  • Change material description at plant level

    Hi,
    can material description be changed for  only one plant.

    Hi All,
         Material Description is at client level data it will be applicable for all plants. But if you extend the material for using it in the other plant you can make a note in the sale text or purchase order text.
    Hope this will solve your problem,

  • 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.

    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.

  • Changing Batch Level from Material Level to Plant Level.

    I want to create the batch class with the class code 22 instead of 23. As the batch class is maintained at the Material Level, not at the Plant Level. So is it possible to change the batch class from Material to Plant Level and create batch class with code 22.
    Kindly suggest.

    Hi, Thanks for ur reply.
    I have applied SAP notes and changed the batch status from material level to plant level...But still i am getting the class type as 23.
    What are the next steps to be done. Currently in OMCT, Batch Level Conversion tab is active and rest all the tabs are in inactive state. so please guide.

  • 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.

  • EWM - Batch Management at material/plant

    How can I manage batches at material/plant level within EWM?  I am being told that EWM does not allow batch management at material/plant level. It allows batches only at material level.
    Can someone please shed light?
    Thanks,
    Satish

    Hi
    It is not simple task. Make sure you don't have any stock left in the concerned plant(s) for the present and the previous month (the batch management flag is valid for all storage locations of a plant).
    Archive/delete all existing batches for the concerned plant(s).
    Now you should be able to unflag batch management.

  • Process for batch level at plant level

    Folks,
    In case we have set batch level at plant level, how does the system reacts in case of an STO? I.e. I ship batch 1 for material 1 from plant A to plant B. In plant B, this batch might already exists as the level of batches is on plant level. HOw will the GR react? Will it create a new batch number in plant B?
    Regards,
    MdZ

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. Just to be sure; in case of a scenarion in which we have an STO, an outbound delivery with message type SPED which creates the inbound delivery and copies over the batch numbers in the inbound delivery and we do a GR on the inbound delivery, the system will try to do GR for these specific batches. Will the system then also either receive the batches on the inbound delivery in case these do not exist and create new ones in case they do exist?

  • Add z field in material master at plant level

    I wanna to assign a new field in material master at plant level..
    What settings should be done to do this?
    Positive response will be highly appreciated.
    Regards

    hi,
    You can define the field directly via assigning the field to field selection group...This could also be done at industry sector, plant level as well....
    Check the path :
    SPRO >> Logistics general >> MM >> Field selection >> Assign fields to field selection group...
    SPRO >> Logistics general >> MM >> Field selection >> Assign field at plant
    SPRO >> Logistics general >> MM >> Field selection >> Assign fields at industry sector level...
    For this assign the field to the respective table and then provide it at OMSR...
    Assign field selection group to it...
    Then in OMS9 give the priority for hide/display/req/optional to field...
    If you want this to be added in the new screen, then you have to make the settings under "configure the material master"...
    Hope it helps..

  • Unmark batch management at Material Master Record.

    Hi all:
    Is it possible to unflag the batch management mark from a material (with an existent batch) and use it again?
    The material is already marked for batch management use. An initial stock (with batch) was made.
    Then a necessity to unflag (batch management) the material; arised.
    Stock was deleted and batch marked for deletion at Plant and batch stock level.
    The system doesn't permit to unmark the batch management because it says that "Batches already exist".
    Thanks for any help.

    It is not simple task. Make sure you don't have any stock left in the concerned plant(s) for the present and the previous month (the batch management flag is valid for all storage locations of a plant).

    hi
    the client level data is the field data  which will be common for all plants
    plant level data is the field data which is plant specific
    also in purchasing view many fields are plant specific
    to check it just do one goto mm03
    give material and only select the pur view
    at now give only plant and check fields
    now repeate same without plant ,at this time u will see the client specific field
    the UOM is the client level filed ,it is also in  mRp view but as the mrp is used for plant it is in plznt specific data
    hope it clears

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

  • 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,
