Batch derivation in subcontracting process

Hello experts
I ask for your help on the following point:
I subcontract packaging operation of a product managed by batch to an external vendor.
The bulk (component) I send to the vendor is also managed by batch.
I use batch derivation for transferring batch data from the bulk batch to the packed product batch.
I manage to do it with the manual batch derivation.
However I would like to create a derivation event to make automatic this process.
Is it possible to create new derivation event and associate it to "Good receipt for purchase order" event ? to the movement 101 or 543 ?
Thanks for your help
Best regards
Amaury

Batch derivation consists in transferring values of class characteristics of a sender batch to receiver batch.
This copy of results may be triggered automatically by the system during a manufacturing flow (event = good receipt on process/production order).
However I am looking forward to know if it is possible to do so at good receipt on subcontracting order ?
Thanks for your help

  • Batch Derivation on subcontract POs

    Hi all
    Has anyone used batch derivation on subcontract PO? Also does it require enhancement pack 4?
    I have a requirement where the expiry date on the finished goods on a subcontract PO should be be populated with the shortest expiry date of all its components. This should happen durng the GR

  • Automatic Batch Determination for Subcontracting Process(ME2ON)

    Dear All,
    When we are issuing the components to subcontracting vendor in ME2ON t-code, system is not picking the batch automatically like while creating delivery. In Sales for automatic batch determination they are using item category group but for subcon. order we have only delivery type.
    Is SAP will support automatic Batch determination while issue the goods through ME2ON?
    If yes kindly revert back.
    Thanks &Regards,

    Hi,
    Go to SPRO > Logistics - General > Batch Management > Batch Determination and Batch Check > Batch Search Procedure Allocation and Check Activation > Allocate IM Search Procedure/Activate Check > Here assign Batch Search Procedure "ME0001" to Movement Type 543 O
    Then go to MBC1 and maintain condition record for Strategy Type ME02 i.e. Plant and here keep selection method as "O"
    In MIGO, click on "Stock Determination" button for automatic batch determination.

  • In consistency during Batch Derivation in Process Order

    Hi,
    During Batch Derivation in process order, multiple old batches of sender material proposing even though actually only single Batch of sender material determined, and transferring the characteristic values from old batches to the Receiver material which is in-correct. (I am working with SAP ECC 6.0)
    Can any one advise if required to execute/run any program to correct the system in-consistency,
    regards,
    Purna

    Dear Pruna,
    please check if the correct level of WUL is defined in derivation rules 
    Mostly the problem is caused by default value 99 here. You can check and
    change the value in transaction DVR2.

  • Batch determination in Subcontracting order

    Hi,
    Can any one of you explain me the steps for doing batch determination for subcontracting orders. i am facing the same issue, but i dont know what steps to follow.
    our scenario is:  we do a GR against a Sub contracted PO using 101 mvt type and when i am trying to post the document, it's asking me to enter the batch for few components which are maintained as vendor consigned stock and in batches.
    is it possible to automate the process? can any body explain how to setup the customization for batch determination?
    thanks in advance,
    Kanth

    Follow the below steps.
    01. For movement type 543 "O" assign your search procedure T code : OMCG
    02. Maintain conditions record or strategy record.
    A1) Normaly we use batch determination at delivery level, because at the time of order material may or may not be created.for this material should be configured with batch and batch determination should be checked in sales views of material.
    A2) Batch Determination during order Creation.
    For this you need to maintain a Classes d for you Material. Depending on the Manufacturing process you can define the characteristics for your material.
    Ex: Purity for Medicines,  Resistance for Electric Items.
    You need to create a class (You might have to create a new class type) which incorporates the characteristic.
    First Create the Characteristic Using Ct04 and then using Cl02 create the Class  including this characteristic.
    Then in your material master Classification View Enter this class.
    Then Create a Batch for the particular plant and Stor Loc using MSC1N.Give the value of the characteristics in this batch.
    Then go to SPRO ->Logistics General ->Batch Management and maintain the Condition Technique (Procedure, Strategy Types and assignment to sales docs etc).
    Then Create the Batch Determination Record using VCH1.

