Is it possible? Bcz the Material Type is FG in Plant 1, so we can't change Valuation class of the Material while extending in Plant as SFG. How can I achieve this with same Material code?
    While selling the same Material from Plant 2, I will add some part and I will it as a FG.
    Please guide me.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ramu

    Hi Sudhir,
    Thanks for your reply.
    But my requirement is in Plant the Material type should be FERT(FG) and while extending the same material in Plant 2, the Material Type sholud change to HALB(Semi finished).
    As per ur answer I can change the Material Type for the Material in bith the Plants.
    Plz guide me.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • About the effect for batch level conversion from material to plant level

    Dears,
    Now  we use batch management at material level in our system, now we want to change to batch level from material level to plant level, what effects or risks it will bring during the process of conversion?
    Thanks a lot
    Zhongkai

    Hi
    check the following SAP help link it is very helpful:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/es/d2/1d4b6e5733d1118b3f0060b03ca329/content.htm
    at the link you can find the following
    Specify batch level and activate status management
    In this IMG activity, you specify the following:
    the level at which batch numbers are unique
    whether batch status management is active in the client
    the plants in which batch status management is active
    the initial status of new batches
    Batch level
    Batch numbers can be unique at the following levels:
    at plant level
    at material level
    at client level for a material
    If you choose plant level, the batch number is unique in conjunction with the respective material and the plant. If you choose material level, the batch number is unique together with the material. At client level, the batch number is unique in the whole client.
    To change the batch level, you have to start a conversion program. This program first checks whether conversion is possible and outputs an error log containing all batch numbers that occur more than once at the new level. Now you need to manually transfer these batch records to numbers within Inventory Management using a transfer posting 'material to material'.
    If you change the level from plant level to a higher level, it is possible that batches with the same batch numbers in different plants are actually identical. In this case, all you have to do is remove stocks (including previous period stocks) so that all batches with the same batch numbers, except one, can be reorganized.
    When you convert from plant level to material level, the material is then to be handled in batches in all plants in which it is defined.
    Standard settings
    In the standard R/3 System, batches are unique at plant level.
    Activities
    To change the batch level, proceed as follows:
          1. Choose the level at which you want your batches to be unique.
          2. Save the new settings and choose Back.
          3. Select function Batch level -> Conversion.
          4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
    Further notes
    Note that you cannot reset conversion from plant level to a higher level in the standard.
    If you create a client by copying an existing client, initially, there are no settings in the target client at batch level. The system makes the settings in the target client only when you have carried out an activity (maintaining master data or posting a goods movement, for example).
    SETTINGS BEFORE/AFTER CLIENT COPY:
    Source client Target client
    Client level Material level
    Material level Material level
    Plant level Plant level
    Batch status management
    Batch status management is an additional function provided by the standard R/3 System.
    Standard settings
    Batch status management is not active in the standard R/3 system.
    Activities
    To activate batch status management, proceed as follows:
          1. Choose Batch status management active.
          2. Save the new setting and choose Back.
          3. Choose Batch status management -> conversion.
          4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
    Further notes
    Batch status management is linked to the batch level. At material and at plant level, the status management settings are valid within the client, that is for all plants. However, if you have defined batches to be unique at plant level, you have to select the plants in which status management is to be active using function Plants with status management.
    If you activate status management, all existing batches are assigned status 'unrestricted'. If you deactivate status management, the systems transfers all restricted batches to unrestricted stock within conversion. Restricted stock only exists if status management is active.
    If you create a client by copying an existing client, status management is automatically activated if batches exist in the target client, independent of the settings in the source client. If no batches exist in the target client, it is not activated. In this case, you have to activate or deactivate status management manually, if required.
    Plants with batch status management
    Activities
    To select the plants in which status management is to be active, proceed as follows:
          1. Set characteristic Batch status management for those plants in which batch status management is to be active.
          2. Save your settings and choose function Back.
          3. Choose function Batch status management -> conversion
          4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
    Initial status of a new batch
    Using this function, you can specify for each material type which initial status new batches are to be assigned. However, if you use a quality management system, this specifies the status of the batches.
    Hope it will help
    Best Regards

  • Serial number status of semi finished material.

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a serialized finished product.
    I have a serialized semi finished material as a component of that finished product.
    After issuing the semifinished to the production order of the finished product, the serial number status of the semifinished item becomes AVL.
    I dont want the semifinished serial number to be reused once it is issued to a production order and the finished material from that production order is delivered .
    Help me in acheiving this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Gowrisankar.p

    Hi Gowri Shankar,
    You should maintain a User Status Profile for the Serial Number Profile, (Through Equipment Category).
    Once the Semi finished Material with a particular Serial Number is Issued for a production order. The status should change to Say " Used". Then this Serial Number cannot be assigned again to a new Semifinished Goods.
    User Status profile should be defined in transaction BS02.
    Thanks And Regards,

  • Advice to create a material type (Semi finished, finished or spare parts)

    Hello all!
    I am facing a big problem to how to create a material type ?
    In my case, this material (engine) is finished good in one plant (let's say 100) and in the same time it's considered as Semi finished good in another plant (200 for example) and we can also sell it as spare parts (plant 200).
    So, i don't know if i will created as finished good or semi finished or spare parts in MM01 transaction? What do you think?

    Lamine,
    Creating an material with type as Semifinsihed and Extending sales view to the article will solve your problem.. Also according to your scenario, i hope you are using SPK for transfer of SEMI FInished Goods from  Plant 100 to Plant 200. If this is there in the MRP view. you will not have any problem in this scenario. You can directly sale from Plant 100 and During MRP run for Plant 200 the material will be used in Plant 200 as Semifinished. Also as Sales view is extended in Plant 200 you can also sell it as Spare parts.

  • Sale of semi-finished material

    hi All,
    How to sell a packing material, semi-finished material, scrap material in SD.
    is there any specialized procedure to do the same.
    Regards,
    Pavan

    Hi
    You have to decide how to set the process.
    If you want to sell it differently than the other product,then first start with creating a new order type.
    Then create a new pricing procidure if you feel your existing pricing procedure will not fullfill them.
    You have to treat it as a whole new process.
