How to handle Shelf Life in hours - R/3 ECC6.0

Hi All,
There are certain materials that expire by 18hrs post their production. From what I've seen, R/3 facilitates handling of Shelf Life Expiration in days.
How to get SLED to work with number of hours?? Is there a way this can be d

Folks,
On the Plant Data Storage Location view of the material master (for the Shelf Life Expiration Data) there is a field for Time Period with one of the options as HR (hours).
The lowest "Period Unit" that one can choose, however, for the SLED is "D" (days). I have this requirement of tracking Shelf Life Expiration control in number of hours for certain materials & hence invoke batch determination using SLED.
Could anyone share their expertise on the use of the hours in this and/or how could SLED be managed in number of hours??
Thanks in advance

How to check Vendor issue stock shelf life

Hi,
As I know, Tcode--MB5M is for checking shelf life for normal stock material.
The question from our user is to check the batch shelf life which has been transferred from our restrict stock to vendor issue retrict stock. MB5M seems not make it...
Thanks a lot.

Hi Pankaj,
Thanks firstly. But Tcode-MBLB is for checking the stock in subcontracting.
What I am seeking for is a transaction to check the shelf life of the stock. ( In our system, we use batch management..So the exact question should be that how to check the shelf life of batch which is under subcontracting stock.)
If you try Tcode-MB5M, you would know this tcode is for checking batch shelf life under normal stock, but it could not used for checking the shelf life of batch under subcontracting.
Thanks alot.

Check shelf life while GI

dear all,
I have configured batch determination for raw material to produce a SFG. I have mentained shelf life period for that raw material.
I have also mentained sort rule characteristic LOBM_VFDAT.
But when we do backflush for this raw material system also selects batches which are expired ie whose shelf life is comleted.
I want to restrict those batches which are expired for GI. how can I achieve this? Is any configuration i am missing?

Dear SJ,
Deadline montoring has two pieces to its program. The top section is the section for creating inspection lots. It uses the next inspection date.
The second section handles actual expired material. It uses the batch expiration date. If you don't want to create inspection lots, leave the window value null in the first section and don't activate any 09 inspection types.
The deadline monitoring program will first, (if a value is in the window field of the second section. sj - make sure you enterred at least a one here.. that might be why its not working for you), look at batches in unrestricted inventory and will move them to blocked stock if they will expire within the window value of days. i.e. if you but 10 in as the window value, it will move all batches to blocked stock that will expire in the next ten days. You do not need any QM active to utilize this part of the program.
After moving batches to blocked stock, it then looks at unrestricted inventory for batches that will reach their next inspection date within in the window specified. If the 09 inspection type is active, it will create an inspection lot and handle stock according to the selected radio button.
Keep in mind that if a batch reaches the inspection date and expiration date at the same time, the batch will be in blocked stock with no inspection lot since the expiration portion of the program runs first.
I usually set up the program to run twice, first to just create inspection lots, and then second, to move expired material.

Shelf life expiration dates for finished goods

Hi,
Is there any opportunities with in SAP to block the finished goods once it reaches the
self life expiration goods AUTOMATICALLY.Our business requirement is particularly interested in this requirement.ONLY FINISHED GOODS,BLOCKING AUTOMATICALLY.
UPON EXPIRY OF SHELF LIFE EXPIRATION DATE.
With regards,

Hi Charu Bela,
Thanks for your reply.
I checked your reply and found with OMJ5 settings for movement type 101 in production goods receipt,if material master data is maintained in Shelf life details in plant storage, then production date field will prompt.
Moving forward,Once i give the production date here for any finished goods,then,I believe system will calculate the SLED (Self life expiration date ) automatically,right? accordingly system will block these finished goods.
Also,In ware house management how these kind of materials are handled? Is there any specific transaction codes in WM?.
Also,If you know specific tables for SLED ,Kindly help to understand.
Your answer is appreciated.
With regards,

Drive Utility Help Viewer "does not know how to handle selected URL"

I have Drive Utility 10.5.6, according to . I'm trying to reformat a FAT32 partition on an external drive to Mac OS X Ext. Journaled in preparation for using SuperDuper to back up my Mac HD boot partition. For a time, which seems to have passed, now that erasing the partition has been done. The Disk Utility Help wouldn't work. Instead of putting up topic information, I got a message saying "Help Viewer does not know how to handle selected URL", followed by an reference to an html file that allegedly existed inside a set of folders inside the app. Where, of course, Finder cannot see. Once the erasing was done, Help seems to have come back. I tried Apple Support, but could only get a reference to OS 9 Appleworks macros not working in OS X. No help at all. Is this a question? I don't know. Help is working now. But for a while it was very annoying. It must be one of those little windows glitches that no one ever bothered to fix.

