BATCH MANAGEMENT - DOCUMENTATION

Hello,
We are planning to implement BATCH MANAGEMENT to identify the material / stock belongs to which period and manufactured location.
Please send the brief note on BATCH MANAGEMENT.

Hi
SAP allows a configuration setting for 3 different batch levels. This will 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.

Batch Management at delivery

Hi,
User1 has created a outbound delivery and assigned a batch manually.
So that particular batch has been assigned "fully".
Later after some seconds, User2 created another outbound delivery for the same material against his Sales order.
User 2 gets the same batch to assign manually for the second delivery ?
It's for sure that once the picking is completed, this will not happen. But it might be late to know the error.
How can we restrict this "assigning the same batch to the multiple deliveries" in non-picked status of deliveries ?
Is this something to do with the data processing delay in SAP ? If yes, how can we improve it ?

How about automatic batch determination.

Batch Management in CRM 2007 Service Transactions

Dear SAP colleagues,
I am dealing with a CRM 2007 Service project, and there is a question that has been in my mind for a while.
As far as I know, it is possible to manage product batches in CRM Sales. In fact, the field is standard delivered, and there are a couple of BADIs in SPRO, under Sales Transactions. But when talking about CRM Service, I can`t find any documentation about batch management anywhere, nor the possibility of configuring the functionality.
May anybody give me some light about this issue please?
Thanks in advance.
Pablo RM

Hi Rupesh,
thank you very much for your answer, but shall I understand that batch must be specified in ECC and cannot be recorded in CRM (in stardad logic)?
Let me explain you a bit more about our needs: we have products with batch numbers that can only be repaired with spare parts with same batch number, since they come from the same manufacturing batch. When defective products arrive to be repaired (we will use In-house repair orders to cope with this) and their batch numbers are identified, there should be an availability check of the spare parts needed considering their batches, just the same way as it is done in CRM Sales for products. As you say, once it has been released, the reservation is made in ECC.
I suposse that there's no solution but a custom development.
Well, thank you again and good bye.
Pablo

Preference calculation with batch management

Hi experts,
I am trying to find any documentation or manuals about how to set-up and use preference calculation in SAP-SD-FT or GTS based on batch management.
Does anyone of you know how to do it and use such kind of "standard"-SAP-solution or is customer-specific programming essential.
Any reply would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Corinne

Hi Corinne,
Did you get anything for your requirement specific to Preference calculation with batch management. I am also looking for the same. let me know if you found something useful or if you created an enhancement to resolve this issue.

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,
Jeff

Batch Management- batch level

Hi,
Pls explain abt batch levels and its usage and
which batch level sap recommends and
which level most of the companies are using??
as well, how to check which batch level is using for a client??

Hi,
You can detail document about batch level in given path help documentation.
SPRO-IMG-Logistics general-Batch management-Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management.
In this IMG activity, you specify the following:
The level at which batch numbers are unique
Whether batch status management is active in the client
The plants in which batch status management is active
The initial status of new batches
Batch level
Batch numbers can be unique at the following levels:
At plant level
At material level
At client level for a material
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.
Standard settings
In the standard delivery batches are uniquely defined at material level.
Activities
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.

How to Setup Batch Management Level (Material vs Client)

Hi Experts,
I had a question about the level at which I should be setting up Batch Management. The requirements that we have are:
- We want uniqueness in the batch being created.
- We have split valuation active at the Batch Level.
Hence, we have nailed down to the following 2 options: 1. Client level or 2. Material level. (I know that I will not be using Plant level because we do a lot of STO's and we do not want to lose the characteristics in the Batch at the plant level. So the plant level is out of scope.)
Client Level: Although the client level gives us the uniqueness and supports most of our requirements, my fear with going at the client level is that it is too rigid and MAY cause problems in the future. Is that true? What would be issues/ concerns that you have faced when you have had Batch Management activated at the client level.
Material Level: If I setup the system at this level, I would like to be able to create a Batch number for a material across the entire client only once. E.g. MAT1 can have BATCH 123 only once across the whole client. MAT 2 can have BATCH 123 but the Material# and the Batch # uniqueness should be maintained thoroughly.
I would like to try out this level but my problem is I am unable to understand and setup this level completely. I have gone through some pretty good discussion on this topic but still am unable to understand it thoroughly. The link to this discussion is (http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=80407). If you refer to this link, it says u2013 Client/ Material Level. What does client/material level mean? Can you please help me understand it. Also, if I setup Batch management at this level, I would like the system to auto-generate numbers for me exactly as I have mentioned above. Is there a way to do so? I was trying to setup the BATCH_MAT number range object with the batch level at Material level but the system seems to always default to the BATCH_CLT level and give us numbers. Is there a way to fix the system to check the BATCH_MAT number range object and give the batch numbering per my requirements. What happens if I use the Material Level Batch management with BATCH_CLT number range object?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Check following customizing:
Logistics General --> Batch Management --> Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management
If you want to change the batch level, you have to start conversion to activate the change.
Note that you cannot reset conversion from plant level to a higher level, read the documentation for customizing of
"Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management".
If you want to work with same batches for different materials, you should use "Batch unique at material level".
Logistics General --> Batch Management --> Batch Number Assignment
Here you can define how the system should create batch numbers.

