Converting from finished products non-batch to batch management

Hi guys,
Can you tell what is the best strategy to convert a system from non-batch managed to batch managed for the finished and salable product? Batch management should have been implemented from the start, but my client just realized that mistake. This is knowing that we already have inventory and all kinds of transactional data: purchase orders, sales order, production orders...
I am looking for the less painfull strategy, as detailed as possible.
Thank you.
Fotso

Its going to be painful.............
1) Reverse all material stocks. Create a new cost center and consume the available stocks to that cost center using 201 mvt type.
2) If there are any open sale orders for that material delete the line item in those sale orders.
3) Update the batch management indicator in the material master.
4) Add back the material in the respective sale orders.
5) Post the stocks with batches by reversal mvt type 202 from the cost center.

GSL.

HI,
Hi,
Procedure to be followed to activate Batch Management for Materials: -
1. Mark Deletion Flag for all the Open Purchasing Documents of Materials
2. Technical Completion of Production Orders to cancel open Reservations of Materials
3. Create a Dummy Material for Material (Batch Management Active)
4. Generate details of Unrestricted Stock of Materials as per Bill of Entry
5. Transfer Stock of Materials to Dummy Material using Movement Type "309" in previous period (Stock will be transferred Bill of Entry wise)
6. Activate batch Management for Materials
7. Transfer Stock from Dummy Material to Materials
Note: -
1) If there is stock available in previous period and also stock available in current period then Transfer Posting from Material to Material can be done directly in previous period. (Comparison of Tables MARD and MARDH)
2) In case if there is stock in previous period but no stock available in current period then we have to post an initial stock entry using movement type "561" to generate stock in current period (Here Quantity = Stock in Previous period)
3) Reverse these Material Documents in previous period
There are several SAP notes that give some useful information:
30656 Change base unit of measure/batch mngt requirement
533383 Resetting batch management requirement
533377 Conversion of batch level
I hope this helps!

Changed Material from non-batch to batch-managed

Dear Gurus,
Could anyone advise on the steps that I need to perform in order to change the material from non-batch to batch-managed in the material master?
There are stocks being captured in current month and previous month
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Batch management for existing material can not be done if it has stock and value.You can keep stock value NIL (By reversing) and then proceed with batch management.Batch Management you doing means , you just subdividing the material according to its characterstics of material.
The Customisation steps are:
1.Create Characterstics,
2.Create Class,
3.In material master, select classification view and tick batch management
4.Go to Logistic General->Batch Management->Batch Det and back Chk->Condition table-> Define Inventory Management Condition table
4.2 . Like wise Define Acess Sequense,
4.3.Strategy Types,
4.4.batch Serch Procedure,
4.5.Batch Srech Procedure and allocation,
4.6..Condition Record: Logistic->Central Function->Batch Management-> Batch Determination->Batch serch Stratergy->For Inventory Manament-> Create
Once you do all customising steps,Then you can receive the material as per you requirement.Example....Lets say H2SO4,you are receiving 98%,70% and 50% purity.According to you requirement and supply from Vendor you can keep in three different batches.This characterstic of material you can maintain in creating the characterstic ,,step-1.

STO from non batch managed to batch managed - Incorrect batch being posted

Hi Folks,
We use STOs to transfer materials from a non batch managed plant into a batch managed plant with a one step movement. The process we use is to create the STO and enter material, batch, quantity and receiving plant / Sloc. Then create an outbound delivery (which pulls through the correct batch) for the STO which we pick and PGI. The movements are a 647 out of issuing plant (no batch), a 647 into receiving plant (no batch) and a 101 into receiving plant (with batch).
The problem I have is that even though the correct batch is in both the STO and the delivery, when the one step PGI is done SAP ignores the batch and automatically creates a new one.
Any one seen this before?
Cheers
Keith

Isn't possible the material once had been batch managed but later batch management was removed (and batches archived)? You can have a look at change hisotry of material master <-- update: forget this suggestion...you cannot remove batch management indicator if you have stock...
If the material is really not batch managed (you can find relevant record in MCHA table) then it seems you have inconsitency in your system; it's better you report this error to OSS.

Changing SLED date on non Batch Managed Materials

Is it possible to change the SLED date on QUANTS for Materials that are not batch managed? This date is originally recorded in the Goods Receipt (MIGO).
The SLED is displayed in the LS24 Bins Stock per Material Report.
Where this is incorrect on Batch Managed Materials the SLED date can be changed on the Batch in MSC2N, however for non Batch Managed Materials it does seem possible to change it.

The SLED field only exists in the quant when shelf life management is active in Materials Management (MM). This happens when the material master is maintained accordingly.
During a stock placement in MM you can enter either the production date or the shelf life expiration date. This depends upon whether the field Remaining shelf life has been maintained in the material master record. For example, if 10 days have been entered into this field, the system assumes that when goods are received, the production date was entered and calculates the shelf life automatically. If you leave this field empty in the material master, the system makes it possible for you to directly enter the shelf life expiration date.
This date that is entered or calculated during the goods receipt is then noted in the quant that is created in the storage bin. If you add stock to an existing quant in a storage bin, the shelf life expiration date of the new quantity that is added is lost.

Change existing stock items from Non-Batch to Batch Management Method

Hi,
Any prerequisites before changing the existing stock items from Non-Batch to Batch Management method which have On hand stock qty? Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Priscilla

Hi
You can change the method only when, available Qty becomes zero.
OR
you can do one workaround :
Make Goods Issue of that Item and take value of stock in any GL,
and then change the method of that item, then make Goods Reciept by using that GL which was used in Goods Issue.

