Batch management with transactions

Dear Gurus,
My user has a material which has last transaction in May-2014 and wants to activate the batch management.
I know the total stock and total value have to be removed by any means before activating the BM.
My question is: Whether my work-around will have any bad consequence that you can think of?
My work-around:
As said, last trx is in May-2014. After that all stock/value are cleared.
1. mmpv, change period to July-2014 (with some trick on escaping date check)
2. activate the batch management
3. mmrv - check "allow post to previous period (June-2014)
So that user can continue to post in June (no need to wait a full month)

1. Yes. Its the most sensitive work for a MM consultant. The main caution is that, if you open a posting period, its not a easy job to re-open the previous period (You may have to contact SAP for that).
2. Right. the period is not stored anywhere in table. Only posting date is stored in various table.
3. See, SAP allows only 2 months for posting a Material document number.
Normally When you open a period from MMPV, then the current period will open.
Now if you missed some to post a document in previous month, then SAP has given the option, that you can only post on previous month.
Now as per your requirement.
If you open the period July, then you can only post any document in July and previous month as June.
You will never can't able to post any document in month May.
As it is not 6th June, in meantime, if your organization want to post a document in May, then what can you do?
You can do nothing because you can reopen the month May. Forcefully you have top post the document in June month.
To avoid this, I have said take a proper document to open posting period in advance. It will be much better for you.

  • Batch managment with classification

    Hi,
    I have material with batch and classification. Material master have base unit KG, but I need second unit PC or M and other parameters of material. (coefficient between KG and PC is not constant).
    I give to classification attributes fields: quantity, length. width, ...
    In goods receipt I input batch with classification (quantity, length. width, ...)
    Where can I see batch balance with classification ?
    Is possible recalculate attribute of classification quantity after goods issue or how I can manage balance of quantity?
    thank
    beto

    Hi,
    Once you fix the classification, i don't think you can recalculate the classification, what do you mean by batch balance?

  • Listing Batch Number with transaction detail

    We use the Sales Order Usage Indicator to designate a Site location for order materials we supply to customers' building sites and I've written a report that lists component material details used in the Production orders created per sales order for each of those sites. What the user department would like is for the batch managed items detail to include the batch number associated with the material.
    However, I'm finding it difficult to find which file this batch number data is actually in. I've found some batch numbers in RESB (which I use to get the component material number and configured data) but out of the millions of records in there only about 66 have the batch number included in the record. The other files I've checked that include the batch number field do not have any data in it. It is at component level that the batch field should have a batch number included.
    Can anyone please advise as to where I can find the relevant data to complete my report.
    FYI, I start with getting Sales Orders with selected Usage Ind in from VBAK, then pick up relevant sales order item data from VBAP with joins to MARA and MAKT for basic material data.
    I get the Production order number from AUFK using the Sales order number and then I chain to RESB for the component material data using the Productioon order number. I pick up the batch field from RESB at this time but so far it has always been empty.
    Thanks very much

    Thanks, Jurgen
    I was hoping to get away without using the MSEG file because of the size implications and resultant search time - as per BSEG on the financial side of things. 
    Anyway thanks for the confirmation of what I need. Much appreciated.

  • Batch Input with transaction ME58

    Hello SAP:
    We are trying to do a Batch Input Session with transaction ME58
    (Creating Service Entry Sheets) by using a FrameWork Order.
    After the batch input selects the purchase order and mark all
    the requisitions related with that order and confirms the selection,
    the system calls program SAPLMLSR dynpro 400, where the tab "Basic
    Data" appears and the error "Make an entry in all required fields"
    (00 055) is displayed. Althought we had put all the obligatory
    fields required by the Batch Input in that particular
    screen SAPLMLSR - 400 (we also tried with subscreen 410), the fields
    indicated in the Batch Input were lost.
    It seems the flow control of the Batch Input is lost because of the
    error message 00 055.
    Thank You - And we will be waiting for Your answer.
    Frinee Paredes

    Hi Christian!!
    The error that is displayed is because of a mandatory field, the problem is that it appears before the screen is displayed, I mean the validation occurs before I can input data.
    It's very interesting what you said about enjoy transactions and there might be the problem, a few minutes ago, while debugging transaction ME58, I found that it calls function module MS_SERVICE_ENTRY2, which calls transaction ML81N, which I think is an enjoy sap transaction, I guess I'm in a big trouble because I've already looked for a BAPI and it seems there aren't any.
    If you like to reproduce the error you could record transaction ME58 with transaction SHDB,you would need a framework order (FO) for the selection screen and purchase requisitions (PO) created asociated to that FO.
    What I want to do with ME58 is to run a job periodically which creates service entry sheets with the FO and PR as input.
    Thank you very much!!