Plant specific batch management

hi all,
plz let me know in batch management how to maintain internal no assignment for some plant & external no assignment for some plant within the same clint...
REQ: if i make internal no assignment for 1000 plant, then during confirmation of fert, system assigns system generated batch to it, which should noT happen for another plant(say 1100)since we want external no assignment for 1100.

Hi!,
As the other guru said it is correct that it is not possible through standard SAP. You have to use an enhancement for the same. Please go through the following IMG Help
Set Up Customer Exits for External Batch Number Assignment
As part of the external batch number assignment, the following two function module exits are available in the SAP enhancement SAPLV1ZE for checking a new batch number that has been entered.
EXIT_SAPLV01Z_003. Using this exit, you can replace the proposed number range object BATCH_CLT and/or external interval 02 with a number range object and/or external interval you have defined yourself.
You also have the option of suppressing the batch number check, for example, based on the material or plant.
Please go to following path and check the documentation there and get it done with the help of an developer.

How we can run Oracle Batch Manager in Oracle Sales Analyzer

Hi,
Please guide me how we can run Oracle Batch Manager in Oracle Sales Analyser.
Best Regards,

You cannot run Batch Manager directly from within the OSA Administrator or Analyzer clients. Batch Manager has its own GUI client that can be used the define and schedule jobs, however, it also possible to run and montitor jobs via command line as well.
The documentation helps explain this:

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.

Why Batch Management is required?

Hello Experts,
I am going through all notes available in SPRO related to Batch Management and able to understand the settings for the same.
However, I do not have any idea what is the importnace of Batch Management? Why do we do that? And where its required?
Can you throw some light on the same?
Thanks And Regards,
Krupesh Kothari.

