Client level, plant level and material level batch

Hi,
Can any body tell me wat is the actual meaning of
!) Client level batch,
2) plant level batch,
3) material level batch
with exa. please.
Thanks
Nilesh Ithape

Hi,
Below is the extract from the IMG Documentstion..
====================================================================
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 batch 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.
=========================================================
Hope this helps..

Siva

Reporting level Currency translation and group level Currency translation

Hi All,
Could any body explain me reporting level Currency translation and group level Currency translation.Please expalin me step by step scenario.
Thanks in advance.
Setty.

Hi Jian,
In my recent implementation completed, business only had one currency to deal with i.e. USD. Data was coming from ECC and we loaded all the data in LC instead of USD using transformation *NEWCOL(LC). Next, you can maintain a rate of 1 in the rate model and run the currency conversion.
This will generate the same data values against USD. So, your statement " if we load LC and than convert it into USD, the data vulu will de double." is incorrect. In the system, you will have same set of values against LC as well as USD.
I suggest that you configure Currency Conversion for future reqmts if any.
Regarding BCF, balances from previous year (Balance Sheet Accounts) will need to be carried forward as opening balances to next year else your BS won't give true picture.

Display the totals only at Material level in ALV

Hi........,
I am calculating the subtotals and totals. I am having the columns Company Code , Plant and Material etc.
First I did sort on table as :
gr_sorts = gr_table->get_sorts( ).
gr_sorts->add_sort( columnname = 'C_CODE' subtotal = abap_true ).
gr_sorts->add_sort( columnname = 'WERKS-WERKS' subtotal = abap_true ).
gr_sorts->add_sort( columnname = 'MATNR' subtotal = abap_true ).
After that I am doing the aggregation like this :
gr_agg = gr_table->get_aggregations( ).
gr_agg->add_aggregation( 'QUANTITY' ).
gr_agg->add_aggregation( 'QUANTITY1' ).
gr_agg->add_aggregation( 'DELTA' ).
It is displaying the totals and subtotals at each Company code , Plant and Material level.
But I want to display the totals only at Material level.
Guide me on the same.
Reply me as early as possible.
Thanx,
Jay

Replace your code for sorting
gr_sorts = gr_table->get_sorts( ).
gr_sorts->add_sort( columnname = 'C_CODE' subtotal = abap_true ).
gr_sorts->add_sort( columnname = 'WERKS-WERKS' subtotal = abap_true ).
gr_sorts->add_sort( columnname = 'MATNR' subtotal = abap_true ).
with the code given below.
gr_sorts = gr_table->get_sorts( ).
gr_sorts->add_sort( columnname = 'C_CODE' subtotal = abap_false ).
gr_sorts->add_sort( columnname = 'WERKS-WERKS' subtotal = abap_false ).
gr_sorts->add_sort( columnname = 'MATNR' subtotal = abap_true ).
Hope this helps. Reward points if helpful.

Dunning Old dinning level and dunning level

Hi experts,
I have one issue in dunning. the issue is where the dunning history for particular customer shows as old dunning level as 3 and dunning level as 2.
i have checked the customer master there is change in the dunning procdure. But the document and master data shows the correct dunning level with the new procdure.
so i didnt understand what is the OLD dunning level and dunning level for the same cusomer. the issue is only with one customer.
I have also checked with old procdure with same customer in table MHNK. there are some notices done. but how come the current invoice shows the old dunning level for the same invoice.
can any once explain me how to proceed.
Regards
Ashok

Hi
Thnks for the reply so we need to apply this note for making the old dunning level and dunning level makes equal after you run the program.
Also one more doubt, since i have observed that the dunning after the parameters entered. looks like this
Parameters were maintained
Dunning selection executed, job deleted
Dunning notice printed, job deleted.
the above doesnt means that they will update the old dunning level right.
Regards
Ashok

RMAN Restore Level 0, Level 1 incrementals and ARCHIVELOGs

I can't seem to figure this one out and I have read through documentation and the web.
On linux 64bit in 11.2.0.3, I'm doing Weekly Level 0 Backups and Nightly Level 1 Incrementals. During the day I also do ARCHIVELOG backups.
I know I need to restore LEVEL 0 database files (which I can do) and then restore subsequent LEVEL 1 Incrementals (which I can not), then apply ARCHIVELOGs (which I can do).
My problem is HOW do I apply the LEVEL 1 Incremental Backups on top of the LEVEL 0 restored database files?
thanks in advance!

To apply ArchiveLogs that were generated after the Incremental Backup ......
If the first RECOVER applies only the Incremental Backup, you need to CATALOG the subsequent Archivelgs.
Don't OPEN the database after the RECOVER.
CATALOG START WITH 'path_to_archivelogs'
Use a RUN block with SET UNTIL SEQUENCE <yourlastArchSeq+1) followed by RECOVER DATABASE
CATALOG START WITH 'path_to_archivelogs';
run
set until sequence 101 # -- if your last archivelog is 100
recover database;

T&E, and Approval Level.

