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.

Hi friends,
We are configuring batch management for ECC 6.0 with CRM 5 .
I can see the batch level in my system as Material level. But we would like to convert batch level in to Plant level. when i try to convert the batch level i am getting error "This type of conversion is not implemented".
There is no batch record exists in the stock.
Please clarify why can't able to change to plant level from material level.
ThanksYOu need to use the OSS note 41715
This will explain what exactly you need to do.
Please go through the above OSS note. -
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 procedure
hi .,
Customer have present Batch Management of their materials , Batch wise.
They would like to change their Batch Management to Material wise instead of their present Batch wise management.
Question is: Can it be done. If it can be done, how to proceed to the next step.
What are the configuration steps to be taken for converting batch management from Batch wise to Material wise management.
Will there have to be NIL Stock of material in transit or in stock to implement this.?
Is it advisable to change the Batch management procedure ?
Appreciate your response.

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
Anushayou 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. -

Documentary Batches with Batch Management at Material Level
Hi,
We have configured batch managment at the material level, and turned on for our materials. This applies to all plants that a material is extended to. Problem is that some plants don't have capability to (or do not need to) trace individual batches. So a "Generic" batch number approach is usually used in those few plants - but this of course still requires that the "Generic" batch number be supplied in all transactions. Some of those plants have just a more limited requirement of batch traceability (e.g. just at receipt or despatch, but not anything else like physical inventory).
The functions of Documentary Batches seem most appealing. However, according to documentation, and in our tests, it seems that the batch management setting will always suppress the documentary batch functions in a plant, even if we only want generic batches.
Does anyone know how to allow documentary batches for certain plants to override the "Batch at Material level" setting? P.S. We are not able anymore to re-configure the batch to material-plant level.
FYI - I have searched Forums, Wiki, Support portal, SAP Help and Release Documentation.
Cheers,
Jeffhello Gurus,
Can any body Download OSS note 41715 for me from Marketplace as i dont have access so please.

Batch Management in different plants
Hey SAPers
I am using batch managment for certain materials. But I don't need batch management of same materials in other plant. SAP is not allowing to change the status in other plants.
Business needs to maintain materials in batches in warehouse but not in stores.
Do we have a way out for this problem.
Please respond.
Thanks.
Regards,
MAM.dear abdul
You can manage batches in different plants for many materials. For this reason, batches must be uniquely identifiable. In the SAP System, the batch number uniquely identifies the batch. You use the batch level to specify whether the batch number for a material is unique in one plant, or in all plants.
You choose the batch level in Customizing for Batch Management under Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management
Batch Levels
Plant level
The batch number is unique in connection with the plant and material.
The batch number is only known in the plant in which it was created if the stock is transferred to another plant, the batch is unknown in the recipient plant and the system does not adopt any data. You have to recreate and specify the batch in the receiving plant; that is, the same batch number may have different specifications in several plants.
Material level:
The batch number is unique in all plants in connection with the material.
The same batch number has the same meaning for the material in all plants. One batch number cannot have different specifications in different plants. During stock transfer to another plant, the specification of the batch is known in the destination plant even if the batch is placed into storage in that plant for the first time.
Client level:
The batch number is unique in the whole client. A batch number can only be assigned once in the client. You cannot assign the same batch number for different materials.
The batch number is only unique at the chosen level.
Changing the Batch Level
In the standard SAP System, the plant level is set as the batch level. If you want to use a different level in your company, you have to change it in Customizing and carry out a conversion program.
You choose the batch level in Customizing for Batch Management under Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management.
While the conversion program is running, you can only post batches at the old level. You can only post batches at the new level after the conversion has been completed.
You cannot change back from a higher level to plant level in the standard system. However, you can change the batch level from client level back to material level.
To change the batch level from plant level to material level, the material has to be subject to batch management in all plants.

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
Anushaalways 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. -
Hi Can u send me through my company id please send Batch Mnagement/ Variant Configuration documents to my id is [email protected]

