Batch Management / Split Valuation / FIFO

Dear All,
Here in my client, the requirement is we will purchase a material on 2 different days first with Rs 10 & Qty is 100 Pcs and for second time we purchase same material with Rs 9 & Qty is 100. So i have stock of 200 & MAP of Rs 9.50. Now i want to issue that material to one WBS say qty of 50 pcs, so here our rqmt is system should pick the price of first received GR price ie; Rs 10
How can I achieve this in SAP ? Its just like FIFO method.
We dont have WM here.
Is this possible w/o maintaining BM ?
regds,

Yes, you can achieve it using split valuation. You can maintain one valuation type for each price. No batch management is necessary for this.
If you physically can identify the goods (you can say what was the purchasing price of them), you can choose the corresponding valuation type in system manually when posting goods movement. I think prerequisite of it that goods should be distinguished somehow physically.
If your rule is only to consume them in system as they were received in time and you don't take care of the physicall process (because you cannot distinguish the goods), you can also do it via split valuation and w/o batch management but it's very diummy process. I don't recommend it
Batch management comes in picture (in your scenario) if you want system to determine automatically which goods should be consumed based on FIFO. In this case I recommend to manage the batches not only in system but physically also.
But based on your explanation I have doubts... Please be aware that you should not maintain a separate valuation type for each purchase price (generally)...unless you want to make your life very difficult...

  • High volume of batches with Split valuation - impact on system performance

    Hi!
    I have a client that is intending to load a new material type from their legacy system which will be automatically batch managed with split valuation.  So, Valuation category will be 'x' and the valuation type will also be the batch number as automatically created on GR.
    The concern of the client is the impact on system performance.  Having up to 80,000 batches per material master record (so, 80,000 valuation types will be mainatined with a unique price in the Accounting 1 tab of the MMR) and overall around 1 million batches a year.  I'm not aware of any system performance issues around this myself but there seems to be anecdotal evidence that SAP has advised against using this functionality with high volumes of batches. 
    Could you please let me know of any potential problems I might encounter, having 1 million batches with split valuation may cause?  Logically, this would increase to tens of millions of batches over time until archived off via SARA.
    Many thanks!
    Anthony

    I currently have about 1.5 million batches with split valuation in my system (but it is not the X split), and we archive yearly.
    having many batches for one material ( lets say 1000) causes dramatic performace issues during automatic batch determination.
    it took about 5 minutes until a batch was returned into a delivery. if the user then wants a different batch and has to carry out batch determination again, then he just works for 10 to 15 minutes on one delivery.
    This is mainly caused by the storage location segment of the batches. if one batch gets movedd within a plant thru 3 different locations, then the batch has 3 records in table MCHB. But SAP has a report to reorganize the MCHB table that have zero stock.
    The X split has more effect, it is not only the batch table that makes issues in this case. With the x-split SAP adds an MBEW record (material master valuation view) for each new batch.
    However, if the design is made to get a certain functionality (here valution at batch level),   then you have to get a proper hardware in place that can give you the performance that is needed.

  • Batch and Split valuation

    Hi Friends,
                                      I need bach anagement for all our raw materials and some materials need split valuation ( imported, domestic) based on orizin. When I assign both, valuation type only selectable . But I want the batch control for FIFO. can anybody suggest, how to maintain both options?
    Regards,

    1. split valuation
    Valuation type
    http://www.sap123.com/showthread.php?t=29
    2.batch
    2-a - active batch mgmt in mat master
    2-b- do batch config steps.
    3.  FIFO.
    If Batch Management is active for the materials then use following process;
    First create characteristic in CT04 for Batch Creation Date, under "Addnl data", enter Table Name MCH1 or MCHA (As per Batch Class 022 or 023) and Field ERSDA and save it.
    Assign this characteristics in CL02 in your Batch Class.
    CU70 - Create a Sort Rule and specify the Characteristic of Batch Creation Date and activate "Ascending" indicator.
    Now assign the Sort Rule in MBC1 and keep Selection criteria as "O" for the Strategy type.
    Now do batch determination in MIGO.

