Batch Management. All or Nothing?

Hi All
We have just added a new warehouse to one of our existing plants taking us up to four
Plant A     Warehouse 1
Plant B     Warehouse 2
Plant C     Warehouse 3
Plant D     Warehouse 4
Can I activate batch management in Warehouse 4 only? Or do i have to activate it in all warehouses?
Material will me moving from W4 to W1,2,3 using planned stock transport orders. Will this work if W1,2,3 do not have batch management?
Thanks in advance
Darren

batch mangement can be activated at client level, material level or plant level only. WM has to follow this setup as you cannot setup batch managment at WM level.
As you cannot easily remove batch managment from a material and you cannot really switch back and forth between batch levels, you should really seriously think about the batch level.
if you choose plant level, then it is possible to manage the same material in one plant with batches while you do it without batches in other plants.
if this is really the case with you, then plant level is the only way.
But usually the requirment if a material is managed in batch or not, is not really dependend on a plant. Many companies regret their initial decision to go with plant level and spent many thousand $ to change it to a different level later.

All pruchased materials to batch management

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody please throw some light on the following scenario. The business is proposing to batch manage all the materials that we buy. What are the implications that we will be facing by going this way? What technicaltities that i need to be aware of from the System perspective so that i can explain all the pros and cons of doing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Anusha

always keep in mind that it is not easy to activate batch management for materials that are already in use, and it is even more difficult to impossible to switch it off again, if you change your mind.
Batch management is an additional level to manage stocks, so it brings complexity in your system and is so an area to make some more errors.If you are already batch managment, then using BM for all purchased materials will not be a big challenge.
However, activation of BM for materials that are in use (stocks, open POs, etc) is quite challenging, as you must not have any stock in current and previous period to be able to activate BM. for details see OSS note 30656.
The more complex your business is, the more complex it becomes for this activation. Eg. if you are using vendor consignment, split valuation warehouse managment.
If you have to activate a lot materials, then SAP offers reports to do it despite of open documents and stock, but this costs extra money. there are OSS notes about this.

Batch management with transactions

Dear Gurus,
My user has a material which has last transaction in May-2014 and wants to activate the batch management.
I know the total stock and total value have to be removed by any means before activating the BM.
My question is: Whether my work-around will have any bad consequence that you can think of?
My work-around:
As said, last trx is in May-2014. After that all stock/value are cleared.
1. mmpv, change period to July-2014 (with some trick on escaping date check)
2. activate the batch management
3. mmrv - check "allow post to previous period (June-2014)
So that user can continue to post in June (no need to wait a full month)

1. Yes. Its the most sensitive work for a MM consultant. The main caution is that, if you open a posting period, its not a easy job to re-open the previous period (You may have to contact SAP for that).
2. Right. the period is not stored anywhere in table. Only posting date is stored in various table.
3. See, SAP allows only 2 months for posting a Material document number.
Normally When you open a period from MMPV, then the current period will open.
Now if you missed some to post a document in previous month, then SAP has given the option, that you can only post on previous month.
Now as per your requirement.
If you open the period July, then you can only post any document in July and previous month as June.
You will never can't able to post any document in month May.
As it is not 6th June, in meantime, if your organization want to post a document in May, then what can you do?
You can do nothing because you can reopen the month May. Forcefully you have top post the document in June month.
To avoid this, I have said take a proper document to open posting period in advance. It will be much better for you.

Material master - batch management not consistence with mara-xchpf

Dear Experts:
We have a problem that the user created a new material and only created Basic Data/Accounting/Costing View, inside these views there is no "check field" about "Batch management" but in table both of MARA / MARC the field XCHPF has value 'X' (checked).
in our system, there are 2 material no. has the same situation.
My question is why and how the field "batch management" has been checked and how can we remove it if there is no stocks, no open Doc and no any other transaction??
Thanks a lot.
SAP ECC 6.0

