Changing Batch Level from Material Level to Plant Level.

I want to create the batch class with the class code 22 instead of 23. As the batch class is maintained at the Material Level, not at the Plant Level. So is it possible to change the batch class from Material to Plant Level and create batch class with code 22.
Kindly suggest.

Hi, Thanks for ur reply.
I have applied SAP notes and changed the batch status from material level to plant level...But still i am getting the class type as 23.
What are the next steps to be done. Currently in OMCT, Batch Level Conversion tab is active and rest all the tabs are in inactive state. so please guide.

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..

Add z field in material master at plant level

I wanna to assign a new field in material master at plant level..
What settings should be done to do this?
Positive response will be highly appreciated.
Regards

hi,
You can define the field directly via assigning the field to field selection group...This could also be done at industry sector, plant level as well....
Check the path :
SPRO >> Logistics general >> MM >> Field selection >> Assign fields to field selection group...
SPRO >> Logistics general >> MM >> Field selection >> Assign field at plant
SPRO >> Logistics general >> MM >> Field selection >> Assign fields at industry sector level...
For this assign the field to the respective table and then provide it at OMSR...
Assign field selection group to it...
Then in OMS9 give the priority for hide/display/req/optional to field...
If you want this to be added in the new screen, then you have to make the settings under "configure the material master"...
Hope it helps..

Change batch determination from TO level to Delivery level

Hi,
Need input on this.
We want to change the batch determination from TO level to delivery level. How do we do this? What are the implications of this change?
Regards
RJS

Hi,
1) You can switch of WM batch determination by deleting the WM batch search strategy in LS52
2) You have to maintain the necessary setting in customizing for batch determination in delivery
SPRO > Logistcs - General > Batch Management > Batch Determination and Batch Check...here you have to all the setings
3) You have to maintain suitable batch search strategy in VCH1/VCH2/VCH3
If batch is determined in the delivery it means that you cannot change it when creating the TO.

Mass deletion of material master at plant level

Hi,
Is there any way to flag materials nearly 500 Nos for deletion at plant level.
Regards,
Vengat

hi,
Use mass transaction for putting the delete indicator for the material master...this is to be done from MM17 tcode...
and later they all could archived...Archive it from MM71 and can display this from MM72..

Identification of old material number at plant level

Dear All,
We are implementing SAP for two hospitals. In legacy system each hospital as its own material master and material number. Now in SAP each hospital we are treating as a plant. These two plants are assigned to one company code.
So it means that there will be one unique material number for two hospitals. Now business wants their old material number (which is maintained differently for two Hospitals) at plant level in search functionality
How can I achieve with material master
Regards
Subhash

create a class "OLDMAT" for old material number with CL03 for class type 001
define a characteristic for old material number for each plant with CT04 and assign it to the class (can as well be done from within CL03). name it e.g. OLDMXXXX (XXXX = plant number)
in MM01 select classification view and add the class. after you hit enter you get the fields to add the old material numbers
Standard F4 help for a material number allows then to search for a material number by classification.

Batch shelf life expiry date at Plant level

Hi All,
We have a requirement from the client to maintain Batch shelf life at plant level.
Current process: Batch shelf life expiry date is maintained at the global level.
Requirement: Shelf life data to be maintained at Global level and plant level both.We want flexibility to maintain shelf life both at Global level and plant level .
If any one has worked in this scenario then kindly throw some light to resolve this issue.And also let me know if we move ahead to maintain shelf life data at global n plant level then which all the area it will get effected in other stream reagrding shelf life best before date.
This is very critical requirement from client prospective as we have legacy system involved like LIMS & COREDB.
Your valuable input will be highly appreciated.
Thanks n Regards,
Vikas Soni.

Hi Vikas,
A doubt out of your query,
How the expiry date is maintained Globally .
Whenever a GR is done then the expiry date will be tagged to the particulat batch & the expiry date is valid for the batch in the particulat plant. Am I right?
Thanks & regards

Authorisation restriction to change batch ( MSC2N ) by material type

Hi ,
We have a requirement wherein we want to restrict users from changing batch records ( MSC2N ) by material type. Viz. A user xyz should not have authorization to change batch for material type FERT.
We cannot use the authorization group ( BEGRU ) field of material master alongwith object M_MATE_CHG as this field is already being used for another purpose to restrict users by country for MM01,MM02 & MM03.
Please do let know if you know of any alternative method of doing so.

Hi,
The new authorization object will work only if the corresponding changes are made in the related program.
Open the program code for the MSC2N transaction (via Se93), and search for the string "AUTHORITY-CHECK". You will find a piece of code that checks for the authorization object M_MATE_CHG and its related field values. This will need to be changed to Z_MATE_CHG and its corresponding values.
You will need an ABAP-er for this.
Only then will the authorization check work correctly. Once this is done add the object in the corresponding role (and also change SU24 entry for MSC2N accordingly if required).
Regards,
Sanju.