  • Batch and split valuation simultaneously

    hello all,
    we have scenarios in which both batch management and split valuation is active.
    we are currently uses STO with stocktransport order by using 351 and 101 movements.
    my question is that
    why the sap system does not allow plant to plant stock transfer by using 303 and 305 movement type when both batch management and split valuation is active?
    is this is a sap standard best practice?
    pls explain in detail.

  • GR for a STO with SD delivery and Batches with split valuation X

    Hello,
    We have a problem with the Goods Receipts for Stock Transfer Orders between plants for materials subject to batch split and split valuation with valuation type X.
    The scenario is very similar to the one explained on this thread: STO:problem with batch valuated material
    When creating the the STO, it automatically sets a valuation type that is not be the appropriate one, we cannot use only one valuation type per position because we can use more than one batch (and valuation type). The outbound delivery has the correct valuation types for each batch and material but when doing the GR at the receiving plant, it only takes into account the valuation type indicated in the STO with no chance to change it.
    I have seen the Note 212532 but we are not working with active ingredients.
    Does anybody know a useful EP to use?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Javier.

    Well, we can change the valuation type before Posting the goods issue of the delivery, but in most cases we need more than one batch (each batch has a different valuation type) for each item (material) in the purchase order.
    We can do this at delivery level but the GR only takes into account the valuation type of the purchase order.
    Thanks.

  • Batch Exist - Split Valuation

    Hi,
    I would like to change 1 material to split valuation but this particular material already had some movement with batches.
    When this material is changed via MM02, there is an error message that batch already exist.
    However, the stock and batches are removed now but the error still exists.
    If i reversed all material documents and intialised this material stock again.
    Will it be able to change the valuation category?
    Thanks in advance for all your help.

    Sally Teo,
    You have to archive batch master records to be able to carry out the change.

  • Remove Split Valuation in Material Master

    Hi,
    We need to remove the Batch Management & Split Valuation Type from Material Masters. I already got notes to guide me in the removal of Batch Management, but i can't seem to find any for removal or split valuation. How do I do this?
    Thanks,
    Jograd

    Hi,
    What1s your problem exactly?
    If your goods have no history you can change your settings in MM02 / MM17(?).
    If your goods have history mass change is questionable...since the goods have to meet certain conditions to be able to change their settings. I think in this case you have to 'repair' them on-by-one...
    e.g.
    - you have to eliminate their stock in previous and current period (MB1A201posting date in the past > after change use MB1A+202 to reset their stock levels)
    - eliminate opem transactional data
    - archive batch master records
    /In MM02 please change the setting > you will get error message > 'Display errors' button will appear > click on it.../

  • Inventory Audit Report - Not followed FIFO and Batch management

    I have created an Item say XYZ, with Batch management and valuation methode FIFO.
    Then I have created a batch say 1 with posting of opening balance transaction with posting date as 1st April 2009.
    Now when I post an A/R Invoice with posting date as 19th May 2009 in which I have selected above batch.
    I have also posted some more purchase transaction for same item before 19th May 2009 that is the date of sales invoice.
    Now when I see Inventory Audit Report, system has not picked up the cost column as per Batch selection in A/R Invoice, and also not as per FIFO, but it has followed the system date of transaction for deriving cost as per FIFO.
    Can anybody throw light on this ?
    BR
    Samir Gandhi

    Dear Samir Gandhi,
    Irrespective of posting date you use for document posting, with FIFO Method system will arrange all the inventory posting in layers with First inventory posting will form the base for first inventory movement out and so on
    Example:
    1st Entry:(Opening Balances)
    posting date : 01/04/09    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 100
    2nd Entry: Purchase
    posting date : 01/05/09    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 105
    3rd Entry: Purchase
    posting date :25/04/09    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 90
    Layers created :
    1.    Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 100
    2.     Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 105
    3.     Item : XYZ    quantity : 5   Unit cost price : 90
    4th Entry : Sales
    Item : XYZ    quantity : 8  
    So here cost of goods sold will be : ( 5x100)+ ( 3x105) = 815
    and it wont be  ( 5x100)+ ( 3x90) =770 if that's what you are expecting

