Last GR date information if the material is not batch managed

Hi Gurus,
Is there a way to extract the Last GR date if the material is not batch managed?
Thanks.

Hi,
Goto SE16N, enter table EKBE, deselect all the fields, select EBELN, BELNR, BEWTP (give value in this field as E) & BLDAT.
In the field EBELN give your puchasing document numbers.
Now you can get the required erport

How to Handle Batch Managed materials in AII

Hi,
We are trying out various scenarios with AII one of then including how does AII handle Batch Managed materials. While creating a delivery we provide Batch information, but this is not going to AII, as AII is only interested in EPC codes, quantity and UOM.
We are able to successfully get tags into AII but the delivery IDOC fails to post in the ERP system cause it is expecting BATCH information.
Would appreciate any ideas on the same, we have tried posting the BATCH_ID in the PML document header as well as at the TAG level but have not been successful so far, Are we missing some steps?
- Aniruddha

Hi Aniruddha,
AII does not support the extension fields ( like BATCH_ID) directly from UI ie. mobile or Auto ID Cockpit
Incase you are testing through Auto Id Test Tool, you can assign these fields under tags data list in Tags tab.
The way of passing these fileds from auto id test tool is to select the EPC being passed and add the field BATCH_ID under tag data list. This will add the extension field to the XML being sent to XI.
As far as sending it through UI is concerned then development option has to be explored. For mobile UI, you can think of creating a user data profile and add such fields to the rule being processed. You can refer to way SAP has defined Z_CON_FIELDS element set in the config guides.
I hope this should help you in finding a solution to your problem.

Split valuation with batch management and project stock

Dear Gurus,
I need to combine two following requirements:
1. split valuation with batch management (valuation type = batch number)
2. project stock
These two functionalities work fine separately but not together.
I receipt PO for material with spiit valuation on a batch level into a project stock. Posting is OK and material document (MSEG table) seems to be OK (batch number, valuation type and project stock are in this table). The problem appears when I want to display material in this valuation type (MM03) or batch (MSC3n). They don't exist!!! Short investigation showed that during goods receipt table MBEW (valuated stock) was not updated with this valuation type.
But If PO is receipt into normal stock first and then posted into project stock everything is OK.
Have you had or heart about such issue? I would appreciate any sugestion.
Thsnks in advance.
Marcin Bernat

Hi,
As you already know ,u are using project stock and doing goods receipt against project, stock table QBEW will be updated and not MBEW. MBEW only updates in case of plant stock valuation. If u receive any goods against project stock it does not contribute to plant stock. Irrespective whether your material is managed in split valuation or not, If it is received against project stock it only updates QBEW. There is no need to update MBEW, if u r using split valuation in project. QBEW also have valuation type as another level like MBEW. If u want to see material price for project stock, it can be seen in QBEW -valuation type and not in mm03.
As u r receiving goods against project stock this is d only reason QBEW is updated and not MBEW.
QBEW will store all information like MBEW for batch number, valuation type and project stock assignment.
Hope it answers your question.

Batch management and returns

Hi we are a soft drink manufacturer, we have batch management for raw materials but also need it for finished goods. OK so no problem works well so far. However we do send out trucks with product on board, those truck may not sell all of the product on the truck that day so we need to bring partial pallets / batches back to the warehouse. In SAP how do we do the batch management on partial pallets or batches. It is not convenient to create a new batch for one case of soft drinks or maintain an existing batch for one case. Anyone have any thoughts on how to manage this process?
Looking forward to reading your thoughts on this.
Regards,

Hi Mario, I've been reading up on documentary batches and a few questions if you are able to answer.
The information say
You can enter document batches in the following process steps:
u2022 Goods receipt for external procurement
u2022 Goods receipt for subcontracting
u2022 Goods issue for subcontracting
u2022 Goods receipt from production
u2022 Goods issue to production
u2022 Picking delivery to customer
Doesn't mention bringing the product back into stock .... is this supported
And
No functions in batch status management (in other words, no stock postings take place when the batch status changes
So will docuementary batches support my scenario where product is loaded onto a truck partially sold then returned to warehouse to be loaded again the next day?
Can you hightlight the steps to complete this process if possible?
Thanks

There is no standard report for your requiremet, go for ABAP development.

