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?

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.

Hi Experts,
we want to activate batch management in material master data for more than 1000 items.

Batch Management

Dear Sap Gurus,
I had sucessfullly configured Batch Management.But i am unable to understand process , how batch is allocated in sale order.
According to my understanding:
1. creste charachteristic and assign the chts to class.
2. assign class to material master, and batch is activated in all area.
3.sort sequence is assigned to chts.
4.batch search strategy is assigned with strategy type.
strategy type is assigned with access sequence and acc seq is assigned with table and fields.
sort rule is defined here.maintain the condition record
I would like to know the process flow how the system will determine the batch management?
kindly explain the process how it works.

Batch Management Indicator Required - Material Master

Hello,
My requirement -
Batch management field has to be required for material Type "FERT"
1) I created a new field selection group for the field "batch management" (MARA-XCHPF)
2) Created a new Field Reference group with "Required" entry (OMS9)
3) Assigned the New Field Reference to the material Type in OMS2
The batch management Field is now a mandatory field.
Issue is, when we try to create only the basic Data Views of a FERT material, system does not allow to save the material untill the "Batch Management Indicator" is activated (even if we are not referencing to any plant specific views of the material master.)
We need to have the the Batch management indicator a required entry for FERT, but at the same time should be able to create material master with basic data Field only (we would be extending the plant specific views later)
Is there a alternative method to have this setting to meet the requirements above?
Thanks

Hi
I think you can check if the batch level is defined on material or client now, if yes, you may check if that can be switched to plant level. As far as I knw the basic data is for client so the field is shown on basic data view and ask to input value as you customized.
Alternatively, I think you can use the user exit MGA00001to check the field instead of the field selection, this is called when the material master get saved, then you can write your own source code to chec if the customer filled the field only for certain situations.
Best Regards.

Batch Managment at Plant

Hi, good day
If somebody know about, how can I do to make the choice Batch management at MM01 is only at the Plant and not in general.
That is, a material is with Batch management in a Plant and another Plant the same material without Batch management.
If anyone has an idea about this, please anything would be helpful

Hi,
Yes, it is possible only for whole plant not for a particular material in a plant. if it is active at a plant level then system will ask for batch.
Batch Management can be activated in three levels. They are
1. Client Level
2. Plant Level
3. Material Level
At plant level, the batch number is unique in conjunction
with the respective material and the plant.
At Material level, the batches are unique at material level, that is, the batch is independent of any plant. The same batch
number can also be assigned to another material.
At client level, the batch number is unique in the whole client. It indicates that batches are managed uniquely for
exactly one material, that is, independently of the plant, the same batch can exist only once for all materials.
Example
a) Plant 1000 item code A Batch 1
b) Plant 2000 item code A Batch 1
IMG --> Logistics General --> Batch Management --> Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management
Hope Help U !!!

Same material master in two company codes with batch management

Hi,
There are two company codes in one client. In one batch management is already active. But in another company code batch management is not required. Is it possible to have batch management active in one company code and inactive in another company code where both the co. codes are in the same client? The same material master to be used in both company codes.
Thanks,
Satya.

Hi Satyabarata,
As far as you dont want to move the same materiel i.eStock Transfer with Inter comapy billing scenario then it will be fine.
If you try to Transfer a Batch manged material into a non batch manged CC it will work fine. But on the other hand when do via-versa the system will ask for the Batch information where the Batch management is active.
If you want to use same Material Master for both CC then its not advisable.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thx.

How to deactivate batch management at material master?

Dear Sir/Madam,
At the configuration,I have set "Batch Management" to be activated in plant level. I have a problem which some of the plants do not use batch management.I understand that if you tick "Batch Management" field in material master, batch management is activated for the material in that plant.
1. How do prevent user to tick "Batch Management" field in the material master which appears in the following views (depending on the material types):?
- Sales: General/Plant
- Purchasing
- Plant data/Stor.1
- Work Scheduling
2. Is there any alternate way to prevent user to activate "Batch Management" in that material of their own plant despite it is activated at plant level in the configuration?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Rgds,
Esther Chong

batch status management is just what its name says, you manage your batches with status (unreastricted use, restricted use).
But his comes only into place after you have activated batch managment, it is not causing batch managment, it is only working with batch managment.
Removing batch managment is almost impossible, you have to archive all batches first, to be able to archive the batches, you have to archive the production orders...creation of a new material is in most cases easier and quicker.
Wit batch managment at plant level each plant can independently decide if a material is batch managed or not.
if you want to restrict the entry of the batch management flag, then you have to customize your material master field selection at plant level.