  • View Batch Number and Split Valuation

    Hello Friends,
    I  have materials in my plant with Split Valuation ,I am also maintaining the batch Managemnt for a material aginst each vlauation type in batches.
    My query was how to view the batch number & split valuation  simulatenously , of a material
    Kindly suggest

    If you have activated batch management & Valuation for a material. You can see in Reports by changing Layout & Using Batch & Valuation type Fields.
    For Example Material Document Report MB51
    Run Report a normal --> Go to "Settings" -->Laypot ---> Change Layout --> & select & Insert both Batch & Valuation Type fields.
    See the report here you find both details Batch & Valuation Type(For Split Valuation).
    In report where you have no valuation Type field you can differentiate by No. Range as Batch Has & Defined No. Range & Valuation Type has & manualy customized name.

  • Split valuation issue for  material batch

    Dear Expert,
        I am using batch specific valuation for semi finished material using split valuation category is "X". When creation of production order user assign component batch to  header material in goods receipt tab of production order. Every time system create valuation type for header material with proper value of header material.  But in some cases it only create batch for header material & not valuation type is created since inventory of header material show value 1 (one) rupee which is maintained in material master. I have done analysis but no conclusion is made because all configuration & material master found correct.
       Can anybody face such situation & have solution for it.
    Thanks in advance!!
    Regards,
    Shyam Ghotale

    Hi Shyam,
    What is your Price indicator for semi finished good?
    If it is S-Standard Price. Everytime GR is done Posting will be made based on Standard Price updated in Material master(thro Product Costing CK11n & CK24). So what is purpose of using batch based Split valuation if Invenotry(MAterial+Valuation type) is valued at same Price.
    Assume that you are using Moving avg Price for Semi-finished Goods
    If it is V-Moving avg Price -SAP already reconizes that there would be huge difference in valuation in production order , because of timing difference of Goods issue later than Goods receipt. This is already recomended to 'Not ' Use.
    Batch based split valuation is for Purchased part... It should not be used for Manufactured parts/Semi finished goods.
    It just provides addtional valuation , if Different purchased order has different price.
    There is no value in activating this functionality even for procured parts, if you are not going to use this information further on where each of these differently valuated batch are used.
    First ,identify what business requirement you are trying to address.

  • Batch determination based on fifo during goods issue

    Hi All,
    My client requirement is that system should propose automatic batch during goods issue based on goods receipt.
    I have activated batch wise split valuation.
    I have maintained  characterstics with MCH1 table and HSDAT.
    Assigned to class and class is assigned to stratergy type.
    Created sort sequence and sort rule ascennding.
    Assigned this to stratergy type.
    Maintained condition record also.
    During goods issue to production system is not proposing the batch based on gr date.
    System is not stopping me while making goods issue with other batch.
    Please guide to fix the above issue.
    Regards,
    Venkatesh

    Split valuation has nothing to do with this problem.
    I hope you do not just require the sequence for physical goods issue  to be FIFO because your year end valuation will be FIFO method, as this is not necessary for FIFO valuation.
    IMG > Ligistics general > batch managment > batch determination > Allocation of batch determination schema and activation >...
    here you set the box for batch check active, which means if a batch is entered manually  then this batch is checked against the batch determination and an error is issued if the wrong batch is entered.

  • Split valuation implementation.

    Hi, we are running ECC 6 and recently our Finance department wanted to enable Split Valuation.
    The story started when we purchase 1 item (says Item A) 1 pc with purchase price of $1000, we GR (Goods Received) under Batch 1.
    We also have 1 pc of item A returned from user with value of $1 (after depreciation), and we GR under Batch 2.
    Therefore,in total, we have qty 2 pcs with amt $1001.
    If we issue 1 pc from Batch 1, SAP will take the average price of $500.50 per piece.
    However, when Split Valuation enable, when we issue 1 pc from Batch 1, SAP will take the actual cost of RM1000.
    What puzzle me is to enable Split Valuation in SAP, those historical PO and existing PO that purchased item A need to be deleted as well ?
    Does anybody know what is the logic ?
    Thanks & regards