  • SUBCONTRACT PROCESSING AGAINST PRODUCTION ORDER

    DEAR GURUS,
    SCENARIO - PRODUCTION ORDER HAS 10 OPERATIONS OUT OF WHICH OPERATION
    10 TO 20 - IN HOUSE
    20 TO 40 - EXTERNAL
    40 TO 50 - IN HOUSE
    60 - EXTERNAL
    70 TO 100 IN HOUSE.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE ENTIRE PROCESS WITH REGARD TO CREATION OF BOM, SUBCONTRACT PROCESS, MATERIAL MOVEMENT WITH RESPECT TO EXCISE ETC.,

    Robert,
    For the problematic order, you are having the order material which is having a different valuation class deriving the GL account/Cost Element.
    I think the problem is because, system is deriving a Cost Element(Through GL account) during GR posting and that cost element is defined to "Revenue" posting. Please change the cost element category or use a correct cost element with right category. Please work with your FICO person on this.
    I think in your case the cost element category is "11", you need to have the derivation to a cost element which is having category "1"

  • Batch Derivation

    Hi Gurus,
    We are having ECC 4.6C and we wanted to implement the batch derivation functionality. Presently I am facing one problem, it is that, as per sap, batch derivation takes place while doing the goods reciept for the process order, making the usage decision for a batch or by manually (Manual derivation).
    I made the following master data,
    1) Derivation sender record
    2) Derivation reciever record.
    But the derivation is not happening at the time of goods reciept or at the time of usage decision but it happens if i did the manual derivation.
    For your information in 4.6c , batch derivation functionality is in the hidden form i.e. there is no menu emtry for it.
    If I want derivation to happen at the time of goods reciept then what I need to do.
    Please suggest.
    Regards
    Ravi

    You may not have the config settings set for this.
    Logistics-General ---> Batch Management -->Derivation of Batch Data --> Define Derivation Events.
    In the table, make sure you have an entry for 400 - Goods receipt for process/production order.  Make sure the right search procedures are specified.
    The above is from 6.0.  Hopefully your 4.6 config is similar.

  • Batch Derivation not happening consistently

    Dear Experts,
    Pls guide me to identify and resolve the following problem:
    I have configured the batch derivation and maintained the necessary condition records.
    The derivation event is defined as the GR for Production order.
    The problem is, for certain orders the derivation is not working and giving the error as (in T Code DVMO):
    - Warning Rule "No empty sender fields" broken for attribute XXXX.
    inspite of the fact that field (XXXX) in the RM batch being already filled, still data is not getting transferred to the produced batch.
    However, the derivation is working for other production orders (around 60%).
    Where I could have missed the point.
    Kindly help me out.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rohit Chauhan.
    Added: Can there be any thing at material master level which can cause this problem, because the material is either deriving the data or failing. Both cases are not existing for any single material.
    Edited by: Rohit Chauhan on Sep 9, 2009 10:05 AM

    Did you build your batch where used list up?  Is it being update in real-time or or a regular basis via a batch job?
    Look at the dates and times of the orders that fail.  You may find they are older ones, or newer ones depending on when you built the batch where used list and how or when it is being updated.
    The other possibility is that the orders that are failing are not being properly processed.  Look at the batch where used list and see if you can trace the order information back to the batch that the results should be coming from.  If you can't see the batch in the history of the order on the batch where used list then the system can't derive the results.
    There is also setting in teh derivation record as to how many generations to go back I believe.  You may need to go further back in some cases then what you might have it set at.

  • Batch derivation without production

    Experts,
    Can we use the batch derivation functionality if no production module is active? Or do you always need such things like production and process orders?
    Thanks,
    Philippe

    You can only use batch derivation if the batch-where-used-list is updated.  If you have the correct entries needed in that, then yes.
    But usually, without, process or production orders, the batch-where-used list is not fully updated with the records needed to do the mapping.  You'll only have material movement info and that probably won't have enough info for batch derivation.