It should work for me.
My Doubt is after this also i need to run the program to change to non batch material.

Batch & Non-batch material - 1 mat. doc - 2 EI automatically

Hi,
I am facing an issue while capturing Excise Invoice (EI) at depot.
If non-batch material and batch material are combined into one material document which is generated after post goods issue (PGI) to create EI, two separate Excise Invoices are getting generated automatically.
But while capturing Excise Invoice for both materials at depot, I am NOT able to capture in T-code J1IG by Goods receipt material documents.
How to handle such case? Could you give us some suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

How to find out if a Product is HU or non HU managed in SAP EWM ?

Hi All,
Sorry for a naive question. But i tried to google this thing but couldn't find much material on SAP EWM.
How do i know if a Product is HU managed or non HU managed in SAP EWM ?

you can control per storage type whether an HU is allowed or not.
so you do not assign the HU but a setting if HUs are allowed or not.
You can create a new HU in various processes e.g. picking or packing. It's not possible to list all possibilities here.
What process are you trying to execute?

Transfer posting from Non-WM manage plant to WM manage plant

Hi Guru,
I want to trasfer FG from storage location of Non-WM manage plant to storage bin of WM manage Plant. I did this posting with Movt type 301 , in destination section WM tab is activated for WM manage plant but after posting , its not generating TR no which is necessary for TO while posting material to bin. But material is showing in storage location of WM manage plant.
what to do in this situation? I want this finish goods be in destination bin of storage type.
regds
neeraj

As I understand in OMJJ WM fields are allowed for IM-mvt 301 and you define the storage type and bin when executing the goods movement in IM.
If the system directly posts the goods into the destination storge bin why do you need TR and TO?
If you do not want to post the goods directly into the storage bin (=you do not define the values for the WM-fields of mvt 301) then you have to check your settings in SPRO > LE > WM > Interfaces > IM > Define Movement Types.
Here you can set TR creation for the IM-mvt and then you can create TO by processing the TR from LB10.
You can find several threads how WM-IM interfaces should be maintained.

Non HU managed PSA

Hi All,
I need to know if it is possible to move inventory from a WM / HU managed location in to a Non HU Managed PSA location.
Can anyone help answer this.
Thanks
Stuart

Hi,
You can transfer stock from Hu managed to non HU managed Loc trough VLMOVE
Use movement type 311 (If you want to move within a plant)enter HU number
Now at "Material Tab" Mention stktrnsfsloc as the location on which you want to move the stock.

Problem with non-container managed entity manager

i am working on a project, in which i am using entity beans.i use netbeans, glassfish as application server and toplink as persistence provider .
i created a java class that handles all the operations with the entitys, which means i using non-container managed entity manager.
in the constructor
try{
            EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("voidPU");
            entityManager = emf.createEntityManager();
        catch(Exception ex){
            throw new EJBException(ex.getMessage());
        }then i call a function in this class from a servlet
the code of the function
List users = null;
        try {
            ProgLanguages progLanguage = entityManager.find(ProgLanguages.class, languageId);
            users = (List) progLanguage.getUserIdCollection();
        catch(IllegalStateException illegalStateException){
            throw new EJBException(illegalStateException.getMessage());
        catch(IllegalArgumentException illegalArgumentException) {
            throw new EJBException(illegalArgumentException.getMessage());
        }i got an IllegalArgumentException saying Unknown entity bean class: class vanguard.server.entity.ProgLanguages, please verify that this class has been marked with the @Entity annotation
what confuses me is that sometimes it works and most of the time it does not work, have i made anything wrong?, or there is a problem with any of the tools netbeans, glassfish, or toplink?

Is it always the same entity that is reported as 'unknown' ? You mention that it works sometimes but is it the same deployment and the same code that works? The first thing I would verify is that the ear is being created as expected by netbeans. Check the persistence.xml file and verify that all of the classes are listed that will be used as entities.

How does the shop floor know to pick non-WM managed materials?

Hi experts...
More of a process question this time. The bulk of our materials are warehouse managed in SAP. As such, when we release a production order, the warehouse gets a pick ticket (TO) to pick and stage those materials.
Obviously, the non-warehouse managed materials do not appear on the pick list. How, in most companies, do the warehsoue folks know to pick those items if they don't appear on the pick list?
It must be obvious but I'm missing it!
Thanks in advance.
Sarah

Hi,
All production relevant materials in component list are present on the pick list. You can verify the same by executing CO27 (mass) or MIGO or MB1A (individually).
For parts which are warehouse managed & if WM-PP interface is setup, once the order is released, a TR is generated for warehouse to process the picking, once the TR & TO is process, the GI is done.
For parts which are not warehouse managed, the stock is managed in IM (i.e. at sloc level), for these the pick list which is printed at the time of order release will serve as a picking instruction for warehouse personnel & subsequently a GI is posted via MB1A / MIGO / CO27.
Hope it clarifies.
Regards,
Vivek

Transfer:WM-managed non-HU managed stor location to WM and HU managed sloc

Dear All,
I have one storage location that is Warehouse managed and non-HU managed. I have another sloc that is warehouse managed and also HU managed. I want to move stock from the first to the second. I use HU04 and specify the destination storage type and bin. The movement is executed and I can see the stock in the final storage location and bin. But stock is still visible in the original storage location and bin. Also a negative quant is generated in the final storage type/bin.Moreover, there is no posting chnage notice created.
Is there a way I can get this posting change notice created?

Hi Vijay ,
Facing similar problem , any soln for that ?
