FIFO Valuation - Is Batch Managed Required?

Hi ,
I need help to confirm to me if we are planning to use FIFO valuation, must the material be batch managed if needs to use this functionality? Appreciate clarification from the experienced Gurus in FIFO valuation. Thanks!
Regards,
Michelle Low

Hello
I have gone thru couple documents and SAP help, there is no requirement of Batch management for FIFO.
System will carry out FIFO valuation based on goods receipts,material document internally. I have tested some steps in FIFO scenario as explained in SAP Help and no meesages on Batch requiremnt requirement.
Lets wait for some moe time for FIFO valuation expert posts.
warm regards

Split valuation with batch management and project stock

Dear Gurus,
I need to combine two following requirements:
1. split valuation with batch management (valuation type = batch number)
2. project stock
These two functionalities work fine separately but not together.
I receipt PO for material with spiit valuation on a batch level into a project stock. Posting is OK and material document (MSEG table) seems to be OK (batch number, valuation type and project stock are in this table). The problem appears when I want to display material in this valuation type (MM03) or batch (MSC3n). They don't exist!!! Short investigation showed that during goods receipt table MBEW (valuated stock) was not updated with this valuation type.
But If PO is receipt into normal stock first and then posted into project stock everything is OK.
Have you had or heart about such issue? I would appreciate any sugestion.
Thsnks in advance.
Marcin Bernat

Hi,
As you already know ,u are using project stock and doing goods receipt against project, stock table QBEW will be updated and not MBEW. MBEW only updates in case of plant stock valuation. If u receive any goods against project stock it does not contribute to plant stock. Irrespective whether your material is managed in split valuation or not, If it is received against project stock it only updates QBEW. There is no need to update MBEW, if u r using split valuation in project. QBEW also have valuation type as another level like MBEW. If u want to see material price for project stock, it can be seen in QBEW -valuation type and not in mm03.
As u r receiving goods against project stock this is d only reason QBEW is updated and not MBEW.
QBEW will store all information like MBEW for batch number, valuation type and project stock assignment.
Hope it answers your question.

Spilt valuation with batch management?

Gurus,
I want to activate split valuation with batch management..
i know the configuration of doing split valuation..
but, i need help on batch management configuration...

hi,
Why do you want both at the same time??
Either split val. or batch management independently can solve your issues...
Please let me know the reason...
For split valuation :
To select split valuation ('OMWC'), proceed as follows:
1. Determine the valuation categories and valuation types that are allowed for all valuation areas:
global valuation categories via menu "Goto --> Global Categories"
global valuation types via menu "Goto --> Global Types"
2. Allocate the valuation types to the valuation categories.
a) Select "Goto --> Global Categories".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation category and select
"Goto --> Global Categories --> Assignments --> 'Types->Category'".
c) Activate the valuation types you want.
3. Determine the local valuation categories for each valuation area.
a) Select "Goto --> Local definitions".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation area and select
"Goto --> Local Definitions --> Allocate Categoires->Org.units (button Cats->(OU)".
You obtain a list of the global valuation categories.
c) Activate the categories to be used in this valuation area.
The system creates the local valuation types based on the allocations under point 2.
Only now can you create a master record with split valuation.
Specifying Split Valuation by creating Material Subject to Split Valuation
1. Create a material master record, selecting the Accounting View 1.
2. Enter your data as required on the Accounting data screen, specifying a valuation category.
(If you can't find the valuation category field, it might be hidden, use OMSR to define the Field Groups.
Look for the field MBEW-BWTTY for Valuation category).
3. Be sure that the price control indicator is V for moving average price and enter a moving average price.
4. In the case of split valuation, you can create only one valuation header record with price control V because the
individual stock values are cumulated, and this total value is written to the valuation header record. This is where the
individual stocks of a material are managed cumulatively. To do this, fill in the Valuation category field on the accounting
screen when you create the material master record and leave the Valuation type field blank.
5. Save your data and the system creates the valuation header record.
6. The initial screen appears.
7. Extend the material by creating new material master records from the Accounting view 1. For the first material, specify a
valuation type in the Organizational Levels dialog box and enter the respective accounting data on the data screen.
Proceed likewise for the other materials, distinguishing between them by valuation type. To do this, call up the material in
creation mode again. Due to the fact that a valuation header record exists, the system requires you to enter a valuation
type for the valuation category.
8. Repeat step seven for every valuation type planned.
You want to valuate the stock of material XYZ that you obtain from manufacturer A in Los Angeles at a different price than the stock you obtain from manufacturer B in Detroit. In this case, the valuation category is H for origin. Your valuation types can be LOS ANGELES and DETROIT.
If a material is subject to split valuation, every quantity (sub-stock) of this material must be assigned to a valuation type (for example, country of origin).
For every valuation type, there are two types of data in the system, as follows:
Valuation data (for example, valuation price, total stock quantity, total stock value), which is defined for every valuation type at valuation-area level and applies to all dependent storage locations.
Stock data, which, like batch data, is managed separately for each storage location. If a material that is subject to split valuation is also subject to management in batches, its stock data is not managed by valuation type, but rather by batch. Every batch is assigned to a valuation type.
The stock quantity, stock value, and valuation price for all valuation types are managed cumulatively at valuation-area level