Hi ,
How in Standard SAP, for T&E and the Workflow for Travel Expense approval, you could have different autorization amount by person or by possition ?
If example , if the Expense is > 1000, go to the direct boss . If > 1000, go to the boss of the direct boss .
I thing the logic can be done in WorkFlow, but were can the limit be stored ? HR ?
Thank you.

Hi,
If your problem is not yet solved then you may try this.
Case 1:
You may use infotype COST 1036 with 2 Different Subtypes
Level One and Another subtype as Level Two and a cost Item as Limit Where you can store the Value.
OR
Case 2:Create only one subtype as "Limit" and you may create 2 Cost Item as Level One and Level Two and can store the Limits.
In both the case you need to create the Cost Item.
I personally feel the 2nd one is the better option.
Please close the thread and reward points if Query Solved.

Difference between profit center in OKB9 and material master

Hello,
I have a small doubt over here in the profit center point of view.
We have created profit center 1200 and assigned the same in material master. Now while doing PO system threws error message like "Account 5005115 requires an assignment to a CO object Message no. KI235". To eliminate this error i have assigned Cost element(1001125) and Profit center(1200) in TC: OKB9, now system is able to post everything fine.
Here the issue " If i can change profit center in the material master say ex: 1201, system picks from the material master only then why assigned in the OKB9? while doing MIRO system updated in the 1201 profit center".
Could anybody update me why we need to assigned profit center in OKB9 and Material Master?
Thanks
anifi

Hi,
This is about co.code level field status and Transaction level field status. In OKB9 transaction profit center is maintained and it is getting picked up.
As per SAP if any transaction level field status is maintained it will overwrite the co.code level field status.
So, here when you are giving the input of Profit center in the material master itself it is overwritting the co. code level field of profit center. If nothing is given in material master, then by default OKB9 level profit center will be picked up.
Thanks,
Prithwiraj.

Batch level settings conversion from plant-to-plant to material-level

If someone has worked on conversion of Batch level settings within SAP from plant-to-plant to material-level batch management, please let me know what are the challenges involved in doing this. Thanks.

Check help !!!
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 batch 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 delivery batches are uniquely defined at material 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. Choose 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). The client level is not transported. If you copy a client with client level, you have to manually set the client level in the target system.

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.

Batch Material level and Material Master

Hello,
We have defined the batch level on level "Material" because we want the batchnumber to be unique for a material - independent of the plant it is used in.
I would like to know if with this setting of the config, the material X marked with the flag "Batch Managed" in its master record, should be managed with batches in all Plants or is it posbilbe to exclude some plants (for instance plants belonging to other country) from managing the material X in batches?
Thanks for any reply,
Aart.

you can only exclude plants from managing batches for a common material if your batch level is plant level.
with material level, all plants have to manage a common material with batches.

Documentary Batches with Batch Management at Material Level

Hi,
We have configured batch managment at the material level, and turned on for our materials. This applies to all plants that a material is extended to. Problem is that some plants don't have capability to (or do not need to) trace individual batches. So a "Generic" batch number approach is usually used in those few plants - but this of course still requires that the "Generic" batch number be supplied in all transactions. Some of those plants have just a more limited requirement of batch traceability (e.g. just at receipt or despatch, but not anything else like physical inventory).
The functions of Documentary Batches seem most appealing. However, according to documentation, and in our tests, it seems that the batch management setting will always suppress the documentary batch functions in a plant, even if we only want generic batches.
Does anyone know how to allow documentary batches for certain plants to override the "Batch at Material level" setting? P.S. We are not able anymore to re-configure the batch to material-plant level.
FYI - I have searched Forums, Wiki, Support portal, SAP Help and Release Documentation.
Cheers,
Jeff

Batch at material level

Hi all,
I want to use batch at material level.
i.e. for every material number batch should start from the same series.
e.g. If I want to use batch for 5 materials say A,B,C,D,E.
And I have given batch number range as 0000000001 to 9999999999, then when I do GR for A, then first batch shud be
0000000001, after this if I receive mat B, its batch should also b 0000000001. Then again if I receive mat A, then next batch shud b 0000000002, again next if I receive mat C, then its first batch shud b 0000000001.
Will it b possible if I activate batch at material level or need some other configurations also?
Regards....

Unfortunately SAP does not fulfill your requirement via a configuration. But there is the option of a user exit that gives you enough flexibility.
You can use SAP enhancement SAPLV01Z for this purpose.
o   EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001. You use this exit to replace the number range
    object and/or interval proposed by the system with your own number
    range object and/or interval.
    In addition, you can, for instance, stop the system from assigning
    an internal number depending on the material or plant. You can also
    use this exit to stop the dialog box from appearing.
o   EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002. Using this exit, you can either change the number
    assigned by the system, or assign your own number.
Check the documentation at this node in IMG for more information:
Logistics - General > Batch Management > Batch Number Assignment > Configure Customer Exits for Intern. Batch Number Assignment
Your requirement is a generic one and often used in the food industry.
