Batch level settings conversion from plant-to-plant to material-level

If someone has worked on conversion of Batch level settings within SAP from plant-to-plant to material-level batch management, please let me know what are the challenges involved in doing this. Thanks.

Check help !!!
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 batch 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 delivery batches are uniquely defined at material 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. Choose 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). The client level is not transported. If you copy a client with client level, you have to manually set the client level in the target system.

    Hi
    check the following SAP help link it is very helpful:

    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.

    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

  • Changing Batch Level from Material Level to Plant Level.

    I want to create the batch class with the class code 22 instead of 23. As the batch class is maintained at the Material Level, not at the Plant Level. So is it possible to change the batch class from Material to Plant Level and create batch class with code 22.
    Kindly suggest.

    Hi, Thanks for ur reply.
    I have applied SAP notes and changed the batch status from material level to plant level...But still i am getting the class type as 23.
    What are the next steps to be done. Currently in OMCT, Batch Level Conversion tab is active and rest all the tabs are in inactive state. so please guide.

  • Does Adobe offer an app to perform a batch conversion from Canon CR.2 raw files to TIFF files?

    Apply Adobe Photoshop to astrophotography requires numerous images to be converted from a raw CR.2 file to TIFF files. Does Adobe offer an app to perform a batch conversion from Canon CR.2 raw files to TIFF files?
    Thanks.

    Note the option to open the first file and apply settings.
    Personally, I'd be nervous of batch processing RAW files because they can need significantly different treatments file to file, but it is doable.  I would assume that Image Processor would allow the XML sidecar files, so you would have the option of looking through and fine tuning any files that were not up to scratch.
    You do not need to use that option.   There are two other options.   If the RAW file has never been process by ACR then ACR would use your defaults for the cameras used no ACR dialog UI will display.  If the RAW file has been process by ACR there are ACR settings either in you ACR database or in your RAW files sidecar files in the same folder as the raw file these will be used.
    I will often use the Bridge to process groups of RAW image files that look like they have similar exposures looking at the thumbnails the bridge displays.  ACR will open for the group of RAW files.  I will process one RAW file and sync the settings to the other image in the group.   I may also  make other ACR setting for some in the group like crops or spot healing for dust that may be in some sykes  because my sensor needed cleaning. When I'm done all I do is click on the DONE button in ACR so it will save out ACR setting for all the raw files in the group.  No image files are saved.   When I use the image processor script I never use the open first RAW option and the Automate Image Processor Pro plug-in script does not have that option open first RAW  in ACR and use the setting set for all other RAW files..

  • Excise invoice for Stock Transfer from Mfg. Plant to excisable Depot

    Hi Experts,
    Which tcode (j1iin or j1is) should be used for creating excise invoice in mfg. plant for transfer the goods to exciseable depot and why.
    And if we procure the material in mfg. plant and transferring the procured material to excisable depot then how can we map or assign incoming excise invoice to outgoing excise invoice so that same duty can be transferred.
    Thanks in advance and points on satisfying answers.
    Kuldeep Dahiya
    Edited by: Kuldeep Dahiya on Jul 4, 2008 4:41 PM

    Hi There
    we will be using J1IIN for the transfer for the simple reason that you cannot move the goods from the manuefacturing plant without paying the excise duty.
    regarding your second query I am unable to understand your exact requirement but as per my understanding you will do the good receipt and CENVAT will be credited and outgoing or stock transfer will happen as the regular process afterwards by debiting the excise duty from the CENVAT account
    Hope this will help

    Hi Mahantesh ,
    Try this:
    Take two more KFs in the cube.
    1) Creation Date as KF
    Type: Date
    Exception aggregation : First value
    Aggregation reference : 0material.
    2) Issue Date as KF
    Type: Date
    Exception aggregation : Last value
    Aggregation reference : 0material.
    In the query take 0material in rows and above 2 KF in the columns (May be , here , you need restriction also. 'Creation Date as Characterstic' > 01.01.1000 ,Issue Date as characterstic' < 31.12.9999 )

  • 2 levels of STO b/w 3 plants

    Dear consultants,
    My client has 3 plants (0001 as Sales Plant, 0002 as distribution center, 0003 as production plant)
    And we need to implement the following scenario:
    1) In sales plant will create sales orders and run MRP to create purchase requisition and convert to STOs to be supplied from distribution center plant
    2) Distribution center plant will receive STOs coming from sales plant and run MRP to create PR then convert it to STOs to be supplied from production plant.
    **Do you think this scenario is applicable through using special procurement type as the following?
    1- In sales plant (material master) assign (special procurement type = supply from alternative plant which is distribution center)
    2- In distribution center plant (material master) assign (special procurement type = supply from alternative plant which is production plant)

    Hi
    Greetings !
    The process suggested by you will meet the requirement with the special procurement key.
    You should also have source list maintained for the material- plant with the supplying plant assigned , made Relevant for MRP to create PR.
    In order to enabling shipping from the supplying plants, ensure the supplying plants are created as customer and shipping conditions are maintained.

    continuing my issue is it possible to that we donot have to change the gbb and vbr and still we can have the desired results.
    that is we are able to use different gl for debit while doing goods issue from a single stocked material
    or we want to have this result
    1.          repairs to p&m    1000    dr
                         stock of cement  a/c           1000    cr
    2.          repairs  to building    2000   dr

    3.             construction     3500     dr
                                 stock  of cement     3500     cr
    we donot want to change the GBB and VBR every time    or change the GL a/c while doing reservation.
    is there any third option where we get the desired result without changing or entering the g/l manually
    if there is please let me know the t.codes
