Batch management change for material

Hi gurus,
can anybody please help me with this. We have some stock for a material in vendor consignment status. We want to change this material to batch management. How can we do this?
Thanks
Anusha

you have to issue the stock in previous period and current period.
obtain previous period stock in MM03 > plant stock view
you can use movement type 201 to do this.
then you can try to change the Batch managment indicator.
if you still get an error, then you may have to archvie the special stock records first.
this can be done with transaction SARA - object MM_SPSTOCK.
The easier and quicker solution is to create a new material master.

Changing Batch Management Level from Material to Plant

Hi all,
We are investigating changing our batch management level from material to plant to meet business requirements.
SAP has pointed us to a note with a program to reset the batch level, as well as highlighting some things to look out for.
I've conducted the change in a playpen system and so far it looks relatively straightforward, with complexities arising only when characteristics exist, or when a batch exists in multiple plants.
Seems that batch master data is moved from MCH1 to MCHA, including the object link number to classification. Unfortunately it seems a limitation of the conversion is that the batch master data is copied to ONE plant only in MCHA, no doubt due to the fact the object number link to classification must be unique.
My question is this: has anyone performed this change before, and if so can you offer me any advice on what to look out for, or potential problems that arose after the change?
Any help or comments are appreciated.
Mark.

hi..
first of all try this simple one...
You will have to delete all the materials, remove stock and then switch the batch management flag.
Or
To convert the batch from plant level to material there is Conversion Program defind by the SAP...
1. For all releases lower than Release 4.5B, implement the corrections and the modification in the report RM07CHDX as described in the correction instructions.
2. Create the report ZCHTCUCH, which is specified in the attachment.
3. Run this report in the clients for which you want to reset batch level to plant level.
4. Call transaction OMCT.
5. Check whether the batch level for "Batch unique at plant level" is set.
6. Implement Notes 821891, 944278, 950540 and 1091613 if you have not already done so (or you have not imported the corresponding Support Package).
7. Execute the function "Batch Level -> Conversion".
8. Define a plant for a plant view that may be missing.
9. Always execute the report in the test mode first. Analyze the error log.
10. If no errors occur, you can execute the report in production mode.
11. If you are working with batch long texts, first execute the report ZM07CHDX_TEXT in test mode.
try this out..hope is works,,
Thanks..

Hi,
Changing the status of the material from Uncheck to checked or viseversa is possible only if the following conditions are met
1 Check the Status of material MMBE
2 There should not be any open Purchase Order Use SE16 & Table EKPO Give the material number for which we have to find the Open Pos; Alternateively ME2M can also be used
3 There should not be any Open Production Order Use SE16 & Table AFPO Give the material number for which we have to find the Open Production Orders
4 There sould not be any Sales Order Use SE16 & Table VBAP Give the material Number for which we have to find the Open Sales Orders
5 There should not be any Purchase Requistion Use SE16 & Table EBAN Give the material Number for which we have to find the Open PRs
6 There should not be any Stock in Transit MB5T
7 There should not be any Plant availability Stock MB53
8 There should not be any Reservation MB25
9 Previuos Period Stock should be zero Use MM03 with Plant Stock & Storage Loc. View If Stock Exists follow the Procedure mentioned in next chapter to close
10 Stock requirement should be zero MD04
11 There should not be any open Delivery Use SE16 & Table LIPS Give the material Number for which we have to find the Open PRs
12 There should not be any open Warehouse Transfer Request Use SE16 & Table LTBP Give the material Number for which we have to find the Open PRs
13 There should not be any open Warehouse Transfer Request Use SE16 & Table LTAP Give the material Number for which we have to find the Open PRs
14 The Batch Corresponding to the plant has to be set for deletion indicator MSC2N
If previous period stocks exist, we can make a withdrawal posting as follows
1. Post the same amount to current period stock (for example, using
movement type 561) so that previous period stock and current period
stock are identical.
2. Make a withdrawal posting in the previous period for the stock
together with posting date (for example, using movement type 562).
If any of the above Stock Exists it has to be closed;If Any of the stock exists we cannot uncheck.
After closing all the open items;the related business documents viz Purchase Orders,Production Orders,Delivery,etc has to be Archived
Archiving has certain criteria while doing Archiving Process-- Systematic Archival is the Key factor i.e relationship diagram has be met.
SAP Note Number 533383 - Resetting batch management requirement
This is similar to changing of Unit of measurement.
Hence such criteria ought to be met.
Reward if found useful.

CO88-Error :Perform the planned price change for material

Hi Experts,
While running CO88 i get this error. "Perform the planned price change for material ". My material is manage at S and it doesn't have any marked cost. The status is FR and no other status on cost etimate for the article are active. what i shoul do? why if i run the PP order with KO88 i don't have any error?
Please help i'm facing the closing period.