Hi Jürgen L.
Thanks again.
The problem is that we can't change the field "batch management", the material no. we have DOES NOT have Batch No., NO stock, the only docments we have are one PR and one PO, and all of them has the status deleted.
And I had tried to created a new material no. in our QAS, what we did to this new material no. is:
1. Use MM01 to created "Basic data 1" view refer to a "batch management" Material no. - Only Basic data 1 view and click save, nothing else.
2. Use MM01 again to create "General Plant data/Storage 1" view, but the field "Batch Management" is checked and unchangeable, I think this is not reasonable, and I dont know is there any other way I can change "batch management".
thanks.
Last update :
The issue is resolved:
2. Use MM01 again to create "General Plant data/Storage 1" view ,( the field "Batch Management" is checked and unchangeable), save material no.
3. Use MM02 to change "Batch management", now the field "batch management" is changeable.
Thanks you all

FileAdapter to JaxRpc web service, all or nothing

I've managed to use the File Adapter to read batch files (both positional and delimited) and for each record invoke a synchronous Web Service exposed by my J2EE app to update that application with my data. Now I would like to do the same thing, but have the entire system reject/rollback all updates from an inbound file if ANY of the records encounter errors (either during the reading/transformation or during the WS call).
Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about doing it? FWIW the application is using OC4J,TopLink,Struts,Spring,Axis. The web services in question have been created specifically for this purpose, so can be modified if required.
Thanks,
Richard

I discussed with Dev Group on this feature. Here is the response below.
Yes, "all or nothing" was the old default behavior. We introduced a notion of "uniqueDelimiter" in order to have "reject only bad records" functionality. Richard should just be able to remove the "uniqueDelimiter" in his nxsd file to revert to "all or nothing" functionality. Otherwise please ask him for his nxsd file and we can take a look.
if you need further details, please send your requirement to [email protected]

How to Implement the Screen As of Batch Management

Hello Everyone,
I want to implement a screen having functionality similar to Batch Management, at "Add" Button another screen popups having two gridviews in First there would be Items and in Second their would be Serial Numbers as defined in Item Master Data.
The same Functionality for multiple items, like in case of two items when we select first item from GridView1 it gives area in Gridview2 to add data and when we select Item2 it refresh the gridview2 to add the data in gridview2, but again when I select first Item in GridView1 it gives the same data that I added before.
and in the end on update button all the data save in a table or two.
How can I do that??
Thanks in advance,
Idrees

Hi Idrees,
You need two grids and at least 3 datatable.
Grid 1 bound to DataTable 1 - This will list all the Items, nothing special about this one.
Grid 2 bound to DataTable 2 - This will list selected batch for current selected Item in Grid 1.
DataTable3 - This will hold all the selected batches for all the items in Grid 1.
Now you need to refresh DataTable 2 based on the Selected item in DataTable 1.
When the user click on a row in DataTable 1, you need to do 2 things :
1. Read all the records of DataTable 2 and sync it to DataTable 3.
2. Read all the records of DataTable 3 where the Item Code belongs to the Item selected in Grid 1 populate it into DataTable2.
Tedious, but will do the job.
When the user click Add/Update button, write the records of DataTable1 and DataTable3 into database.
Regards
Edy

Hi,
I got a problem with importing Accounts using the UCM Batch Manager. Previous steps were loading the EIM Tables EIM_UCM_ORG and EIM_UCM_ADRPER.

Inventory Audit Report - Not followed FIFO and Batch management

I have created an Item say XYZ, with Batch management and valuation methode FIFO.
Then I have created a batch say 1 with posting of opening balance transaction with posting date as 1st April 2009.
Now when I post an A/R Invoice with posting date as 19th May 2009 in which I have selected above batch.
I have also posted some more purchase transaction for same item before 19th May 2009 that is the date of sales invoice.
Now when I see Inventory Audit Report, system has not picked up the cost column as per Batch selection in A/R Invoice, and also not as per FIFO, but it has followed the system date of transaction for deriving cost as per FIFO.
Can anybody throw light on this ?
BR
Samir Gandhi

Dear Samir Gandhi,
Irrespective of posting date you use for document posting, with FIFO Method system will arrange all the inventory posting in layers with First inventory posting will form the base for first inventory movement out and so on
Example:
1st Entry:(Opening Balances)
posting date : 01/04/09    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 100
2nd Entry: Purchase
posting date : 01/05/09    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 105
3rd Entry: Purchase
posting date :25/04/09    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 90
Layers created :
1.    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 100
2.     Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 105
3.     Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 90
4th Entry : Sales
Item : XYZ    quantity : 8
So here cost of goods sold will be : ( 5x100)+ ( 3x105) = 815
and it wont be ( 5x100)+ ( 3x90) =770 if that's what you are expecting

