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

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..

Differentiate material at plant level

Hi,
I want to differentiate material at plant level.
Example I have a material 3335 in plant 1000 and 1100 but in plant 1000 this material is spare part and in plant 1100 this material is main part so I have to maintain this data at plant level.
I tried to enter this data in plant data tab in material master but it will grey out after I save material master for one plant and when I try to extend the material to another plant it will not allow to change.
I want to know a field where I can maintain this data.
Thanks and Regards
Pavan

you cannot have one material number with several material types.
the material type is even above the material number level, as you assign material number ranges to a group of material types.
You either have to create 2 materials, or one plant has to live with the "wrong" material type name.
More important than the name of material type are the attributes of a material type. As they define what views can be used, what fields will be mandatory or optional....
You will rarely find a transaction in SAP that uses the material type for selection or does show the material type in reports.
So dont build to much logic into the naming.
If you need to seperate spare part from main part n the GL accounts, then you can allow and assign a different valuation class.

Blocking of Material at Plant level

Hi Gurus,
My requirement is to block the material at plant level i.e. to disallow any transaction for a material in a specific plant..
Is is possible in SAP and if yes ,then what are the steps to achieve this.

Hi,
You can Block the Material for further processing.
You can set the Indicator as Block(Initial ststus) in X-Plant Material Status in Basic Data & Purchasing View .
Otherwise you can also flag the material for deletion,in MM06 .
Best Way is
You cannot delete the material from material master until archiving but you can block that material for any procurement
Goto Basic data 1
X-plant matl status -
01 Blocked for procment/whse
02 Blocked for task list/BOM
10 Blocked for MRP
Thanks,
AMIT

In future batches are maintained in plant level

when i am doing MB1A ,MB1B,MB1C after i save the document there is a message saying that in future the batches are maintained at plant level. I am not getting the document generated number. because of this i am unable to find whether the document generated or not. how to overcome this
regards
anup

Some one has most likley changed the batch level.
Please go to transaction OMCT and have a look around there to figure what has gone on
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/25/283aac4f7811d18a150000e816ae6e/frameset.htm
That will explain this transaction and settings in this,.

Batch for material in plant already exists

Hi ,
When create a goods reciept for material ABBBBB in plant X001 and sloc 0001 for the first time in a day , system automatically creates a batch number .
When I try to create a goods reciept for the same material in same plant/sloc combination , system gives me an message "Batch for the material already exists in plant " . and it stops me from going to enter values for characteristics .
But system creates a batch automatically when I recieve the same material into same plant with different sloc .
Can anyone suggest me the config or userexit so that system allows me to create a batch with a warning message .
Thanks ,

HI
When u r creating batch from MSC1N, u r maintaing for combination of material, batch, plant, storage location. So with this combination u find already existing batch when u enter same material again for plant and sto location combination.
Now when u change the storage location it is creating new batch as it is not there for different combination.
Also you can check configuration in Img -- Log general -- batch management --Creation of new batches -- Creation for Goods movement.
Here u can selct option for particular movement type.
Hope this will solve ur problem in this regard
Reward if u find it helpful

Printing mataerial description for batch split material at delivery level

Hi all,
Here i am printing the material description which is maintained in the item level at sales order level.For each material they have maintained two material descripption.I am not able to display the second material description in my export invoice whenever the material is splited into batch ie batch split at delivery level. so please can anyone help me regarding this, I am not able to get it from long time.
Regards,
madhu

Hi,
You can create a two folders for printing the line items, one folder for the normal line-items and the other folder for printing the BAtch-Split Items. you can do this by putting condition as UEPOS NE 0 or UEPOS EQ 0. You can include the Item-Description of the Batch-Splitted item in the Corresponding folder, so when there will be a batchsplit it will get printed.

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.

How Can We Change Batch Management Level From Client level to Plant Level?

Hi all,
I want to know whether it is possible to change the batch management level from client to plant level.Pls Help..

Hi,
Refer SAP Note 891902 - FAQ: Batch level

Batch class at plant level

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to assign batch class for a material at plant level, the scenario is the material is produced in two plants the batch characteristics for the both plants are different , and hence i want to assign two different batch class to a material .
Thanks and regards
Thamizhchelvan G

Thamizhchelvan,
You cannot have Plant wise Batch Class as this is client level data.
What can be done is assign all the possible characteristics to the Batch Class and assign that class to Material master and you can define the Inspection plan with MIC which are as required by individual Plants, based on this Results would be recorded and Inspection Results can be transferred to Batch Classification for that particular data.

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