In various industries u2013 particularly the process industry u2013 you have to work with homogenous partial quantities of a material or product throughout the logistics quantity and value chain.
There are various reasons for this:
Legal requirements (for example, the guidelines set out by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) or regulations on hazardous material
Defect tracing, callback activities, and regression requirement
The need for differentiated quantity-and value-based Inventory Management (for example, due to heterogeneous yield/result qualities or varying constituents in Production.
Differences in usage and the monitoring thereof in materials planning in SD and Production.
Production or procedural requirements (for example, settlement of material quantities on the basis of different batch specifications).
Integration
Batch Management is integrated in all applications of the R/3 System. It supports the management and processing of batches in all of a companyu2019s business processes.
Features
Batch number assignment
You use this function to assign a batch with a number that uniquely identifies it.
Batch specifications
You use this function to describe each batch uniquely using characteristics and characteristic values. You specify the permitted value range in the allocated material master record.
Batch status management
You use this function to indicate whether a batch is usable or unusable. You set this status:
Manually in the batch master record or at goods receipt
Automatically in the usage decision in quality management
Batch determination
With this function, you can use various criteria to search for batches that are in stock, for example:
when posting goods issues
when combining suitable material components for production orders and process orders
when creating a delivery according to particular customer requirements
Batch where-used list
The batch record contains all quality-relevant planned and actual data for the production of a batch and complies with the GMP guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practices) for the pharmaceutical industry and food industry.
The path of the batch from Procurement to delivery to your customer is shown in the batch where-used list.
For more information, refer to Archiving Batch Records (PP-PI) in the BC - SAP ArchiveLink Scenarios PP documentation.
Active ingredient management
You use this function to administrate and process materials with active ingredients that are to be handled in batches.
also see following:
The following process chain describes how batch management could look when integrated into the relevant SAP component.
Process Flow
Sales & Distribution
A sales order for a material subject to handling in batches is posted.
You have previously agreed with the customer that the batches of the material he is supplied with must meet certain specifications.
you run a batch determination, as well as a batch availability and usability check. The system determines that the sales order cannot be met with the present stock.
a requirement is transferred to production.
Production
A production order (discrete manufacturing) or a process order (process manufacturing) is created for the material to be handled in batches due to the posted sales order.
A batch number can be assigned for the quantity of material to be produced.
As raw materials with certain specifications are required for the manufacture of this material, batch determination is triggered.
If a sufficient quantity of raw material is available, the selected batches are reserved for the production or process order
Purchasing
If there is an insufficient quantity of raw material, the required quantity with the appropriate specifications is ordered from the vendor.
Goods Receipt
Due to the purchase order created by purchasing, the raw material is posted to the stock in quality inspection during goods receipt.
The batch is assigned a batch number.
An inspection lot is created.
Quality Management
The delivered batch of raw material is subject to quality inspection.
The inspection results are recorded, and become available to batch determination as soon as the usage decision has been recorded.
The batch is posted to either restricted or unrestricted stock.
Warehouse Management
The batch of raw material is placed into stock at storage bin level.
Production
Before production commences, an availability check is run as part of batch determination.
The production or process order is released.
A batch number is assigned to the material to be produced.
The shop floor papers (PI sheet, for example) are created.
An order-related inspection lot is created for quality inspection.
The raw materials warehouse is notified of the transport requirement for material provision.
Warehouse Management
Using the transport requirement, the batch of raw materials is provided at the correct time and date.
Production
The manufacturing process is completed, the batch of raw material is consumed.
Inventory management
The goods issue for the batch of raw material required by production is posted.
Quality Management
Inspections are conducted during the manufacturing process.
The inspection results are recorded.
A usage decision is made.
Inventory Management
The batch produced is posted to the stock in quality inspection.
An inspection lot is created.
Quality Management
The batch produced is subject to a quality inspection for final release.
The inspection results are recorded.
A usage decision is made.
Inventory Management
The batch produced is posted to unrestricted-use stock.
Sales & Distribution
During delivery, batch determination is conducted with reference to the sales order.
During batch determination, an availability check is carried out.
Using the inspection results for quality management, inspection certificates can be automatically created.
Inventory Management
The goods issue is posted.
For detailed information on batch management in Inventory Management, refer to the MM - Inventory Management documentation.

Cost(vprs) of free goods with batch managment

Dear Gurus,
I have a problem ahout free goods with batch management.
Cost(VPRS) is not accumulated in billing(free goods is not relevant for billing).
My configurations are shown as below:
Ordered goods (and batch) item category :zta1(copied from tan)
Free goods (and batch) item category :zann (copied from tann) pricing:B ;not relevant for billing;dermination cost:X
copy control(from delivery to billing):
ztan: accumulation cost :X
If I use the material without batch management,Cost of free goods(without batch) is accumulated to main item(ordered goods).
So, what can I do?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Lykin Kan

Hi,
These notes are useful:
SAP Note 1365939 - VPRS logic and Customizing settings in SD
SAP Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing
If you have the problem in the transfer from SD conditions to CO-PA, check if you transfer only invoices to COPA, if you don't invoice the deliveries of free goods, then you don't transfer this 'sales' or costs of 'gifts' to COPA. You can check the customizing of COPA in tcode ORKE (IMG for COPA). SAP Note 74486 - INFO: Overview of consulting notes for CO-PA is a good summary about this issue.
I hope this helps you
Regards,
Eduardo

Error while importing N Accounts to 1 Address with UCM Batch Manager

Hi,
I got a problem with importing Accounts using the UCM Batch Manager. Previous steps were loading the EIM Tables EIM_UCM_ORG and EIM_UCM_ADRPER. To associate addresses I used the column EIM_UCM_ADRPER.PAR_UCM_ACCNT_UID. No errors occured during an Enterprise Integration Mgr jobs to load the data into SDH tables.
The error described below occurs if I have N Accounts using one Address. Example:
h5. Account Name --> City --> Postal Code --> State --> Street
Account #1 --- Munich --- 80331 --- N/A --- Some Street 1
Account #2 --- Munich --- 80331 --- N/A --- Some Street 1
h5. If I try to get the Accounts into the Base tables using the UCM Batch Manager I get the following message from the log file:

I have selected the option
Add new metadata and replace existing objetcs. But it is not importing. Also I tried other options like
1. deleting the existing mapping and tried.
2. Putting the mapping in recycle bin and try.
3. Take it from recycle bin.Even during taking it from recycle it is giving me the following error .
