How to deactivate batch management at material master?

Dear Sir/Madam,
At the configuration,I have set "Batch Management" to be activated in plant level. I have a problem which some of the plants do not use batch management.I understand that if you tick "Batch Management" field in material master, batch management is activated for the material in that plant.
1. How do prevent user to tick "Batch Management" field in the material master which appears in the following views (depending on the material types):?
- Sales: General/Plant
- Purchasing
- Plant data/Stor.1
- Work Scheduling
2. Is there any alternate way to prevent user to activate "Batch Management" in that material of their own plant despite it is activated at plant level in the configuration?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Rgds,
Esther Chong

batch status management is just what its name says, you manage your batches with status (unreastricted use, restricted use).
But his comes only into place after you have activated batch managment, it is not causing batch managment, it is only working with batch managment.
Removing batch managment is almost impossible, you have to archive all batches first, to be able to archive the batches, you have to archive the production orders...creation of a new material is in most cases easier and quicker.
Wit batch managment at plant level each plant can independently decide if a material is batch managed or not.
if you want to restrict the entry of the batch management flag, then you have to customize your material master field selection at plant level.

Unmark batch management at Material Master Record.

Hi all:
Is it possible to unflag the batch management mark from a material (with an existent batch) and use it again?
The material is already marked for batch management use. An initial stock (with batch) was made.
Then a necessity to unflag (batch management) the material; arised.
Stock was deleted and batch marked for deletion at Plant and batch stock level.
The system doesn't permit to unmark the batch management because it says that "Batches already exist".
Thanks for any help.

Hi
It is not simple task. Make sure you don't have any stock left in the concerned plant(s) for the present and the previous month (the batch management flag is valid for all storage locations of a plant).
Archive/delete all existing batches for the concerned plant(s).
Now you should be able to unflag batch management.

How to Setup Batch Management Level (Material vs Client)

Hi Experts,
I had a question about the level at which I should be setting up Batch Management. The requirements that we have are:
- We want uniqueness in the batch being created.
- We have split valuation active at the Batch Level.
Hence, we have nailed down to the following 2 options: 1. Client level or 2. Material level. (I know that I will not be using Plant level because we do a lot of STO's and we do not want to lose the characteristics in the Batch at the plant level. So the plant level is out of scope.)
Client Level: Although the client level gives us the uniqueness and supports most of our requirements, my fear with going at the client level is that it is too rigid and MAY cause problems in the future. Is that true? What would be issues/ concerns that you have faced when you have had Batch Management activated at the client level.
Material Level: If I setup the system at this level, I would like to be able to create a Batch number for a material across the entire client only once. E.g. MAT1 can have BATCH 123 only once across the whole client. MAT 2 can have BATCH 123 but the Material# and the Batch # uniqueness should be maintained thoroughly.
I would like to try out this level but my problem is I am unable to understand and setup this level completely. I have gone through some pretty good discussion on this topic but still am unable to understand it thoroughly. The link to this discussion is (http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=80407). If you refer to this link, it says u2013 Client/ Material Level. What does client/material level mean? Can you please help me understand it. Also, if I setup Batch management at this level, I would like the system to auto-generate numbers for me exactly as I have mentioned above. Is there a way to do so? I was trying to setup the BATCH_MAT number range object with the batch level at Material level but the system seems to always default to the BATCH_CLT level and give us numbers. Is there a way to fix the system to check the BATCH_MAT number range object and give the batch numbering per my requirements. What happens if I use the Material Level Batch management with BATCH_CLT number range object?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Check following customizing:
Logistics General --> Batch Management --> Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management
If you want to change the batch level, you have to start conversion to activate the change.
Note that you cannot reset conversion from plant level to a higher level, read the documentation for customizing of
"Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management".
If you want to work with same batches for different materials, you should use "Batch unique at material level".
Logistics General --> Batch Management --> Batch Number Assignment
Here you can define how the system should create batch numbers.

