Formulafor Suggested Date of Production

Question

The Suggested Date of Production for Goods Receipt in MB31 is calculated using the formula
Current Date minus Total Shelf Life (in trx MM03 Material Master) plus Minimum Remaining Shelf Life (in trx MM03 Material Master). Can anyone explain the logic behind this formula?

Answer 1

Hi Sasy,
You have ask so many questions in one thread but no problem.
1) Date of Production :- System will not calculate the Date Of Production Automatically , but system will ask you to enter the Production Date manually (or by use of User Exit) at the time of Goods Receipt.
Generally when you are confirming the Goods receipt for Production or Process order system will ask you to enter the Production date though a Pop Up screen.For this you have to first activate the Shelf Life Expiration checks in T.code OPJ5.
2) Shelf Life Expiration Date:-  Now this Date will be calculate by the system automatically.For this system will consider the Date of Production (as mention above) and Total Shelf life data maintain in Plant Data 1 of Material Master.
3) Available date (LOBM_MBDAT) :- This is the Date from when Batch is available for production or for Usage.