Material maintained in split valuation and batch management

Dear Seniors,
I have maintained a material with both split valuation and batch management. If i check in MMBE, only batch management is getting preference. Valuation type is not coming. Why is it so ? why maintaining both is not possible in SAP ??? kindly explain me please.
Regards,
JanaMM

If you Mantain both Split valuation as well as batch mgmt for a material, then all stock reports will show "Batch " and Not valuation type since batch is relevant to inventory mgmt and split valuation is relevant for account determination and valuation. , the only report which wil show you both is BMBC(batch info cockpit).
You can however run MB5B w.r.t valuation type in the input screen.
In such cases , The Valuation Type forms a part of the batch master which you can see in MSC3N .

Note 533276 - Setting the batch management requirement indicator

Hi;
we have found an oss note for setting the batch management requirement
indicator.. but the program mentioned in oss note does't exist in the
attachement part.. we urgently need your help..
how can we find program RVBCONVMAT2BM?
Note 533276 - Setting the batch management requirement indicator
Solution
Here, the standard procedure is to clear stocks of the current and the previous period as well as to complete the open documents. Note 30656 provides further information about this.
Alternatively, in the case of a large data or document volume, you can use a conversion report from the batch development that sets the batch management requirement indicator without the necessity of manual preliminary works such as the posting of the stocks or the completion of open documents.
We have developed the main features of this report, but it must be adjusted to individual business processes in a customer project that is subject to charges.
If you require further information about functions of this tool or about running such a customer project, you can send an e-mail to the consulting department ([email protected]).

Hi,
You also need to check for open sales order, open production orders, open WM transfer orders and open deliveries. These documents needs to be closed/completed.
Check OSS notes 533276 - Setting the batch management requirement indicator.

Batch management requirement indicator

Dear experts,
Due to an error during test-conversion, I have a number of materials that should have gotten the Batch management requirement indicator. At this moment the system does not allow me to change this indicator, because it detects stockpostings.
Since it is an inactive client I have the possibility to change whatever is needed, so I removed the stock. But apparantly this is not enough.
Does anyone know a way to enforce the Batch management requirement indicator?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards, AJ

Batch Management Requirement - SD document

hi all,
I am trying to activate batch management in MM02. But it has error:
SD documents exist (orders or deliveries) that have not yet been processed or that have been processed only in part.
It lists two SD document: one SO and one DN
This is the only error the system gives. I am sure the material has no inventory in previous period and this period and no other outstanding document
Then I changed the DN qty to 0, posted it
And I changed the SO qty to 0 or reject the SO item
But system keep giving the above error
Could anyone advise?
Thanks

hai;
First you have to cancel the DN .Take VL09.Reverse the goods movement then take VL02 select the document and delete the items from it and save.
Then goto VA02 and type the SO number and delete the item .and save it.
Now the stock will be greater than zero.
Once again make it as zero and activate the batch management.
Hope this will serve you better
regards.

Batch Management Requirement

Dear Experts,
We are going for Batch management in our rollout project.
Scenario we wil be as follows:
1] SFG material need to be handled by Batch
2] FG material need to be handled by Batch
3] We want the Batch output of SFG to FG
Ex: let say we have manufactured SFG as ABCD123, this need to be processed again become FG at this time also we want batch as ABCD123.
How this can be achived & which is better either internal OR external.
Please suggest
Thanks
DN

Hi Don,
First things first both the SFG and the FG need to have the Batch Management indicator activated in the material master. Secondly in SPRO you can choose to activate Internal batch number assignment or leave it at default inactive status. Thirdly maintain the BOM for FG and SFG. When you are manufacturing or procuring the SFG you have the freedon of mentioning the Batch number in the goods receipt tab of the production order or in the batch tab of the MIGO transaction.
Once the SFG is in stock you can create a similar batch for the FG at the time of production and this is because both these materials are different and can be produced or procured or sold independently. So the batch becomes material specific.
I hope the solution was helpful
Thanks and Regards

