Batch vs Valuation Type

Hi all,
Can anybody please explain me clear difference between BATCH and VALUATION TYPE in PO? What is the link between them ?
And
what is this Package number in ESLL(Lines of Service Package) table ??
Helpful answers will be certainly rewarded
Thanks & Regards,

as batch is the smallest unit to segregate one material for various reasons, such as quality grade of a production. it can have its own shelf life.
valuation type is a subdivision of a valuation of a material.
this can be by quality:
High quality
Average quality
Inferior quality
or by origin:
domestic
foreign
internal vendor
external vendor
If a material is split valuated but not batch management, then SAP shows the valuation type in the batch number field in the stock overview (that is what is driving many people crazy) SAP even creates a batch record for this valuation type in back ground (can then be seen in tables MCHA/MCH1)
If your material is batch managed and split valuated, then the valuation type is stored within the batch record in an extra field.

Fields in MIGO - BATCH and Valuation Type

Hi all,
I would like to know the meaning of the following fields in MIGO.
BATCH - Charg
Valuation Type - Bwtar
Which is the impact of each field?
Should they have the same value in TRA MIGO?
Which means that only the BATCH field is entered and the Valuation Type empty?
Thanks you very much!!

valuation type comes into the game If a material is subject to split valuation.
you can for example split the valuation based on origin, e.g. internal produced and external procured.
this is more a financial thing.
the batch is the level to segragate the stock of a material. e.g. each GR can be a new batch. so you can manage the stock by FIFO rules and by shelf life. this is a logistics thing.
Both can be used on their own, or together.
if you want manage your materials by batches, but dont need split valuation, then you only have to take care about batch number, and the valuation type field in the batch record stays empty.
if you manage material by batch and you use split valuation, then the split valuation type is a mandatory field in the batch record and you may have to enter batch and valuation type, but usually the valution type is defaulted from customizing.
The tricky part is if you only use split valuation, because then the valuation type becomes the batch number. this is sometimes a bit confusing.

Defaulting batch and valuation type for a specific division for tcode me21n

Hi
I would like to default the valuation type and batch for a specific division while creating the PO.
Kindly let me know if there is any user exit for this.
Thanks & Regards
Bhagya

Hi .
Actually my requirement is while you are creating PO, the value say 'ABC' must be defaulted both in Batch and valuation type but when change that to 'DEF' it should allow you.. means you should be able to modify the batch and valuation type fields. I can be kept empty also.
I tried using field exit to default Batch and valuation type, but it does not work if the batch is empty.
If I use the BADI you mentioned what are import and export parameters and how do I code to meet my requirement.
Kindly let me know.
I will definitely reward points if it works.
Thanks in advance

BATCH and VALUATION TYPE

Dear All,
Can anyone, please explain me clearly the difference between BATCH and VALUATION TYPE in MIGO and PO screen?
What is the link between them ? pls explain in detail....
Edited by: Raju on Nov 17, 2008 8:02 AM

Hi,
There's a link between both which is the indicator "Valuation type is set automatically". It can be set at the global or local (plant) valuation category.
When you set this indicator, it means that each batch itself represents a valuation type (individual batch valuation). In other words, a valuation record is created automatically for each batch at Goods Receipt.
-Edited-
Example scenario:
I activated batch management at plant level for material A and also activated split valuation. For this material, I produced the first batch (100pieces per batch) with certain characteristics. This batch is valuated at $100 per piece. I do a Goods Receipt against Production Order.
Then my next production batch has better characteristics, so I wanted to valuate a piece slightly higher. With the indicator "Valuation type is set automatically", I can set a different price for this second batch during Goods Receipt from production (because a different valuation type is created for this).
So I make use of batch management to manage my different sets of 100 pieces due to the slight different characteristics during each production run. I also make use of split valuation and the above indicator to valuate each batch separately.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

WM: Batch and valuation Type

Hi,
Is it possible to maintain a material having batch number as wel as valuation type in warehouse.
Can you guide us for relevant SAP documentation.
Thanks in Advance
Prashant

You can have a material master with split valuation and batch management.
In this case the valuation type is only a field in the batch master record.
In WM stock oveviews and other document you will only see the batch number, not the valuation type.