Change material description at plant level

Hi,
can material description be changed for only one plant.

Hi All,
Material Description is at client level data it will be applicable for all plants. But if you extend the material for using it in the other plant you can make a note in the sale text or purchase order text.
Hope this will solve your problem,
Regards,

Material status at plant level

Dear Guru's,
Please suggest the material status or any other solution for blocking material for planning i.e. there should be no PR, planned order or sales order. But that status should not create problem while mass level changes for BOM, Routing, DMS.
Status 90 in MRP 1 creating problem while applying mass level changes. Also tried 00 & 01 but they are allowing to create sales orders.
Regards,
SAP CONS

Hi,
Go to OMS4 & check the statuses & their values. Choose the one which meets your need. If none suits, then create one.
You can prevent a material from being part of MRP run, while allowing to be in BOM by setting B & blank or A respectively.
Revert if you face any issues.
Regards,
Vivek

PM: change all Orders from sub-operation to operation level

Hi Folks,
I've a requirement to change all PM-Orders from Operation-SubOperation to only Operation Level.
Example:
Op SubOp --> New Op (no subOp)
10__10__-->____10
10__11__-->____11
10__12__-->____12
10__13__-->____13
10__14__-->____14
20__10__-->____20
20__11__-->____21
Does someone here know, how I can make do this in an easy and save way?
The only way I see is to make an own report with calling BAPI BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN.
Have someone another solution
- SAP-Standard-Report?
- LSMW?
Regards

Hi Raghu,
Many Thanks for your quick reply.
Okay ... no LSMW.
And also no Standard-Reports?
Do you think, making my own program is the best way?

About the effect for batch level conversion from material to plant level

Dears,
Now we use batch management at material level in our system, now we want to change to batch level from material level to plant level, what effects or risks it will bring during the process of conversion?
Thanks a lot
Zhongkai

Hi
check the following SAP help link it is very helpful:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/es/d2/1d4b6e5733d1118b3f0060b03ca329/content.htm
at the link you can find the following
Specify batch level and activate status management
In this IMG activity, you specify the following:
the level at which batch numbers are unique
whether batch status management is active in the client
the plants in which batch status management is active
the initial status of new batches
Batch level
Batch numbers can be unique at the following levels:
at plant level
at material level
at client level for a material
If you choose plant level, the batch number is unique in conjunction with the respective material and the plant. If you choose material level, the batch number is unique together with the material. At client level, the batch number is unique in the whole client.
To change the batch level, you have to start a conversion program. This program first checks whether conversion is possible and outputs an error log containing all batch numbers that occur more than once at the new level. Now you need to manually transfer these batch records to numbers within Inventory Management using a transfer posting 'material to material'.
If you change the level from plant level to a higher level, it is possible that batches with the same batch numbers in different plants are actually identical. In this case, all you have to do is remove stocks (including previous period stocks) so that all batches with the same batch numbers, except one, can be reorganized.
When you convert from plant level to material level, the material is then to be handled in batches in all plants in which it is defined.
Standard settings
In the standard R/3 System, batches are unique at plant level.
Activities
To change the batch level, proceed as follows:
      1. Choose the level at which you want your batches to be unique.
      2. Save the new settings and choose Back.
      3. Select function Batch level -> Conversion.
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Note that you cannot reset conversion from plant level to a higher level in the standard.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, initially, there are no settings in the target client at batch level. The system makes the settings in the target client only when you have carried out an activity (maintaining master data or posting a goods movement, for example).
SETTINGS BEFORE/AFTER CLIENT COPY:
Source client Target client
Client level Material level
Material level Material level
Plant level Plant level
Batch status management
Batch status management is an additional function provided by the standard R/3 System.
Standard settings
Batch status management is not active in the standard R/3 system.
Activities
To activate batch status management, proceed as follows:
      1. Choose Batch status management active.
      2. Save the new setting and choose Back.
      3. Choose Batch status management -> conversion.
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Batch status management is linked to the batch level. At material and at plant level, the status management settings are valid within the client, that is for all plants. However, if you have defined batches to be unique at plant level, you have to select the plants in which status management is to be active using function Plants with status management.
If you activate status management, all existing batches are assigned status 'unrestricted'. If you deactivate status management, the systems transfers all restricted batches to unrestricted stock within conversion. Restricted stock only exists if status management is active.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, status management is automatically activated if batches exist in the target client, independent of the settings in the source client. If no batches exist in the target client, it is not activated. In this case, you have to activate or deactivate status management manually, if required.
Plants with batch status management
Activities
To select the plants in which status management is to be active, proceed as follows:
      1. Set characteristic Batch status management for those plants in which batch status management is to be active.
      2. Save your settings and choose function Back.
      3. Choose function Batch status management -> conversion
      4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Initial status of a new batch
Using this function, you can specify for each material type which initial status new batches are to be assigned. However, if you use a quality management system, this specifies the status of the batches.
Hope it will help
Best Regards