Batch Management Indicator not getting set for material master

Hi,
In one of the material we need to mark the Batch Management Indicator in Material MAster. We had removed all the stocks from the material. But still we are getting error, Stock exists for the material in Plant XXX and Sloc YYY.
I checked in MARD table and MMBE that for this maaterial there are no stock for said Sloca and Plant.
One thing which I noticed in the Material Master and MARDH table that there exists some stock in Previous persiod for the said Sloc and Plant.
Need to know is this error is due to stock shown in previous period. Why system is checking the previous period stock.
How can we resolve our issue and check this Indicator.
Please let me know as earliest as possible.
Thanks
SG

Hi,
Refer OSS Note 30656 - Change base unit of measure/batch mngt requirement
Following are the details of this note;
Symptom
When maintaining a material master record, you change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator or the valuation category. The system then tells you that this change is not possible since stocks still exist. However, no stocks are shown for the material in the stock overview.
Reason and Prerequisites
The message that stocks still exist refers not only to stocks in the current period, but also to stocks in the previous period.
The reason for checking previous period stocks is that postings can also be made to the previous period when entering goods movements. This would result in inconsistencies if the base unit of measure had meanwhile been changed.
Solution
Please check whether stocks still exist for the previous period by displaying, for example, the plant stock view or storage location stock view of the material. You do this by selecting "Extras -> Previous period -> Prev. pd SLoc. stock or Prev. pd plant stock".
If previous period stocks exist, you can make a withdrawal posting as follows:
1. Post the same amount to current period stock (for example, using movement type 561) so that previous period stock and current period stock are identical.
2. Make a withdrawal posting in the previous period for the stock together with posting date (for example, using movement type 562).
You can now try again to change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator.
Since the posting of the previous period values to zero is identical with posting to the stocks of the current period, you should reverse the above stock postings (i.e. the stock from the previous period should be booked in again) to make sure that the stock values from the previous and the current periods correspond to the state before the change. Please note, however, that the postings are then carried out using the changed master data from the current period (e.g. account determination, etc.)

UNCHECK BATCH MANAGEMENT INDICATOR

Hello all, I cannot find an appropriate Note onto OSS to solve this issue and hope you could provide some ideas over it.
By error on initial upload we've flagged the 'batch-mgmnt' box (MARC-XCHAR) for few materials on period 12-06. These materials has received movements in periods 12-06, 01-07, 02-07... and unwanted batches were generated. Our jobs for consumptions are becoming in error because we didn't prepare them for managing batches (we do not use batches even). There is a way to uncheck the 'batch-mgmnt' box in MM02?
We already leave the stocks in 'zero'. We deleted & archived the batches. But when try to uncheck the box the error message emerges again: there are still batches.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Module MM Backoffice,
I think this will be helpful.
Reward if answer is helpful.

Please find here with the OSS solution as follow:
1) Follow OSS note 30656 which explains explains following:
When maintaining a material master record, you change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator or the valuation category. The system then tells you that this change is not possible since stocks still exist. However, no stocks are shown for the material in the stock overview.

The message that stocks still exist refers not only to stocks in the current period, but also to stocks in the previous period.
The reason for checking previous period stocks is that postings can also be made to the previous period when entering goods movements. This would result in inconsistencies if the base unit of measure had meanwhile been changed.
Solution
Please check whether stocks still exist for the previous period by displaying, for example, the plant stock view or storage location stock view of the material. You do this by selecting "Extras -> Previous period -> Prev. pd SLoc. stock or Prev. pd plant stock".
If previous period stocks exist, you can make a withdrawal posting as follows:
1. Post the same amount to current period stock (for example, using movement type 561) so that previous period stock and current period stock are identical.
2. Make a withdrawal posting in the previous period for the stock together with posting date (for example, using movement type 562).
You can now try again to change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator.
Now reverse the stock postings above if necessary.
2)
Do MM02, erase batch management flag, then save. System creates message that you should look into the error log.
Maybe you havent realized that in this case a new button appears next to the additional data button called ERROR LOG. Click this button and SAP tells you why it does not allow to erase the batch management flag.
Further see OSS notes 533383 and 30656
Consider creating a new material instead of changing the batch management flag, it is much easier and faster than doing all the necessary steps like closing open docuements, and archiving some objects to be able to do the change.