MB52 batch and valuation type

Dear All,
I have a material for which valuation type and batch management is active. After goods receipt, when i check MB52, i can only see the batch number but no valuation type. So is there any other report that i can see the stock for both valuation type and batch ?
Thanks in advance..
Best regards,

there is no such report, you need to create a customized MB52 report
Only if you would not have batch managment activated, then you could directly see the valuation type in MB52.
Anyhow, have a look into MB5L report, it has the valuation type, but may have other issues, if you execute it just for one material

How to check valuation type and batch during creating PO

Hi All,
can every body help me please,
I have a material which manage by batch and valuation type.
When user create purchase order using that kind of material I want the system checking field batch and valuation type. If they not match then system will give an error message.
What should I do to make the system checking that fields?

Hi Ely
Fortunately, you do not need to do any coding or need to use exits.
You can configure the screen layout settings as follows:
1) SPRO->MM->Purchasing->Purchase Order-> Define screen layout at doc level
2) Double click on the key-NBF (most probably you are using this for your PO document type. If you are using any other field layout key..make changes there)
3) Double click on GR/IR control .
4) Make Valuation Type & Batch fields 'Required'.
System works intelligently here. If the material is batch managed, system expects you to enter a batch in PO. If the material has split valuation, then system also expects you to enter valuation type. FOr other materials, system does not expect you to enter batch or valuation type.

Automatic deletion batch valuation type from PO after cancellation GR

Hi, colleagues
I need your guidance.
The problem is:
We have batch management with different valuation types.(valuation type is connected to batch) In mm03 valuation category is "X".
Process:We make standart Purchase order, then MIGO where we put batch(with automatic valuation type for this batch) then we make cancellation of GR and try to make GR with another batch and valuation type. System gives mistake: m7043.
As I understand, when we made GR firstly, system have written this valuation type into PO and the following GR for this PO can be only with this valuation type.
Have you any ideas how to make automatic! deletion of valuation type from PO after cancellation? Fields batch and valuation type in PO are hidden and users must not change it in PO.
Mabe there are some notes or you can provide some other ideas?
Thanks in advance
Regards

No. In standard, if you will do GR for batch number XXX, then system will not update the same batch number in PO (neither batch field nor valuation type field).
At the time of making PO leave the batch and valuation type field as blank.
Then check. I've checked the scenario. System is allowing to do GR with other batch number.

Changing of the valuation type when the price is changed in Purchase ord

Hi friends
we are using the batch management at material level.
Now the batch is created on the following characteristics
1) Date of receipt of material
2) Date of production of material.
Now the batch no and valuation type is coming same if we post the 105 with same qty of 103. if the qty is split for 105 then the batch and valuation type is getting different numbers.
Now we have entered the new characteristic as price of item and we have to work the batchmanagement on both. so
1) can we do the same in the existing class by adding new characteristics.
2) which table and field to be used for making the characteristic.
3) what solution to be proposed for existing batches.
Points will be awarded for suitable solution.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
1) Yes you can do the same in the existing class by adding new characteristics in CL02, Before that ensure creating the new Characteristic in CT04.
2) The Characteristcs being created in CT04 gets updated in Table CABN - ATINN.
3) update the new characteristice for the existing batches using MSC2N

Get Valuation Type (BWTAR) of the last material movements (MM)