Batch management report

Hi Experts,
Is there any report in batch management to get a detailed listing of inventory(finished goods) by batch with all characteristic values info included?
Best Regards
CS

Hi Tejas,
Thanks for your reply, i have tried with BMBC, I am able to get inventory with plant and batch number but my requirement is with characteristic values.
In BMBC am not able to see characteristics values for batch, is there any way to see inventory report with material, batch and characteristics value information.

Batch Management cannot be activated

Hi,
Its just not another Batch management activation issue. I read through the earlier posts without much help.
I'm creating a 'New' material and after entering all information in MM01. When I tick 'Batch Management Indicator' in either purchasing or plant/storage view, I get display error which reads 'Batch management may not be defined for value only materials'.
The material type used is spare parts and in OMS2 it uses both Quantity/Value updating. Valuation category is blank in accounting view. The material type is not semi-finished or finished goods. I have checked all the batch management config in Logistics general-->batch management and it appears fine.
What can be the possible reasons for the error?
Regards,
M B

Hi MB,
Its a simple Logic that if the material stocks aren't quantity updated how can you have stocks for the materials? No stocks No batch. If you have configured wrongly for value only then change the same in OMS2.

Goods Issue from ECP with Batch Management

Hi experts,
I would like to make a Goods Issue from Execution Services in Easy Cost Planning. But the material has Batch Management active and I am not able to inform the batch.
I know I can make the same movement from MB1B but I would like to do it from the Easy Cost Planning environment.
Is it possible?
Thanks

We already have the batch and deactivating batch management has no sense.
> We need to be able to inform the batch when we are making the goods issue from the Execution Services.
Dear,
I think you can solve this through your Characteristics in the Costing Model. In the Characteristic Edit Screen, Goto Values tab, Select your material and click on Object Dependecies Button, see if you can use or create a new Dependency for your material for picking or suggesting batch number.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Batch managment PLD

Hi experts,
I have an problem in PLD of batch mangement.
i am using batch management for my items.but we used batch management at time GRPO & sales delivery .it give two print out for that i.e. one for GRPO OR Delivery and 2nd one is for batch management.
my client does not want it in two deffrenet pages .that print must on only one page.
Is it possiable to this one page and how .Please asap

How many maximum batches would there be for one line item. The one I had created was for a customer who will have a maximum of 2 batches, so I had created 2 UDF at the document row level and updated them using the SBO_SP_TransactionNotification Stored Procedure.
In you case if you have mutiple batches then adding them to one UDF field seperated by a comma or space would be a best approach.
What information are you looking from me. Are you expecting the complete code..???

PP-PI - Process message processing and batch management in PI_CONS message

Hi All,
Hope you can help me to find the better solution... I will try to explain my scenario
Scenario: to control the production run PP-PI module is in use. Process order are created in SAP system and then transferred to the process control system where the execution of the process order is controlled On-line. Once per month the confirmations are transferred from this control system to SAP. In the Process control system batch are not managed. For good issue posting standard process message PI_CONS is used.
Now we have the situation that some raw materials used for process order processing are managed with batch. During the process order creation the batch related with this raw materials can be determined, only during the month when the raw material is entered in the plant is where the batch is determined. At the end of the month the batch of this materials is available in the SAP system (not in the process control system). Due to behavior of PI_CONS regarding batch if this characteristic is not informed in the process message or in the reservation an issue is trigger.My doubts are:
1.- If I need inform the batch during this confirmation ,an even split the quantities in the process message according the batch availability, I'm force to use a custom process message or there is other workaround? (remember is not feasible send the batch to the process control system)
2.- probably i miss something because I'm can't debug the execution of the process message. How can I debug the execution of a manually created process message?
Sorry for the long explanation I try to explain my scenario as better as possible.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