Valuated SIT: Batch related error

Hi Experts
We use valuated SIT functionality.
The material moved is non-batch managed in supplying plant and it is batch managed in receiving plant.
Due to this, when attempted to do PGI, getting the error "Enter Batch" (Message M7 018).
This error received due to the reason that during PGI, along with movement 683, movement 107 to get posted for placing in blocked stock.
Please sugges if any solution for this

Dear Expert
Process Over View Batch Management: I have given Purchase order for 100 ton Steel Coil for Single Grade NV23S-100L ,Purchase order release with single line item NV23S-100L quantity 100 Ton, once I received the material I am receiving 10 Coils with same grade but each and every coil have 25-30 Specific Attributes, Like Weight , Heat No, Lot No, Coil Width ,AS,AG etc , which I am sharing with my customer in India when I am selling my Steel Coils and made product , which I want to manage in ByDesign System. I want to manage my inventory behalf of my Coil Grade Specification.
in SAP By Design, we have identified stock, I am looking for an option to add 28-30 more fields in Identified Stock Screen , which will reflect into my Inbound Delivery and Goods Receipt and Production, because as per my client requirement I want these more fields on the entry screen ,in this I also want an option of printing so that I can take a preview of it.
I am working to solve this issue with SDK ,We have created one business Object MTC where one complete line item denote with 28-30 fields and the business object instance is Identified Stock ID, I want this Identified Stock Id behave as SAP ByDesign System Identified Stock ID,
we have identified Stock ID in Inbound, Outbound and Production but there we have one pop with 2-3 fields only I tried to Map my Business Object Instance ID which is Identified Stock ID. The Purpose here for this , Barcode will work in ByDesign System Identified Stock and Product ID basis IN-OUT. When I am receiving goods my client want to use Barcode Machine and the same for Outbound Delivery and he want to manage this process through Bar Code because of his Product Grade is same but same each product have different 25-30 specification which can be done through Identified Stock ID.
In ByDesign system we have only Pop Up with 3-4 fields for your reference I am attaching screen shot here as per the Customized solution possible which I am working its not allowing me map my Business Object Instance ID to System Identified Stock ID because of PSM Issue.
Kindly please help me if anyone face this issue earlier, or he have some workaround, Please let me know.

SAP provided two reports which can update or remove BATCH MANAGEMENT INDICATOR and BATCHES without removing the material stocks and documents. We need to close only open physical inventory documents.
The below reports update, all relevant documents based on batch activation/de-activation:
u2022 RVBCONVMAT2BM - Sets the batch management requirement indicator.
u2022 RVBREVMATBM - Removes the batch management requirement indicator
But,these programns will not be available in standard SAP,they has to procured form SAP.

Article with Batch management in POS Inbound

Dear SAP Experts,
I encountered problem for POS inbound for articles that activated Batch Management in SAP Retail. The system always send error message to require the batch, however, I cannot give SAP the batch number I want to update the stock by using POS inbound (both aggregated sales and sales per receipt). I cannot find any IDOC type that support that.
I don't know whether SAP Retail supports batch management for article or not. In case they support it, how can we do the POS inbound for the articles.
Hope to get your supports,
Thanks in advance,

hi,
"Batch management requirement cannot be changed" -
Once the material is made relevant for batch -by putting a tick in any of the relevant views in material master -it cannot be changed again if any delievry / stock is already maintained for that material.

Problems with existing stock and batch management indicator

Hi,
We would like to set the batch management indicator for a material.
However, there is stock on the material for the given plant.
The different stock categories for the plant/material combination are as follows (according to transaction MMBE):
Unrestricted use 150
Reserved (for production ordeers) 42
Open order qty (incoming PO) 100
"When I try to set the batch management indicator in MM02 I receive the following error message:
Material Master Maintenance
The batch management requirement cannot
be changed for the following reasons:
Stocks already exist at plant level.
Plant SLoc
   PL01 SL01
   PL01 SL02"
Can someone please guide me in how to remove the stock and the reservations, so that we can set the batch management indicator? Does the reservations of stock have any impact (there are reservations for 5 different production orders for this material)?
Thanks in advance,
Lars

in plant A, you have to add 21 in current period (e.g. with 202 movement), then you issue 171 in previous period. with 201. Result: both periods are zero.
plant B, just issue 17 in previous period with 201.
for Plant A   171 with movement 202 back into stock with previous period date, and subsequently 21 goods issue using 201 in current period.
for plant B: 17 with movement 202 and previous period date.
