Batch Management Requirement - SD document

hi all,
I am trying to activate batch management in MM02. But it has error:
SD documents exist (orders or deliveries) that have not yet been processed or that have been processed only in part.
It lists two SD document: one SO and one DN
This is the only error the system gives. I am sure the material has no inventory in previous period and this period and no other outstanding document
Then I changed the DN qty to 0, posted it
And I changed the SO qty to 0 or reject the SO item
But system keep giving the above error
Could anyone advise?
Thanks

hai;
First you have to cancel the DN .Take VL09.Reverse the goods movement then take VL02 select the document and delete the items from it and save.
Then goto VA02 and type the SO number and delete the item .and save it.
Now the stock will be greater than zero.
Once again make it as zero and activate the batch management.
Hope this will serve you better
regards.

Note 533276 - Setting the batch management requirement indicator

Hi;
we have found an oss note for setting the batch management requirement
indicator.. but the program mentioned in oss note does't exist in the
attachement part.. we urgently need your help..
how can we find program RVBCONVMAT2BM?
Note 533276 - Setting the batch management requirement indicator
Solution
Here, the standard procedure is to clear stocks of the current and the previous period as well as to complete the open documents. Note 30656 provides further information about this.
Alternatively, in the case of a large data or document volume, you can use a conversion report from the batch development that sets the batch management requirement indicator without the necessity of manual preliminary works such as the posting of the stocks or the completion of open documents.

Hi,
You also need to check for open sales order, open production orders, open WM transfer orders and open deliveries. These documents needs to be closed/completed.

Batch management requirement indicator

Dear experts,
Due to an error during test-conversion, I have a number of materials that should have gotten the Batch management requirement indicator. At this moment the system does not allow me to change this indicator, because it detects stockpostings.
Since it is an inactive client I have the possibility to change whatever is needed, so I removed the stock. But apparantly this is not enough.
Does anyone know a way to enforce the Batch management requirement indicator?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards, AJ

FIFO Valuation - Is Batch Managed Required?

Hi ,
I need help to confirm to me if we are planning to use FIFO valuation, must the material be batch managed if needs to use this functionality? Appreciate clarification from the experienced Gurus in FIFO valuation. Thanks!
Regards,
Michelle Low

Hello
I have gone thru couple documents and SAP help, there is no requirement of Batch management for FIFO.
System will carry out FIFO valuation based on goods receipts,material document internally. I have tested some steps in FIFO scenario as explained in SAP Help and no meesages on Batch requiremnt requirement.
Lets wait for some moe time for FIFO valuation expert posts.

Batch Management Requirement

Dear Experts,
We are going for Batch management in our rollout project.
Scenario we wil be as follows:
1] SFG material need to be handled by Batch
2] FG material need to be handled by Batch
3] We want the Batch output of SFG to FG
Ex: let say we have manufactured SFG as ABCD123, this need to be processed again become FG at this time also we want batch as ABCD123.
How this can be achived & which is better either internal OR external.
Please suggest
Thanks
DN

Hi Don,
First things first both the SFG and the FG need to have the Batch Management indicator activated in the material master. Secondly in SPRO you can choose to activate Internal batch number assignment or leave it at default inactive status. Thirdly maintain the BOM for FG and SFG. When you are manufacturing or procuring the SFG you have the freedon of mentioning the Batch number in the goods receipt tab of the production order or in the batch tab of the MIGO transaction.
Once the SFG is in stock you can create a similar batch for the FG at the time of production and this is because both these materials are different and can be produced or procured or sold independently. So the batch becomes material specific.
I hope the solution was helpful
Thanks and Regards

I want to manage my inventory behalf of my Coil Grade Specification.
in SAP By Design, we have identified stock, I am looking for an option to add 28-30 more fields in Identified Stock Screen , which will reflect into my Inbound Delivery and Goods Receipt and Production, because as per my client requirement I want these more fields on the entry screen ,in this I also want an option of printing so that I can take a preview of it.
I am working to solve this issue with SDK ,We have created one business Object MTC where one complete line item denote with 28-30 fields and the business object instance is Identified Stock ID, I want this Identified Stock Id behave as SAP ByDesign System Identified Stock ID,
we have identified Stock ID in Inbound, Outbound and Production but there we have one pop with 2-3 fields only I tried to Map my Business Object Instance ID which is Identified Stock ID. The Purpose here for this , Barcode will work in ByDesign System Identified Stock and Product ID basis IN-OUT. When I am receiving goods my client want to use Barcode Machine and the same for Outbound Delivery and he want to manage this process through Bar Code because of his Product Grade is same but same each product have different 25-30 specification which can be done through Identified Stock ID.
In ByDesign system we have only Pop Up with 3-4 fields for your reference I am attaching screen shot here as per the Customized solution possible which I am working its not allowing me map my Business Object Instance ID to System Identified Stock ID because of PSM Issue.

SAP provided two reports which can update or remove BATCH MANAGEMENT INDICATOR and BATCHES without removing the material stocks and documents. We need to close only open physical inventory documents.
The below reports update, all relevant documents based on batch activation/de-activation:
u2022 RVBCONVMAT2BM - Sets the batch management requirement indicator.
u2022 RVBREVMATBM - Removes the batch management requirement indicator
But,these programns will not be available in standard SAP,they has to procured form SAP.