QM In-Process Inspection for Batch Managed Material

Hi,
I have a issue related to UD of In-Process inspection for batch managed material. The production process is discrete manufacting for a cold rolling mill. A production order can have mutiple coils as per the production amount. To track the individual coil , batch management has ben activated. We have both in-process as well as inspection after production here.
For inspection after production we are fine as we are doing partial confirmation after every coil and have separate inspection lot having different batch number.
But for in-process I can have only one inspection lot for the production order (created on release of the production order). I can do the result recording but while trying to do UD u2013 it is asking for a batch number as the material is batch managed. W/o entering the batch number system is not allowing me to do the UD.
Is there any solution/work around of this problem.
-Regards
ashim

Hi Ashim,
you raised a very good question? i am helpless here to execute same scenario,
but i disussed with my QM guy here, he said, once the material is batch managed then it has to ahve batch in UD.
so i discussed ur case, which is very much valid for heavy ind like cement and all,
so what i suggest, u create a dummy batch in the UD for in process (no inventory posting)
and at confimation give ur usual batch (if system propose the dummy batch which u give in the UD for inprocess, try to change there--- i hope it should allow)
i would really like to here answer from u for this.
try to do as suggested, and let me know the results.

Set batch management for reasons of cost management item cannot be deleted

Discovery was made that a material should have had batch management MARC-XCHPF selected. Within that time sales orders were created as well as sales order stock. 411E movements were done to get rid of the sales order stock, and it can not be seen in MMBE. MD04 is also clear. New attempt to add batch management in the plant displayed errors - SD Documents exist (orders or deliveries) that have not yet been
processed or that have been processed only in part.
   Document   Item
   206365     000020
Attempt to remove item 20 from sales order and receive error
Message no. V1128
For reasons of cost management, item 000020 cannot be deleted.
Diagnosis
You tried to delete a sales document item for which cost management is carried out. Cost management can exist at item level for
   - make-to-order production
   - make-to-order stock
   - service contract item
Procedure
Enter a reason for rejection at item level.
I found a similar problem on the forum but not really a solution other than throwing in the towel and making new materials.

Hi
What I understand from your thread is:
You have chekced batchmanagement in
material master & after working some time you want to remove that tick mark.
First of all one should understand that for what ever reason batch management is ON, you can not reverse it .
Either activation or deactivation of batchmanagement is irreversible.
Oflat SAP had come with a note telling that how to proceed with reversal batch management.
I have gone through that note .Finally SAP wants to take consultancy with some fees to make reversal.
It is all pain ful job.
If you can do it abandom thta material & create new material.
This is the solution I can give.
Hope it is celar to you.

Free Goods with Batch Management Activated !!!

Hi Gurus,
I have defined a free goods master data for material on which batch is activated. I have defined the it as with a min of 10 qty 1 free good will be delivered as exclusive item
Now as the batch management is active and each batch has 1 qty in it. Now in order to deliver 1 free good first i have to enter 10 line item of the same material and after the 11 th line system should generate 1 free good item. But this is not happening is there any standard configuration required for this process
Early reply will be awarded accordingly.
Thanks in advance

Hi Abaper,
Free Goods Determination follows the condition technique and hence you should have one condition type assigned to it one access sequence and then maintain the condition type (NA00) in a Free Goods Determination Procedure (NA0000).
Then assign this procedure to your permitted sales area and maintain the free goods determination master data (VBN1).
Also Check the settings of Item Category Assignment
It should be ORNORMFREE+TAN -
> TANN.
By this settings your free goods should work.
Reward if it helps you

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)

Batch management activation- mrp run

Hi, activated batch management for raw materials and stock of 10 qty uploaded with mb1c 561 mvt type, during this it generated batch number. craeted sales order for fert material for which these raw materials maintained as components. note that ici for raw materials are 2 (collective) in mrp4 view. now run mdbt and observed that mrp generated pr's for raw materials even though stock exists. pls advise how to ensure that system considers the existing stock even with batch no. thank you.

Hi,
Batches don't play a role in MRP. So, my guess is that your problem is somewhere else.
Check all the material MRP definitions, FERT, and components, and see that SO is generating requirements.

Activation of batch management -Uploading and creation of new materialBATCH

Dear All,
Good day !!!
We have activated Batch management in our business, whcih was running without BATCH management Active before.Now we have activated the batch management ,Automatic in case of GR creation and by FIFO basis in case of goods movement and SD and PP modules also.
Now every transactions and data are working properly. But we need clarity on the master data upload and inventory upload.
Suppose if we need to carry out the for the same material Batch to be activated or whether we need to go for new material and batch management active , Pleaes clarify on the process and also how we could upload the existing inventory from the existing NON Batch material into BATCH material (Which is created wholly as a new materail with batch)
KIndly provide on the above 2 points which would be helpful for our business.
Thanks and Regards,
Amol.

Hi
I think with the help of FI create a dummy cost centre and issue the material to the cost centre ,
Look no Purchase requisitions or purchase orders are open on the material
activate batch management to material and using 202 movement get back the material .
as the process is very tedious use the help of badis for updating and cancellation if required
this may be only process for activating new batches for material

Batch Managment Activation

Hi, friends
I want to activate Batch management at plant level.but there is stock in current period as well as previous period(in marterial master plant stock view).Stock exist unresticted stock,stock at vendor ,Quality Inspection stock.How i will do Zero stock at previous period.
Regards,
Kamlesh

Hi
Batchmanagement activation or deactivation should be done initially.
First go to MM02 & try to activate batch , then the system will give error log.
Read the same.
It looks not only stcoks some other open documents also shouldhave been there.
In that case you have to close all those to activate bacth.
Please try in above lines.