Wants to activate batch management for a material which already had a Stock

hi,
i want to activate batch management for a material which already has a stock and open Purchasing documents.
is there any way by which we can do it without removing the same.
please help.

program name is RVBCONVMAT2BM
but i am doubtfull it will be delivered with standard SAP, you need to request you from SAP as they charge for this.
this program convert the material to batch and all relevant dependant documents will be updated with batch no.
Regards,
Pravin Mukkawar
pasting some description of the program
REPORT rvbconvmat2bm.
Report illustrates the call of function module VBZ0401_CONVERT_OBJECTS
which sets the batch management flag for one material including
depending objects. Function module VBZ0401_FILL_BUFFERS helps
improving the performance.

Stock ageing report with batch Management active

Hi Experts,
My client wants a Stock ageing report and batch management is active
According to my client, Inventory ageing report should show stock quantities and stock value as follows,
1. Below one year
2. Between one and two years
3. Above two years
What are the table and fields to be considered for this report.
Thanks
NDS

What steps do you mean? taking an ABAP course and doing it yourself, or stepping to an ABAPer and let him know what he shall do?
you asked for a stock report, not for a movement report.
If I go into my warehouse and looking at all the stuff sitting there and want a report that should tell me how old this stuff is, then i am not intrested if there was a goods receipt movement.
However I would like to know the last movement date. In this case you have to look into table S032 or into the movements MSEG (with MKPF as header table)

Inventory Count for Batch Managed materials - Plant, S.Loc and Batch Wise

Hi.,
In the company's current scenario, the printing of batch managed materials are scheduled under 3 Job names.
1. First job determines the materials/batches that need to be created today using Program RM07ICN1
2. Second Job Processes the BDC Session created by Program RM07ICN1 using Program: RSBDCSUB
3. Third Job prints the Inventory tickts at the appropriate Storage location using Program: RM07IDRU
Each Job has its own variant.
The Variant for SL.No 1 is defined w.r.t
i. Material Type : Two Material types have been defined
ii. Under selection variable, GIDAT ( Planned count date and GBDAT are flagged.
Current Analysis:
A. The inventory documents get printed with Materials as per the cycle counting indicators defined which govern which material has to be currently counted.
B. Inventory documents are generated for all materials in all the plants and in all the storage locations
C. Batches for a material number may print on different cycle count documents throughout the year.
Customer requirement:
The inventory documents to print on basis of
1. Material, Plant and S.Loc.
This would help in identifying the batches which are currently being counted as well.
2. Customers requirement is to ensure that all batches are accounted for and will identify any overage of batches since in the current process, they are never reviewed as a whole.
QUESTION:
1. How to configure the Customer requriement.
2. How to configure the Variant/s, if thats the place the configuration has to be done to satisfy the customer.
3. How to activate the Variant in SE37 after definition in the Step Indicator. Does it activate on execution?
When i run the Program using SE38 , maintaining options in the Screen ( giving Material, Plant and S.loc), i get the desired list (Batches w.r.t Material,plant.S.Loc). But there is a list of over 150 Batch managed materials and it would not be physically possible to maintain the variant for each each Material,plant,S.loc wise.
Is there a way to configure the customer requirement/s.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Mahesh,
<b>Customer requrirement is specific, they want a list of Inventory Documents to be generated on basis of Material in each Plant-S.Loc batch wise.</b>
Then you need to define multiple varinat for the program.
<b>(a) If i am giving two variants in the same Program name RM07ICN1, how to execute one after after in sequence.
In testing, I have defined in the " Step", Progran RM07ICN1 with one variant and Program RM07ICN1 with another Variant. But on execution of Program RM07ICN1 thru SE38, the screen defined latter ( second variant screen data ) is displayed.</b>
You need to define several steps in SM36 transaction for the program using each variant. SE38 you can use only to save your variant data so later you can use this variant in SM36.
Once you schedule the job with SM36 and release it then it will automatically execute this job as per your criteria (timeline)
Hope this helps.

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.
Deepak.
