  • 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 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 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.

  • Changed Material from non-batch to batch-managed

    Dear Gurus,
    Could anyone advise on the steps that I need to perform in order to change the material from non-batch to batch-managed in the material master?
    There are stocks being captured in current month and previous month
    Hope to hear from you soon.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Batch management for existing material can not be done if it has stock and value.You can keep stock value NIL (By reversing) and then proceed with batch management.Batch Management you doing means , you just subdividing the material according to its characterstics of material.
    The Customisation steps are:
    1.Create Characterstics,
    2.Create Class,
    3.In material master, select classification view and tick batch management
    4.Go to Logistic General->Batch Management->Batch Det and back Chk->Condition table-> Define Inventory Management Condition table
    4.2 . Like wise Define Acess Sequense,
    4.3.Strategy Types,
    4.4.batch Serch Procedure,
    4.5.Batch Srech Procedure and allocation,
    4.6..Condition Record: Logistic->Central Function->Batch Management-> Batch Determination->Batch serch Stratergy->For Inventory Manament-> Create
    Once you do all customising steps,Then you can receive the material as per you requirement.Example....Lets say H2SO4,you are receiving 98%,70% and 50% purity.According to you requirement and supply from Vendor you can keep in three different batches.This characterstic of material you can maintain in creating the characterstic ,,step-1.

  • Change a Class in the Batch Management (class 023)

    Dear friends,
    We have batch management activated, and for some material codes we need to change the class.
    So could we just set zero value in the inventory account and also zero quantity and delete the current class to another one ?
    Does anyone see any problem with this procedure ?
    best regards,
    alessandro

    you can delete the class from material master without making the stock zero, as the batch class is only a template for the batch that gets created in future.
    for existing batches you have to change the class in MSC2N transaction in an extra step.

  • Change in delivery quantity for batch managed items.

    30.09.2010
    Hi friends,
    We have activated batch management. During delivery after the batch is determined and if i want to change the delivery quantity say for example from 50 to 30 then first i have to go and adjust the quantity in the batches to toal 30  and then come back and change the delivery quantity from 50 to 30.
    After searching the forum i have found  user exits, but other than the user exits is there a standard configuration wheren if i change the delivery quantity the quantity is adjusted in the batches.   Please advise.

    Did you try working with the batch strategy config?
    Try working with fields a) Over Del allowed, and b) Qty proposal.
    Path: SPRO/IMG/Logistics - General/Batch Management/Batch Determination and Batch Check/Strategy Types/Define Sales and Distribution Strategy Types
    Hope this helps. Let me know.

  • 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!

  • 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..

  • Change existing stock items from Non-Batch to Batch Management Method

    Hi,
    Any prerequisites before changing the existing stock items from Non-Batch to Batch Management method which have On hand stock qty? Please advise.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Priscilla

    Hi
    You can change the method only when, available Qty becomes zero.
    OR
    you can do one workaround :
    Make Goods Issue of that Item and take value of stock in any GL,
    and then change the method of that item, then make Goods Reciept by using that GL which was used in Goods Issue.

  • How Can We Change Batch Management Level From Client level to Plant Level?

    Hi all,
    I want to know whether it is possible to change the batch management level from client to plant level.Pls Help..

    Hi,

  • Changing SLED date on non Batch Managed Materials

    Is it possible to change the SLED date on QUANTS for Materials that are not batch managed?  This date is originally recorded in the Goods Receipt (MIGO).
    The SLED is displayed in the LS24 Bins Stock per Material Report.
    Where this is incorrect on Batch Managed Materials the SLED date can be changed on the Batch in MSC2N, however for non Batch Managed Materials it does seem possible to change it.

    The SLED field only exists in the quant when shelf life management is active in Materials Management (MM). This happens when the material master is maintained accordingly.
    During a stock placement in MM you can enter either the production date or the shelf life expiration date. This depends upon whether the field Remaining shelf life has been maintained in the material master record. For example, if 10 days have been entered into this field, the system assumes that when goods are received, the production date was entered and calculates the shelf life automatically. If you leave this field empty in the material master, the system makes it possible for you to directly enter the shelf life expiration date.
    This date that is entered or calculated during the goods receipt is then noted in the quant that is created in the storage bin. If you add stock to an existing quant in a storage bin, the shelf life expiration date of the new quantity that is added is lost.