  • Batch Management with Moving Average Price

    Hi all,
    I got a question here. If we use batch management in SAP with our price control as 'V' (MAP for Moving Average Price), and we do good issue out by batch, will the system credit my stock based on MAP value or the actual value (actual PO price by batch)

    Any kind soul can helps me??

  • 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

  • IS Retail - batch management with structured articles

    I want to deal with the "display article" with batches and its components without it.
    My idea is to track the batches at display level, thus in the moment of GR at store (OR manually post GR), split this display with mov type 319 converting it into the components. Later the POS will sell the components one by one without batch.
    In the future I can track Display - Batch - Store with a report.
    I can't split the display at wherever center with MIGO and mov 319. Customizing has been done for strucured articles focus in art category 12 (Display).
    Help and thanks

    Hi Heather,
    assuming that the procuremnt is done by the DC only . you can resolve by activating batches only at the DC level . i:e Batches  are not activated at the store level..

  • Batch management with Inventry management .

    Hi dear all,
    At the time of GR against Purchase Order , i want to copy characteristic in batch from a table .pls help me to map this requirement .
    Regards
    Prerna

    A batch determination does not populate characteristic values, it just uses characteristic values that are available in your batch record.
    the valuation of the batch characteristic is usually done when you create the batch during a goods receipt.
    You have to have the batch classification (class 022 or 023) in your material master, from there it is copied and valuated when you create a batch for this material.

  • VPRS with Free Goods and Batch Management

    Dear Experts,
    I have a problem on the products billing with Free Goods.
    I will explain this, before the implementation of Batch Management (with batch split) the billing document show the condition VPRS on the main item (TAN) and the free goods item (TANN).
    Now, when the Batch Management was up, the condition VPRS disappeared on the TANN item, I checked the order and it does shows the VPRS conditions. When i check the conditions on the billing document it shows me the following message when i check the VPRS condition
    Condition ignored (requirement 004 not fulfilled)
    Then I tried to debug the price determination and i realized that only on the TANN position the field komp-evrwr (price determination on the item category) is not 'X'.
    Aditionally i can mention thar the batch split item category is defined as YG05.
    Actually i only managed to show the cumulated VPRS cost on the main item.
    Please someone say to me if this correct or there is a way to put the VPRS on the free goods item.
    Javier Sandoval Vera

    Hi Javier,
    what do you do with the VPRS in your calculation- system ?
    If you need i, you delete the requirement 004 in your calculation -system.
    on the other hand, you can change TANN to komp-evrwr (price determination on the item category) is  'X'. Then you have to add an 100% rabate for TANN and the resukt will be free good.

  • Classification, Batch Management, Serialisation Profile along with QM

    Hi All GURUS,
            I have very interesting scenario to work on. My client requirement is to identify produciton lot seperately and maintain production data seperately for each production lot. Also for some materials client requires to maintain unit/pc specific data like weight within each production lot. Apart from this they want to classify all SFG and FG on the basis of characteristics. And some of these classification characterstics gets its value from result recording of inspection characteristics of QM module.
          What I consider as possible option is to use Batch Management + Serialisation + Classification functionality and to link Classification characteristics to Inspection Characteristics of QM.
          But I dont know whether this is possible or not and how to do it. So, I request you all GURU to validate this and guide me in doing this, how to link master data and configuration part.
          Help at your earliest convenience is solicited.
    Thanks and regards.

    Hi,
    You can use batch management with serialisation. Also as mentioned by you need to connect insp char with batch chars.
    I am not sure what you mean by lot here. But as you said it should be a batch. so you can trace all the production lots by batch. this means, you need to have a batch for each production order. after prodn this batch should go to quality. Have insp plan for GR from production Material master QM view insp type 04. may be you will also need insp type 03 ( inprocess insp) for FG or SFG. 
    Think these lines , then you will be able to cover all the aspects of the process. DO test each and every process & see whether requirements are getting fulfilled or not.
    For any further query you can contact me.