To deactivate Batch Management

Hi,
Requirement: To deactivate Batch management for a material in plant.
I have already done the following:
1: Checked the Status of Article in MMBE for total batches of the article.
2: There are no open Purchase Order (Checked Table EKPO as well as ME2M)
3: There are no Purchase Requisitions. (Checked Table EBAN)
4: There is no Stock in Transit MB5T
5: There is no Plant availability Stock MB53
6: There is no Reservation MB25
7: Previous Period Stock is zero. Use MM03 with Plant Stock & Storage Loc. View. Both previous and current period stock is 0.
8: No Stock requirement exists (MD04)
9: The Batch Corresponding to the plant for the article is set for deletion indicator
(MSC2N)
But after all these when I uncheck 'Batch Management' in Purchasing tab of MM02, i get the message :
The batch management requirement cannot
be changed for the following reasons:
Batches already exist.
Please help advise

Hi,
Please, delete any open documents and reverse any material movements on this material. If batches - even zero stock batches - are still assigned to the material, delete them and reorganize the tables MCH1, MCHA and MCHB. At this point the flag can be changed, also consider that :
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 MSC2N. )
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 can help

Mauro

Converting from non-batch to batch management

Hi guys,
Can you tell what is the best strategy to convert a system from non-batch managed to batch managed? Batch management should have been implemented from the start, but my client just realized that mistake. This is knowing that we already have inventory and all kinds of transactional data: purchase orders, sales order, production orders...
I am looking for the less painfull strategy, as detailed as possible.
Thank you.
Fotso

HI,
Hi,
Procedure to be followed to activate Batch Management for Materials: -
1. Mark Deletion Flag for all the Open Purchasing Documents of Materials
2. Technical Completion of Production Orders to cancel open Reservations of Materials
3. Create a Dummy Material for Material (Batch Management Active)
4. Generate details of Unrestricted Stock of Materials as per Bill of Entry
5. Transfer Stock of Materials to Dummy Material using Movement Type "309" in previous period (Stock will be transferred Bill of Entry wise)
6. Activate batch Management for Materials
7. Transfer Stock from Dummy Material to Materials
Note: -
1) If there is stock available in previous period and also stock available in current period then Transfer Posting from Material to Material can be done directly in previous period. (Comparison of Tables MARD and MARDH)
2) In case if there is stock in previous period but no stock available in current period then we have to post an initial stock entry using movement type "561" to generate stock in current period (Here Quantity = Stock in Previous period)
3) Reverse these Material Documents in previous period
There are several SAP notes that give some useful information:
30656 Change base unit of measure/batch mngt requirement
533383 Resetting batch management requirement
533377 Conversion of batch level
I hope this helps!
Thanks & Regards,

UNCHECK BATCH MANAGEMENT INDICATOR

Hello all, I cannot find an appropriate Note onto OSS to solve this issue and hope you could provide some ideas over it.
By error on initial upload we've flagged the 'batch-mgmnt' box (MARC-XCHAR) for few materials on period 12-06. These materials has received movements in periods 12-06, 01-07, 02-07... and unwanted batches were generated. Our jobs for consumptions are becoming in error because we didn't prepare them for managing batches (we do not use batches even). There is a way to uncheck the 'batch-mgmnt' box in MM02?
We already leave the stocks in 'zero'. We deleted & archived the batches. But when try to uncheck the box the error message emerges again: there are still batches.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Module MM Backoffice,
I think this will be helpful.
Reward if answer is helpful.
Arif Mansuri
Please find here with the OSS solution as follow:
1) Follow OSS note 30656 which explains explains following:
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.
Cause 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.
Now reverse the stock postings above if necessary.
2)
Do MM02, erase batch management flag, then save. System creates message that you should look into the error log.
Maybe you havent realized that in this case a new button appears next to the additional data button called ERROR LOG. Click this button and SAP tells you why it does not allow to erase the batch management flag.
Further see OSS notes 533383 and 30656
Consider creating a new material instead of changing the batch management flag, it is much easier and faster than doing all the necessary steps like closing open docuements, and archiving some objects to be able to do the change.

Easy or flexible ways to deactivate the batch management!

Hi Experts,
In our company , we want to deactivate the batch management for some materials.
I know it is not an easy way to do this according to the SAP Note 30656:
to clear stocks of the current and the previous period as well as to complete the open documents.
It is very painful to do the standard procedure as SAP provide.
I want if there is some easy or flexible ways to deactivate the batch management.
For example , to change for new material number.
Or we can set the batch number value to a fixed value, for example "1234" for all these materils.
Are there any other easy or flexible ways to deactivate the batch management?
May be do not need toremove the batch management indicator in the material master?
Just make it simple for all the goods movement that with batch number value input?
Thanks for any reply!

Dont just state a program name without giving the warnings and further explanations from the OSS note:
533276 - Setting the batch management requirement indicator
533383 - Deselecting the batch management requirement indicator
Symptom
The attempt to set the batch management requirement indicator for a material in the material master record maintenance fails because there are stocks or documents that are not completed such as production orders, sales orders, deliveries or WM transfer orders.
Solution
Here, the standard procedure is to clear stocks of the current and the previous period as well as to complete the open documents. Note 30656 provides further information about this.
Alternatively, in the case of a large data or document volume, you can use a conversion report from the batch development that sets the batch management requirement indicator without the necessity of manual preliminary works such as the posting of the stocks or the completion of open documents.
We have developed the main features of this report, but it must be adjusted to individual business processes in a customer project that is subject to charges.