Thanks for your replay.
No really I don't like to make the batch mandatory, during the good issue is not feasible inform the batch due to it is not managed in the Process Control System. Due to the behavior of PI_CONS if for batch managed materials the batch is not informed in the message or in the reservation an error is trigger. In the reservation snot feasible inform the batch because in that moment is unknown.
My question is if it is feasible some how have like FIFO batch determination when the process message is processed without creating a custom message.
Thanks in advance

Material maintained in split valuation and batch management

Dear Seniors,
I have maintained a material with both split valuation and batch management. If i check in MMBE, only batch management is getting preference. Valuation type is not coming. Why is it so ? why maintaining both is not possible in SAP ??? kindly explain me please.
Regards,
JanaMM

If you Mantain both Split valuation as well as batch mgmt for a material, then all stock reports will show "Batch " and Not valuation type since batch is relevant to inventory mgmt and split valuation is relevant for account determination and valuation. , the only report which wil show you both is BMBC(batch info cockpit).
You can however run MB5B w.r.t valuation type in the input screen.
In such cases , The Valuation Type forms a part of the batch master which you can see in MSC3N .

PIR's and batch management issue, can this be solved in APO ?

Hi All,
I've an issue. I honestly dont know where I can get a solution for that and thats why i will post it in mm and also pp forum.
Here is my issue.
All materials are batch managed. Each and every customer can get only certain batches and not all batches meet the requirement of a customer. Lets say I have 3 plants (plant 1, plant 2 and plant 3) and I have 3 customers ( cust1, cust2 and cust3). Lets say I get a demand for material and I create PIR's in plant 1. when I run MRP, it will generate planned orders. I convert that into purchase req and then into STO for plant 2. when plant 2 doesn't have the raw material to process into semi finished, I will create and sto from plant 2 to plant 3 to get the raw material. The reason we create sto to plant 2 initially is because it has to process something before it sends it to plant 1. so the link is from customer 1 --> plant 1 (finished goods) -- > plant 2 (semi finished) --> plant 3 (raw material).
Right from raw material it is specific to a customer. i.e. not all raw material batches from plant 3 will be accepted by customer 1.
so when the demand flows from customer 1 to plant 2, is there anywhere that I can keep track of for which customer that order is going and select raw materials based on the end customer ?
Can this be solved in APO ?

Hi sapcrs,
Your requirement is meet the solution of configuration of the following scenario.
customer 1 --> plant 1 (finished goods) -- > plant 2 (semi finished) --> plant 3 (raw material).
The conditions are
a) Raw material is batch managed
b) Keep track of order flow
Solution:-
1) Maintain raw material as batch managed in R/3. Suitably class and characterisitics to be developed to send the information to APO as that the RM is batch managed.
2) The Bom of semi-fnished item at plant-2 to be maintained with raw material. The source of supply has to be linked with plant-3. The RM will be externally procured from plant-3 for plant-2 which is batch specific. The Bom item will be send to APO as PPM which contain all bom and routing details.
3) Now once RM is ready at Plant-3, it will be sourced to plant-2 and at plant-2, semi-fnished item will be made with the production orders triggered from bom & routing data at plant-2
4) Now semi-finished item is ready at plant-2. Once it is ready, it has to be sent to plant-1 for mfg FG. This can be achieved by creating lane between plant-1 and plant-2.
5) Through lane, semifinished item reaches plant-1 which is made at plant-2 which contains RM made at plant-3 which is batch specific.
6) Using semifinished item, Finished product can be made at plant-1
7) Now your final requirement is to track all order flow changes. This can be achieved by mechanism in APO called pegging. Using pegging, the order flow can be tracked right from FG to RM.

Also even though I maintain some information in text field in STO, when I run mrp at the supplying location for other plant, it will not pick anything up in planned order. how can we make it pick up automatically
I have no idea on VC, can I do anything with VC for this
or is there anyway that I can link together through enhancements, custom development, z tables for this
please

Hi,
My suggestions:
1.
Check MARC-SBDKZ on MRP 4 view of material master.
If you are in MTO environment and you use "1" in this field (in plant2&3), then plant2&3 will procure the goods into SO special stock and customer can be seen in MD04 under supplying plants.
2.
