Enhancement point batch creation migo

Question

Hi all,
I'd like to automatically fill in some classification and batch values in the batch master during MIGO. The original expiration date must be stored. We used to work with user exit EXIT_SAPMM07M_003, but since the batch level has been changed to unique at material level this exit doesn't work anymore.
Are there any other enhancements i can use for this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Maarten

Ok. I think I get it now.  Wow.. sorry it took so long.
I assume you already use the SAP standard functionality to calculate your desired expiration date.  I.e you have defined a shelf life for the material in the material master.  By doing this it should require you to enter a date of manufacturing at the time of reciept.  If you fail to, it should default in the current date of the GR.  Then SAP will automaticlly calculate the batch expiration date based on that date.
So I guess you then want to capture the expiration date or best used date provided by the vendor.  I think I would create a batch characteristic of date type called "Vendor Expiration Date".  In the Basic Data screen for the characterisitc, click on the radio button "Entry Required".
In Configuration, set up the relevant material movement to "2 - Classification only in foregr.for mand.charac. (all batches)"
Logistics - General>Batch Management>Batch Valuation>Valuation for Goods Movement in Inventory Management>Activate Batch Classification for Goods Movements in IM
Now your internal expiration date wiil be in the standard batch expiration date when you perform the MIGO.  At that time a pop-up will appear and the user will be required to enter the vendor expiration date into the batch characteristic "Vendor Expiration Date".
No customization required.