Hi people,
My requirement is to create a program to make negative adjustments to material stocks (using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE). As incoming data I have the material along with the quantity to be adjusted. Plant (WERKS) and Storage location (LGORT) are fixed. If the adjustment quantity is inferior to the total stocks on all the batches (I'll get the values from MCHB table and sum them up - Batch and Valuation type in this cases are considered the same, so field CHARG = BWTAR), then I need to know which where the lastly adjusted valuation types, and then make the adjustments on that valuation types.
Which leads me to my question: How do I know which were the latest valuation types for a given movement (101 or 311 in this case) and material? Is the only option to search in tables MSEG/MKPF ordering by date (getting the latest material documents? Do I have other options?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Sai, many thanks for your reply.
But don't think your suggestion would work, because this batches are already created. Besides if I enter to MSEG table only with movement and batch as keys, i'll get thousands of records since this batches are not unique as in other cases.
I don't only need the latest batch, i need the latest batches till the quantity is
covered. Because the quantity to adjust can be greater than that of the latest batch.
I'll give you an example: suppose the actual stocks for a given material in a plant/stge.Loc. are like this:
Batch1 = 30,0
Batch2 = 30,0
Batch3 = 30,0
and they were entered in that order. So my program receives a negative adjustment of 45,0: I need to adjust Batch3 to 0,0 and Batch2 to 15,0.
The problem lies in: how do i know i need to adjust Batch3 first, then Batch2 (and go on till there's nothing to adjust)?
I've been thinking in doing something like this (after verifying that MCHB stocks are greater):
DATA:
BEGIN OF i_movs OCCURS 0,
    mblnr LIKE mkpf-mblnr,
    mjahr LIKE mkpf-mjahr,
    bldat LIKE mkpf-bldat,
    cputm LIKE mkpf-cputm,
    bwtar LIKE mseg-bwtar,
    menge LIKE mseg-menge,
    meins LIKE mseg-meins,
END OF i_movs.
SELECT
a~mblnr a~mjahr a~bldat a~cputm
b~bwtar b~menge b~meins
INTO TABLE i_movs
FROM mseg AS b
INNER JOIN mkpf AS a ON
    a~mjahr = b~mjahr AND
    a~mblnr = b~mblnr
WHERE
*-There's an index to this four fields so access should be quick
b~matnr = 'A1111111111' AND
b~werks = k_werks AND
b~lgort = k_lgort AND
b~bwart IN ('101', '311') AND
NOT bwtar = ' '.
SORT i_movs DESCENDING BY mblnr mjahr bldat cputm.
And then loop and take the valuation types from my internal table...but i'm not quite satisfied with that because i'll get ALL movements for the material, so the program will grow slower with time as new GM documents are created...
Any other ideas?
Thanks again.

Error: Batch does not contain a valuation type

Hi,
When I'm trying to do MB1B for the below parameters, I'm getting the error:
Transaction       MB1B
movement type 411
special stock     Q
plant                 XXXX
storage location YYYY
WBS element    a12334455674787698
material             1234

batch                12345678
'Batch 'material no' 'plant' 'batch no' does not contain a valuation type. Message no. M7 045
But the batch has a valuation type and the material is assigned a valuation type too.
Can you please giude me to find out why is this behaviour?
Regards
Jag

HI, I've encounter the same problem. But I used the movement type 323 E.
I input the data as below:
material 2000000564
plant S010
storage location 2001
batch 0903011208,
and got the message M7045 saying that Batch 2000000564 S010 0903011208 does not contain a valuation type, but the batch 0903011208 do have a valuation type in it!
When I use movement type 323, there isnt' any error message returned!
so, I guess there is a bug in the program!

Valuation type with batch management.

Dear all:
We have created our self valuation category D, without automatic valuation type.
From what we have checked, it is mandatory to enter a valuation type during batch creation with MSC1N. This link between batch master and valuation type is impossible to change.
Our plan was to employ 2 valuation types, independently of the batch used, so that with a STO we could be able to post and outbound movement from valuation type A and a subsequent inbound goods receipt of valuation type B.
That's a problem for us as we use batch numbers to refer to certain material features, and those shouldn't change given the valuation type, so that it is mandatory for us to use the same batch number for both valuation types. Given that the link between batch master and valuation type is unbreakable, this looks not possible.
We already tried to de-activate the valuation type as a required field during the batch creation, but it didn't work as the field still needed an entry during the saving. There are also several error messages that would need to be de-activated (M7043, 06649...)
If we cannot use two valuation types with the same batch, is there any solution we can manage, besides of the duplication of batch numbers?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Jürgen, thanks for your comments.
We have as well the batch management at plant level, but our idea was to use split valuation in order to avoid the use of plant as the minimum valuation level, as this would have further issues regarding the logistic side (we can use the stock determination group to solve this when using split valuation).
So we face the problem that with a given batch number we cannot post movements with two different valuation types.
I'll take a look at the note anyway, thanks for your help.

Valuation Type is missing for Material and Batch

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue related to delivery.
While creating Order to cash cycle for one sales area, there is no error at all, but when I am trying to repeat the same cycle with same customer and material, different sales area and document type, I am not able to save delivery document. and receive error as "Valuation Type is missing for Material X and Batch Y".
Kindly suggest possible errors.
Regards,
Himmanshu

Check whether the required Valuation type is maintained in material master. Also, update the error message number.