Deactivate batch management

but we reversed the stocks but still i am not able to deactivate batch management in material master
Pl Guide how to deactive the batch management in MMR.
regards,
Vimlesh

Hi,
Please, delete any open documents and reverse any material movements on this material. If batches - even zero stock batches - are still assigned to the material, delete them and reorganize the tables MCH1, MCHA and MCHB. At this point the flag can be changed, also consider that :
1) If you want to change the batch management, it is not enough to
check for stock. You must also reorganize all existing batches for the
material. You can do this using the TA MM73 and MM74 or SARA. After
you have reorganized the batches you should be able to change
the batch management. The Object to use in the txn SARA is MM_SPSTOCK.
(You must first set the deletion flag for the batch using txn MSC2N. )
2) If you have defined the batch level in the TA OMCE to 'unique at
material level' it is not possible to turn off the batch management
flag in one plant. You can can only turn it off for all plants at the
same time. That means if you want to turn it off, the system checks
all plants for the existence of stock. In other words, the batch
management flag will be the same for all plants at any time if you
use the batch level 'unique at material level'.
Hope this can help

How to upload PO text of material master ?

dear gurus,
how to upload PO text in material master in mass , can i use LSMW or BDC ? if yes then how?
I have done the recording but LSMW is not working for PO text.
Upesh khairnar.

Hi!
try using Purchasing Inforecord for this. in here you maintain master data linkage for Material Master and Vendor Master. You will just have to input the Material Number, the Vendor Account, and the Purchasing Org. In here you can maintain the PO text defaulted per Material Number. After the maintenance of Inforecord, the PO text will be reflected on the PO document.
Here is the ff Transaction Code:
- ME11 (Create Inforecord)
- ME12 (Change Inforecord)
- ME13 (Display Inforecord)
Hope this helps, Thank you.

How to reset planned price in material master

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me how to reset planned price in material master.
my user has run ck40n with wrong values, but i am not able to reverse costing run by using ckr1 or ck44. what could be the reason behind this.
even after executing tcode ckr1, i can still see the standard cost in material master.
how to reverse the costing run.
Thanks in advance
Suresh

Hi,
If you want reset you can delete the cuurent planned price in the material master for the cuurent period,
Use t.code CKR1, you have to enter comapny code, plant,material
In control parameters you have to choose radio button Current Standard Cost Estimates
Current Standard Cost Estimates
If you set this indicator, the system will select the current standard cost estimates for deletion.
If you also set the Additive cost estimates indicator, then additive cost estimates will be selected for deletion.

How to remove Batch Management Check in the Material

I have one requirement to remove batch management check in the materials which should not be deleted.
I created a testing material with batch management check on and put in material through 561, then did good issue for
scrapping to remove the stock out. So existing stock is zero in Material Master.
Then deleted the batch in MSC2N by putting all the delete checks on. There was just one batch created for the material.
Then ran transaction MM74 to archive, the spool request is as below:
MCHB: 000000000010000498 2002 1002 D000000200 entry archived                             1 000000000010000498
Archiving Session Number                                  000004
Number of Written Data Objects                                1
Size of Archiving Session in MB                           0,011
Proportion of Header Data in %                             96,7
Then in MMPV changed the closing period to may as all the postings were performed in april.
Now still when I go and remove the batch management check in MM02 Purchasing view, still gives we DISPLAY ERROR message:
The batch management requirement cannot
be changed for the follow
Batches already exist.
ANY IDEAS why its not allowing me to remove the check as I guess I have performed all the steps required.

Check whether the batch master is still exists in MSC3N .if it ia archived it should not be avialble in MSC3N
Refer note:30656
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
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 to change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator again.
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 (that is, 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. However, note that the postings are then carried out using the changed master data from the current period (for example, account determination and so on)

How to remove Batch Management in the Material

Hi All,
The Batch Management indicator for a Material was accidentally activated, thus upon goods movement the system required user to enter a Batch Number. The user, not knowing the implications, entered a Batch Number.
Now we want to remove the Batch Management indicator, I already asked the user to reverse the goods movement posted and have the Batch Number flagged for deletion at both Plant and Storage Location Level via MSC2N.
MM02 still won't allow the removal of the tick mark in the indicator.
There are options I have looked at:
1) Create a new Material Code in place of the old one.
2) Archive the Batch Number then try to remove the tick mark via MM02 - will this even work out?
But the priority is still to retain the same Material Code. Is there any other way/option?
Thanks a lot!!! =)

It is a little painful but here are the basic steps.
Remove all stock.
Cancel all demand, no requisitions, no purchase orders,
production orders etc. Transaction MD04 must be empty.
Use transaction MSC2N to place a deletion indicator on every
past batch for that material prior to the end of your fiscal period or
month.
Run transaction MM74 to archive the "flagged for deletion" batch
numbers.
In the next period or month go to transaction MM02 and remove
the batch flag from the material master.
hope it helps