In order to change a FAT or NTFS formatted drive for use with OS X you will need to do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
If you have an Intel Mac and can partition the drive using GUID then you can have FAT32 and OS X partitions on the same drive.
As for problems with the Help viewer see:
In most cases doing the following will restore the Help Viewer:
1. Trash the following three files, if extant:
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
2. Trash the /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui folder.
3. Empty the Trash and Restart.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on the Help Viewer for additional suggestions.

Packing Material with Batch Management and Shelf life expiration date check

Dear All,
          I created a packing material and activated batch managemnt with shelf life.
            At the time of GR the batch should be created automatically or if i want to create a batch manually for some materials how to do it in the system.
                     Help me

Before going ahead with the batch creation,
you need to activate the batch mngmnt level (i.e.Client,plant,material level)
And also activate the Nor.ranges.
Then Create the Classification,Characteristics and assign the Chrctstics to Class.
Then create the batch
T Code:
CT04 create Char.

Shelf life /Expiry

Dear All,
1-if a material is expired then how can i restrict it to assign on an order,
2- MRP checks for shelf life and takes into account expired material or not.

Hi,
I think shelf life cannot be considered during MRP planning in R/3, maybe in SAP APO you can solve your problem:

Doubts in Shelf life scenarios........

Hi All,
I have some doubts regarding Shelf life scenarios:-
1. In material master there are 2 fields in Plant/stor.1 view those are Min. rem. shelf life and Total shelf life.
   the field "Total shelf life" is ok. this field means in how long the perticular product will get useless and we can decide it at the time of material master creation for ex. for a perticular material it may be 30 days or 4 months etc.
but how can be decide the field Min. rem. shelf life bcoz as I know its mean How many days are remaining to get the product useless.and we can decide this field, if we know the manufactring date of product and total shelf life. hence we can calculate it
as suppose total shelf life for a product= 30 days
                   Manufacturing date = 1 jan 2010
                   current date = 20 Jan 2010
so Min. rem. shelf life   = 10 days
but here in material master how to calculate Min. rem. shelf life,and why its mandatory field, if we put Total shelf life field.
2.whats the use of Rem. shelf life field in po or what will its impact,while shelf life is only provide the impact to GR.
3.In GR,its mandatory to put the date in the field "Date of Manufacture" or we can get it any other ways excluding batch.
4.In GR there are a field "Shelf Life Exp. Date" ,we can get through Date of Manufacture (from gr) + Total Shelf Life (from Material Master) here again then whats the use of "Min. rem. shelf life" field shows in Material master and PO.

Hi Himanshu,
I mean if a goods are recived under the expiration date and min shelf life is also ok.
First of all no business will allow to receive already expired date into the premises.
but goods are issue at that time when date has been expired,so how this scenario is run/maintained.
At this instance system will throw an error while Goods issue " Goods expired , kindly check expiry date".
Hope this helps.

Shelf Life Expired Material will automatically be transferred to block stk

Hi,
We have purchased a material, RM u2013 XYZ, Qty u2013 5000 kg, Mfg date u2013 01.06.2010 and Expire date is 30.09.2011. The material was received on 25.06.2010. Presently the stock of material is lying as unrestricted type.
I want to know that when the shelf life of the material will be expired, the material will atomically be transferred to block stock. How do I configure the same?
Further, is there any standard alarming system as to know the shelf life of material is going to be expired?
Regards,
Amit

The problem is that the section of the program (QA07) that blocks the stock runs first. Therefor all "expired" stcok within the time frame specified is moved. When the program runs the section to create inspection lots, it will only take into consideration stock that is in unrestricted stock. Since the stocks have already been moved to blocked stock, there is no stock in unrestricted inventory and hence no inspection lots.
In your case, in the section "Batch status change when expiration date is reached" you need to untick the "Block batch" and remove and values iin "Initial run in days" in this section.
In the section above that tick on "Block batch at inspection date" and maintain a value in "Initial run in days".
This will have the effect of creating lots when the next inspection date falls within the window specified and will move the material to blocked stock on the inspection date.
Keep in mind that this is all working on the "Next Inspection Date" of the batch. Not the expiration date. So you should have a process to keep the next inspection date and the expriation date in sync.
To cover yourself and make sure that batches are blocked if the expriation date is reached, set up QA07 to run again immediately after the above job. In the varinat for this run, tick back on the "Block batch" and set a value in the "Initial run in days". This will then block any stocks missed in the inspection lot creation process above.
Also see the folowing threads which explain the deadline mointoring program. There is a lot of info on this process on the net.