udhaydear kumar
Please find the Notes on Batch Management Below:
SAP allows a configuration setting for 3 different batch levels. This wills effective your possibilities. Option Number 2 is the default configuration for SAP out of the box:
1.) Plant - can allow for the Batch Management Flag on a material sold out of 2 different plants to be set independently. Batch numbers can be used for multiple materials, and batch specifications and analytical results can be different for each batch (multiple batch Master records).
2.) Material - Batch Management flag is set the same for the material across all plants that use it. Batch numbers can be used for multiple materials, however, batch specification and analytical results are the same for the batch (one Batch Master Record).
3.) Client - Batch Management flag is set the same for material across all plants that use it. Batch number can only be used for one material across the client. (One Batch Master Record).
If the Batch level flag is set at the Client level, it allows for a batch number to be used with only one material throughout the entire SAP client. This is troublesome with products which are produced in bulk and then packaged into smaller size containers for sale. Due to the limitation of having only one batch number per material, when the product is packaged, new batch numbers have to be assigned to the finished packages, even though the same bulk material is being used inside the package. Because of this work-a rounds have been created and business processes adjusted to accommodate this restriction.
There is a process in SAP that will allow for the conversion of the Batch Level in SAP from Client level to Material level. Please investigate SAP notes 41715, 891902, 893053, 900359 among others, and it appears that there is a conversion program in SAP that will do this in configuration.
In addition to above Please find some more stuff,
A batch in the Materials Management system is defined as a subset or partial quantity of a material that is managed separately from other subsets of the same material. Each batch is identified not only by its material identification but also by a separate batch number. Typical examples of batches include different production lots (such as paints, dyes, wallpapers, and pharmaceutical products), delivery lots, or quality grades of a material.
In Sales and Distribution (SD), it is possible to determine batches that match customer specifications. Batch determination can be triggered at two points in the process, either when the sales order is entered, or when the delivery is created.
If you enter a batch number directly into the sales document, the system checks whether its availability and expiration dates are valid. When you copy a pre-sales document to a sales order, any existing batch numbers are also automatically copied but cannot be changed in the sales order. If you create a sales order with materials to be managed in batches that does not have a preceding document, you can change the batch numbers until subsequent documents, such as the delivery, have also been created. If, when creating a delivery, the system discovers that the copied batch is not valid, a warning is issued by the system. In this case, the batch specification must be changed in the sales document source.
Maintaining Master Data for Batches
If a material is managed in batches, you indicate this fact in the material master record in either the Purchasing or Plant data/storage 1 views. You can also create and maintain master data for individual batches, specifying such information as the expiration date, valuation type, and the country of origin. If you are planning to use batch split at delivery time, you must also maintain the relevant customer master records for those customers who permit batches to be split.
Entering Batch Number in Sales Document
Before you can enter a batch number in a sales document, a delivering plant must be entered for the item. If no delivering plant is entered, the Batch field remains inactive.
You can find the Batch field on the Item overview tab page in the table with the items.
If you do not know the batch number, you can display all the available batches in the delivering plant for your material, by using the input help.
An availability check is carried out for the batch, which you have entered, and the quantity available is confirmed.
If no batch number is proposed in the sales order for an item with material to be handled in batches, automatic batch determination can be carried out in the delivery.
There are four points at which you should use batch determination in Sales & Distribution. These are:
Quotations
Quantity contracts
Sales orders (or scheduling agreement)
Delivery
We use batches in SD where the materials are produced under one batch and they are given the shell life expiry date for each batch,
A1) Normally we use batch determination at delivery level, because at the time of order material may or may not be created. For this material should be configured with batch and batch determination should be checked in sales views of material.
A2) Batch Determination during order Creation.
For this you need to maintain Classes d for you Material. Depending on the Manufacturing process you can define the characteristics for your material.
Ex: Purity for Medicines, Resistance for Electric Items.
You need to create a class (You might have to create a new class type) which incorporates the characteristic.
First Create the Characteristic Using CT04 and then using CL02 create the Class including this characteristic.
Then in your material master Classification View Enter this class.
Then Create a Batch for the particular plant and Storage Location using MSC1N.Give the value of the characteristics in this batch.
Then go to SPRO ->Logistics General ->Batch Management and maintain the Condition Technique (Procedure, Strategy Types and assignment to sales docs etc).
Then Create the Batch Determination Record using VCH1.

Prerequisite of activating batch management
Hello there,
I've seen a lot of posts saying PR, PO, Plan order Production order must be clear before activating batch management for a material. But when we test with our system, it is allowed to activate batch management for the material even there is open PO / planned orders. Only not allowed for open SO.
Would like to confirm what is the real answer. PS, currently we have not made any change to confirgration about batch management. Would it make some difference of system behavior?
Thanks.Please review the following notes and KBA
30656 Change base unit of measure/batch management requirement
1521082 Error M3530: Change Material to Batch Managed OR Non Batch
Managed (field MARA-XCHPF)
533276 Setting batch management requirement
As advised in note 30656, changing the batch indicator can only be performed when there is no existing stock in present and previous period. The system behaves like this due to possible inconsistencies that would occur if you post goods movements for previous periods when there was no batch management.
You will need to delete any open documents and reverse any material movements on this material. If batches (even zero stock batches!) are still assigned to the material you must delete them and reorganize the tables MCH1, MCHA and MCHB.
At this point the flag could be changed.
Please also consider the following...
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'.
I hope this can help! -
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 BernatHi,
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 determination & Batch Management
Hi Gurus,
Can anyone plz send me the batch determination screen shots in SD point of view urgent to my mail [email protected]
ThanksHi Ngassom,
BATCH DETERMINATION:
We use batches in SD where the materials are produced under one batch and they are given the shell life expiry date for each batch,
A1) Normally we use batch determination at delivery level, because at the time of order material may or may not be created. For this material should be configured with batch and batch determination should be checked in sales views of material.
A2) Batch Determination during order Creation.
For this you need to maintain Classes d for you Material. Depending on the Manufacturing process you can define the characteristics for your material.
Ex: Purity for Medicines, Resistance for Electric Items.
You need to create a class (You might have to create a new class type) which incorporates the characteristic.
First Create the Characteristic Using CT04 and then using CL02 create the Class including this characteristic.
Then in your material master Classification View Enter this class.
Then Create a Batch for the particular plant and Storage Location using MSC1N.Give the value of the characteristics in this batch.
Then go to SPRO ->Logistics General ->Batch Management and maintain the Condition Technique (Procedure, Strategy Types and assignment to sales docs etc).
Then Create the Batch Determination Record using VCH1.

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 Chongbatch 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. -