  • Batch derivation with fields in receiver search strategy Rule.

    Dear All,
    In receiver search strategy rule i wanted to give a character, but when i do so i get the below error message.
    Instead of the characteristic , use the field
    Message no. VBDRV011
    Diagnosis
    The characteristic  you entered is assigned to an object characteristic and batch field .
    System Response
    Object characteristics cannot be changed.
    You must make changes to the corresponding batch field. These are then copied automatically to the classification.
    Procedure
    Instead of using the characteristic , use the field
    Now this because in the character additinal data (TCode CT04) Value is coming from Table Name: MCHA and Field Name: CHARG.
    Hence I decided to use the field CHARG in receiver search strategy rule. But when I did so i got the following error message
    This field does not exist or is not allowed for derivation
    Message no. VBDRV009
    Please suggest as to how do i bring the filed in?
    Regards
    Vinod

    Hi Vinod,
    Batch derivation is used to transport characteristic value from one batch (Sender batch)  to another Batch of Header material  (Receiving Batch) during Production / Process Order Execution.
    Now field which you have assign CHARG is non another but it is field of batch No.itself and it is not possible to change Batch No. of Receiving Batch because it is already assign and can not be change.
    You can use only those characteristic or fields which represent the characteristic of Batch for example Shelf life expiry, manufacturing Date etc.

  • Batch determination for subcontract orders in MIGO

    Hi,
    I have a doubt. I´ve customized a batch determination strategy for Inventory Management, for movement type 543.
    When i receive a subcontract order, using transaction MIGO, the batch determination process is NOT triggered automatically, until i press button "Stock Determination".
    Is there a way to determine batches in MIGO without pressing this button? (fully automatic).
    Best regards.

    Hello Alejandro,
    Thanks for the further clarification!
    It depends on how you are processing the goods receipt in MIGO:
    .- If you post the Goods Receipt for the Subcontracting purchase order and you do not expand the components, then just flag the main item and post, an automatic batch determination for the batch component will be processed then by the system and the goods receipt will be processed.
    .- If you post the Goods Receipt for the Subcontracting purchase order and you expand the components, then, the batch field will be opened for input and the user manually will need to start the process pressing the icon for the batch determination (or also the one for the stock determination).
    I hope this helps!

  • Intercompany - Subcontracting Process

    Hi
    We have a subcontracting process where RM/PM is issued by Parent company and other company charges processing fees and sends back FG to parent company.
    So this is typically a subcontracting process in SAP where one company sends the material to vendor( 2nd company ) and vendor processes the goods for 1st company and charges processing fees. In 1st company stock will be reflected as stock with vendor and in vendor books (2nd company), this stock will be not appear.
    Both the companies are on SAP and using same client.
    Now our requirement is as under -
    1. Parent Company needs Inventory tracking which is being issued to Vendor for their materials ( because both the companies are on SAP )
    2. Vendor needs to generate an invoice for processing fees with following details:
    1. Material Produced
    2. Quantity produced
    3. Batch details
    This is legal requirement where Invoice should capture Processing charges details at the time of dispatch..
    Kindly advice how this scenario can be mapped with above details. Issues which we are facing are :
    1.     If we use simple sub contracting process, material tracking is not possible in Parent Company
    2.     When material is issued to Vendor (Company Code 2), How to receive/dispatch FG material in Vendor so that complete processing in PP can be mapped. 
    thanks,
    Manoj

    There is no restrication that Automatic PO will not be created if the PR is created from the Sales Order.
    Please elobarate on the exact error you are getting.
    However please follow & check if these general settings are in place.
    1.Material has the auto PO checked in Material Master.
    2. Vendor has the Auto PO checked in Vendor Master.
    3.Source list is maintained if material master has source list checked.
    4.Valid conditions exist in the Sub Contracting info record.
    5.Right variant ex - doctype,Plant etc exist or are entered in ME59N.