    split valuation is usually made to care about financial aspects, while batch managment is in general a logistic thing.
    The main purposes of batch managment is to identify a certain receipt, to trace shelf life and quality
    The logistic people will use the stock for production or sales based on the batch characteristics rather than on financial aspects.
    It usually does not matter in logistics if the material was manufactured inhouse of procured externally.
    The finance people are intrested to trace the costs seperate based on the origin.
    If the valuation type plays a role for logistics too, then you can still include it in batch determination to pick the batch accordingly.
    Batch determination is the tool that supports the people to pick the batch according to a defined strategy instead of manual picking base on the info that is shown in MMBE.
    It is SAP design that you will not see the valuation type in MMBE when you use batch management.
    If you want see batch number and valuation type next to each other in a stock list, then you have to do own development 
    Why do you use batch management for these materials? what is the purpose of the batch? split valuation is possible without batch managment, then you will see the valuation type in the batch column of MMBE

  • Split valuation with batch management and project stock

    Dear Gurus,
    I need to combine two following requirements:
    1. split valuation with batch management (valuation type = batch number)
    2. project stock
    These two functionalities work fine separately but not together.
    I receipt PO for material with spiit valuation on a batch level into a project stock. Posting is OK and material document (MSEG table) seems to be OK (batch number, valuation type and project stock are in this table). The problem appears when I want to display material in this valuation type (MM03) or batch (MSC3n). They don't exist!!!  Short investigation showed that during goods receipt table MBEW (valuated stock) was not updated with this valuation type.
    But If PO is receipt into normal stock first and then posted into project stock everything is OK.
    Have you had or heart about such issue? I would appreciate any sugestion. 
    Thsnks in advance.
    Marcin Bernat

    Hi,
    As you already know ,u are using project stock and doing goods receipt against project, stock table QBEW will be updated and not MBEW. MBEW only updates in case of plant stock valuation. If u receive any goods against project stock it does not contribute to plant stock. Irrespective whether your material is managed in split valuation or not, If it is received against project stock it only updates QBEW. There is no need to update MBEW, if u r using split valuation in project. QBEW also have valuation type as another level like MBEW. If u want to see material price for project stock, it can be  seen in QBEW -valuation type and not in mm03.
    As u r receiving goods against project stock this is d only reason QBEW is updated and not MBEW.
    QBEW will store all information like MBEW for batch number, valuation type and project stock assignment.
    Hope it answers your question.

  • Batch Management with Split Valuation

    Hi
    We have a scenario in which we have split valuation for a material and it is also batch managed. In the business process there is regrading step where the material from one valuation type (A) needs to be transferred to a different valuation type (say B). Before regrading each of these grades have different batch nos.
    I tried to do a transfer posting (mvmt type - 309) and put the material (from Val type A to B). It asks for batches for both A and B.
    We can give batch of A (the from material), but we want a new batch to be created for the "to" material.
    How does one go about that?
    Deepak

    Deepak
    I think that you will find that the batch managemenmt is either internal or external at either plant or material level and so if you are changing the valuation in the same plant I do not think that the system will allocate a batch number for you and that you will have to tell the system what the batch is.
    I hope that this helps

  • Material maintained in split valuation and batch management

    Dear Seniors,
      I have maintained a material with both split valuation and batch management. If i check in MMBE, only batch management is getting preference. Valuation type is not coming. Why is it so ? why maintaining both is not possible in SAP ??? kindly explain me please.
    Regards,
    JanaMM

    If you  Mantain both Split valuation as well as batch mgmt for  a material, then  all stock  reports will show  "Batch "  and  Not valuation type  since  batch  is relevant to inventory  mgmt  and split valuation is relevant for account determination and valuation. ,  the only  report which  wil show you both  is BMBC(batch info cockpit).
    You  can however run MB5B  w.r.t  valuation type in the input screen.
    In such cases , The  Valuation Type  forms a part of the batch master which  you can see in MSC3N .