  • Batch Management Configuration

    Hi,
    While configuring the Batch Management through  Transaction u2013 OMCT.
    First  at Batch Level, selected the radio button as Material Level and Saved but Request is not created.
    Second at Batch Status Management, selected radio button as Batch Status Management active and saved but the Request is not created.
    We would like to know is Batch Management activation is Client specific?
    Batch Level field is disabled and we are not able to see the settings.
    Request is created only when the activated when Plant with Batch Status Management.
    Need suggestions on this please.

    Activation of Batch Status Management is not transported and needs to be set
    up in each environment separately. As it is one time job in general and is a
    sensitive functionality, it will not be transported. In my previous
    implementation, the manual config is opened to mark this status.

  • Batch Management and Others

    Dear Experts,
    Client system is already having some materials.From these 100 materials ,we would block the 99 materials and the rest material(say X) will be managed in batches.To do this I have thought in the following way:
    1.Posting stock to the  the material X through material to material transfer.
    2.Activate deletion flag to the 99 materials and change the deletion flag message type to Error message from the warning.
    3.Blocking the transaction of these materials for two to three hours.
    4.Create a new material and manage it with batch with classification.(say Y)
    5.Material to material stock tranfer from X to Y.
    6.Change the BOMs where these 99 materials were used.
    7.Material assignment to routing operation does not require change as components were assigned to operation through default first operation,which will be managed by the system itself when I change the BOM.
    Anything more I require to plan..Pl advice
    Regards
    Reshmi

    Dear Rupesh,
    My req is I would like to remove the redundant materials, instead I shall manage these materials through a single material by batch management with classification.but the materials are already in the system without batch management.So until or unless i remove the stock ,the material can not be batch managed.And to remove all materials by a single materials I require the existing stocks of the materials to be updated with the single material,which can be done through material to material transfer.I think I have cleared the issue.

  • Batch Management & Reporting

    HI ALL Experts,
    USING SAP 2007 B PL17
    I am maintaing Inventory by batch management with every transaction.

    Made A/R INvoice + Payment from that location with same batch XYZ
    Did inventory transfer from X location to Y location 1 Nos with same batch XYZ
    which is not possible but batch report and inventory audit reports showing the quantity balance minus 1
    Can anybody tell me what are the cause for the same
    Thanks

    Hi rahul/ Prasanna
    Please do following activity
    Create item with managment method Batch method / Every Transaction.
    item having opening balance with 10 Nos with certain batch eg XYZ.
    inventory transfer to another warehouse with quantity 10 Nos. (system will ask you which batch) select the batch and add the document.
    From that warehouse make a A/R Invoice + Payment with same batch quantity is 10 nos.
    Now stock must be zero of that perticular item
    Now make one mmore document inventory Transfer with 1 quantity. the system should ask from which batch ( now in my scenario zero stock) how system can accept this last entry and showing in batch report in negative and in audit report also in negetive.
    I hope i had cleared my points in detail
    No matter whether you block the negative inventory or not.

  • Item not relevant for billing - Batch Management

    Dear Experts,
    I'm testing the Batch Management with the configuration detalied on the Building Block - J19 from SAP. So I've created a new item position called YG05 which is working for the batch spliting.
    But now the problem is that when I'm billing with Tx VF04 or VF01 it gives me the following error and doesn't create the invoice.
    VF 044 The item is not relevant for billing
    Now, the problem fixes when I go to Tx VTFL and change the position TAN in the field Copying Requirements from 004 Delivery - Related Item to 003 Header / Dlv. - Related. I can do the billing, but when the system print the invoices it print for each position type, I mean this.
    "Before the system printed 3 copies of the invoice, but now not only print the 3 copies, now it send printing the 3 copies and also 3 blank pages (i assume that those are por the YG05 position"
    If anyone have and advice if the fix i did first is correct.... And also have a solution for this last problem. Please reply...

  • Unable to tick batch management

    Dear Expert,
    I unable to tick batch management with error:"Consignment stocks already exist at the customer's."
    However,current/previous stock is zero and no open document in MD04.
    How solve the error?
    Thank you

    MSKU table holds the customer consignment stock.
    Is that really zero there?
    stock  has to be zero  in current and previous period, as you can post to these 2 periods with MM in general.
    If both periods are zero, then youhave no other chance than archiving the special stock using SARA - object MM_SPSTOCK.
    this requires customizing of archives.
