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.

    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 Indicator not getting set for material master

    Hi,
    In one of the material we need to mark the Batch Management Indicator in Material MAster. We had removed all the stocks from the material. But still we are getting error, Stock exists for the material in Plant XXX and Sloc YYY.
    I checked in MARD table and MMBE that for this maaterial there are no stock for said Sloca and Plant.
    One thing which I noticed in the Material Master and MARDH table that there exists some stock in Previous persiod for the said Sloc and Plant.
    Need to know is this error is due to stock shown in previous period. Why system is checking the previous period stock.
    How can we resolve our issue and check this Indicator.
    Please let me know as earliest as possible.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Refer OSS Note 30656 - Change base unit of measure/batch mngt requirement
    Following are the details of this note;
    Symptom
    When maintaining a material master record, you change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator or the valuation category. The system then tells you that this change is not possible since stocks still exist. However, no stocks are shown for the material in the stock overview.
    Reason and Prerequisites
    The message that stocks still exist refers not only to stocks in the current period, but also to stocks in the previous period.
    The reason for checking previous period stocks is that postings can also be made to the previous period when entering goods movements. This would result in inconsistencies if the base unit of measure had meanwhile been changed.
    Solution
    Please check whether stocks still exist for the previous period by displaying, for example, the plant stock view or storage location stock view of the material. You do this by selecting "Extras -> Previous period -> Prev. pd SLoc. stock or Prev. pd plant stock".
    If previous period stocks exist, you 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).
    You can now try again to change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator.
    Since the posting of the previous period values to zero is identical with posting to the stocks of the current period, you should reverse the above stock postings (i.e. the stock from the previous period should be booked in again) to make sure that the stock values from the previous and the current periods correspond to the state before the change. Please note, however, that the postings are then carried out using the changed master data from the current period (e.g. account determination, etc.)

    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

    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.

    Hello,

    hi..
    try thisout..
    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 works.
    Thanks..

  • Batch management indicator not able to turned on for a material

    Hi all,
    We are trying to turn on the batch indicator at material master for which we had inventory in the past. But all the open PO lines, inbound deliveries, open transfer requirements (we have WM too) were deleted. Earlier we were getting under "DISPLAY ERRORs" stock is present in plant level along with open TRs. So, TRs were deleted using LB02 and open PO lines were marked for deletion. No stock is available in MD04, MMBE & LS24.
    -  I read that previous period posting maybe affecting it but how do I see that as one of the other thread didn't clarify how to determine previous period stock.
    -  Also, another issue might be due to archiving issue. I am planning to perform SARA for MM_SPSTOCK. Is that requried?
    -  Finally, we had another part for which we deleted TRs in the system but didn't remove PO LINES. But system allowed us to updated the BATCH INDICATOR at mm level? Is there an inconsistency??
    Thanks.

    We used the approach in testing in it worked.. but for some reason the transaction is not working in PRODUCTION. I am not able to perform 551 movement type in production system as I keep getting error "Number range is not maintained for the FI document type". But the document type which should be proposed is already maintained in NRIV table. This error doesn't come if instead of doing MIGO with 551 in previous period (date 09/25/09) we use current period then I get the document. We have technical team looking into this as we have lot of customization that determines the FI document type which I think is not working when we try for the previous period.
    Any one seen similar issues? I am closing the thread as I think it is the code error and once that is fixed we should be able to perform scrapping in previous period.
    If this doesn't work I will try the OSS note program RVBCONVMAT2BM.
    Thanks all for inputs.

  • Problem with batch management indicator

    Hi Gurus,
    I have an issue with batch management.
    There is one material which was not batch managed. The requirement was to make it batch managed. There were no open purchase orders and the only thing pending was the stock in the present and previous periods. The stock quantity in the previous period  and the present period matched(470 Kg). I opened the previous posting period, used movement type 551 and scrapped the stock. There was zero stock for the current period and the present period.
    I changed the batch management indicator successfully. Now the issue is whil i am trying to cancel the material document
    1. Now that the material is batch managed, whie trying to cancel the material document using MIGO, the system prompts  for a batch to be entered. But the batch field is greyed out and i am not able to enter a batch
    2.  I have tried to cancel the material document using MBST and MIGO. The sytem prompts for a batch to be entered but not allowing me to do so as the batch field is greyed out.
    Any pointers will be appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Sajin

    Hi Sajin,
    What is a reason to cancel a material document? When was that material document created? Before or after flagging the indicator in the material master?

  • Problems with existing stock and batch management indicator

    Hi,
    We would like to set the batch management indicator for a material.
    However, there is stock on the material for the given plant.
    The different stock categories for the plant/material combination are as follows (according to transaction MMBE):
    Unrestricted use 150
    Reserved (for production ordeers) 42
    Open order qty (incoming PO) 100
    "When I try to set the batch management indicator in MM02 I receive the following error message:
    Material Master Maintenance
    The batch management requirement cannot
    be changed for the following reasons:
    Stocks already exist at plant level.
      Plant SLoc
       PL01 SL01
       PL01 SL02"
    Can someone please guide me in how to remove the stock and the reservations, so that we can set the batch management indicator? Does the reservations of stock have any impact (there are reservations for 5 different production orders for this material)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Lars

    in plant A, you have to add 21 in current period (e.g. with 202 movement), then you issue 171 in previous period. with 201. Result: both periods are zero.
    plant B, just issue 17 in previous period with 201.
    for Plant A   171 with movement 202 back into stock with previous period date, and subsequently 21 goods issue using 201 in current period.
    for plant B: 17 with movement 202 and previous period date.

  • 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

    Please check this answered link:
    Batch-classification view
    If you want classify a batch, then you should have maintained the batch classification in material master which is either class 022 or class 023 (depends on your batch level set in cusotmizing). The material class 001 has no impact on the batch classifcition, it is what it is: a classification for the material.

  • 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..