Hi,
If dynamic price change is active in your system the first posting in the new period of this material tries to
- release a future cost estimate of that period OR
- change the price to the future price in accounting view
(if the future price date is reached)
Unfortunately this dynamic price change does not work in order settlement. Therefore you are asked to perform the price change first by t-code CKME (or CK24).
If you are using price determination control 3, any price change or release should always be the first transaction in a new period to avoid any inconsistencies.
The dynamic price release will only release the price with transactions which involve material movement and this is not the case by posting invoices and order settlements.
if you are in period 12/2009 then a settlement in 12/2009 does not require the release cost estimate of 01/2010.
But if you are already in 01/2010 therefore settlement in 12/2009 is a posting into the previous period. This will change also data of the current period. Therefore the cost estimate has to be released first.
Another option, if you don't want to receive this message, would be to change this message from Error to Warning (check note 434752).
Please follow the following steps:
T-CD:OMRM
Message M8 394
=>you set the message type to '-' for error message M8394, that means no message is to be issued.

Scenarios: Material is NOT Batch Managed
1.     How to track a batch received for Purchase order.
2.     How to track a Batch created in a Production order.
3.     How to track a Batch in Sales Order.

How to remove Batch Management in the Material

Hi All,
The Batch Management indicator for a Material was accidentally activated, thus upon goods movement the system required user to enter a Batch Number. The user, not knowing the implications, entered a Batch Number.
Now we want to remove the Batch Management indicator, I already asked the user to reverse the goods movement posted and have the Batch Number flagged for deletion at both Plant and Storage Location Level via MSC2N.
MM02 still won't allow the removal of the tick mark in the indicator.
There are options I have looked at:
1) Create a new Material Code in place of the old one.
2) Archive the Batch Number then try to remove the tick mark via MM02 - will this even work out?
But the priority is still to retain the same Material Code. Is there any other way/option?
Thanks a lot!!! =)

It is a little painful but here are the basic steps.
Remove all stock.
Cancel all demand, no requisitions, no purchase orders,
production orders etc. Transaction MD04 must be empty.
Use transaction MSC2N to place a deletion indicator on every
past batch for that material prior to the end of your fiscal period or
month.
Run transaction MM74 to archive the "flagged for deletion" batch
numbers.
In the next period or month go to transaction MM02 and remove
the batch flag from the material master.
hope it helps

Change Batch Management Flag in Material Master

TCode : MM17
Select General Material Data MARA
Execute(F8)
Enter Material Number
Execute(F8)
Click on Select Fields Icon above New Values under General Material Data tab
Choose "Batch Management"
Check/Uncheck Flag for Batch Management & Save

Hi there,
Besides the note 30656 , there are two important points to be take into your consideration:
1) If you want to change the batch management, it is not enough to check for stock. You must also reorganize all existing batches for the material. You can do this using the TA MM73 and MM74 or SARA. After you have reorganized the batches you should be able to change the batch management. The Object to use in the txn SARA is MM_SPSTOCK. You must first set the deletion flag for the batch using txn MCH2.
2) If you have defined the batch level in the TA OMCE to 'unique at material level', it is not possible to turn off the batch management flag in one plant. You can can only turn it off for all plants at the same time. That means if you want to turn it off, the system checks all plants for the existence of stock. In other words, the batch management flag will be the same for all plants at any time if you use the batch level 'unique at material level'.
Hope this helps!

Batch management separately for packaging / fuel material

Hi experts,
to be very clear , batch management is activated for all type of materials like raw material and finished goods.
For packaging material and fuel material i didnt activate batch management.
my issue is to maintain batch for packaging and fuel material with batch no. separately.
if any customization or through any exits / badi ?
i also maintain for stock at batch level .
regards
dks

Hi,
If batch is not activated for Material type packaging / fuel material...and stock /PO/GRN/IV exists for those material, then its impossible to to acitivate batches for those materials whose stock /PO/GRN/IV exists ...
If you want to maintain batches for these material types then you have to reverse all documents and you have to clear all stocks, which will be tedious job.
Better from future when ever you create new material for those material types, then activate the batch management check box.

Batch management change

Hi MM Gurus,
I need to flag-on batch management for a material. I have deleted stocks and open PR, PO, Outline agreements. But still i am not able to change the batch management...while doin this its saying "Stocks already exist at plant level."
can anyone help me on this.
Thanks in advance.

You have to issue previous period stock first and the remaining quantity in the current period .
You can see how much previous period stock you have in material master (MM03 - view plant stock)
Instructions can be found in OSS note 30656.

Batch Management-Change of batch level

Hi Friends,
I would like to convert the Batch level using T-Code "OMCE" from "batch unique at the material level" to "batch unique at the plant level." When I attempt to change the configuration, I receive a message that "This type of conversion is not yet implemented"
Could any one tell me to change batch level from material level to plant level.
Your help is very much appreciated.

Hi,
First check is there any stock available for any material with batch managed if it is there then stock out means make stock zero for current & previous period then try to run the conversion program as per procedure given by SAP.
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 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.
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.

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.
Leon.
