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

Batch Management Indicator Required - Material Master

Hello,
My requirement -
Batch management field has to be required for material Type "FERT"
1) I created a new field selection group for the field "batch management" (MARA-XCHPF)
2) Created a new Field Reference group with "Required" entry (OMS9)
3) Assigned the New Field Reference to the material Type in OMS2
The batch management Field is now a mandatory field.
Issue is, when we try to create only the basic Data Views of a FERT material, system does not allow to save the material untill the "Batch Management Indicator" is activated (even if we are not referencing to any plant specific views of the material master.)
We need to have the the Batch management indicator a required entry for FERT, but at the same time should be able to create material master with basic data Field only (we would be extending the plant specific views later)
Is there a alternative method to have this setting to meet the requirements above?
Thanks

Hi
I think you can check if the batch level is defined on material or client now, if yes, you may check if that can be switched to plant level. As far as I knw the basic data is for client so the field is shown on basic data view and ask to input value as you customized.
Alternatively, I think you can use the user exit MGA00001to check the field instead of the field selection, this is called when the material master get saved, then you can write your own source code to chec if the customer filled the field only for certain situations.
Best Regards.
Leon.

Change Batch Management Flag in Material Master

TCode : MM17
Select General Material Data MARA
Execute(F8)
Enter Material Number
Execute(F8)
Click on Select Fields Icon above New Values under General Material Data tab
Choose "Batch Management"
Check/Uncheck Flag for Batch Management & Save

Hi there,
Besides the note 30656 , there are two important points to be take into your consideration:
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 MCH2.
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 helps!

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,

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.

351 movmnt type doesnot refers the Batch managed items with respect to P.O

Dear SAP Gurus,
For Stock transport order, i am using the 351 and 101 movement type.
The batch managed items are provided in the Purcahse order and the same batch is displayed while receiving the material -101 movement ytpe with respect to Purchase order, but while performing the Goods issue - 351 movement type , the batch is not displayed in the line item.
Kindly help me to solve this
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards,
R.Diwakar

Dear SAP Guru,
Thanks for your kind response
yes, the batch managed material is already available in both plants that is material already extended.
Manually the batch is entered by the receiving plant (what they required for STO), but while performing the Good issue against the Stock Transfer order the batch is not referred or automatically flows to the batch managed items.
in 351 movement type.
Kindly guide me on this.
Thanks and Regards,

Specific Identification Cost for batch managed items (Follow-Up from P2P)

Specific Identification Cost method is used for serial and batch managed item. Using this method, the outbound cost of such items would be the original cost of specific goods, which can be determined according to the serial or batch number of that item.
Business One allows the user to receive batch managed items with a batch number that already exists in the DB. Its possible that the received quantity is added to on-hand quantity in the warehouse. In such case, the quantity on-hand of that batch and the received quantity may have different costs.
What should be the system behavior in such case:
1. Block receipts to the same batch with different costs.
2. Write the difference to a price difference account, as done in Standard Cost method.
3. Manage the batch cost with Moving Average method.
This thread is continuation from 'Specific Identification Cost for batch managed Items' <a href="http://p2p.sap.com/businessoneforum?type=join&login=1&uid=41FB661A76CED536C825C4E2B6FF4397&cid=91&go=z37225">discussion</a> in P2P SAP Business One Forum (Product Development Collaboration).
Previous discussion on P2P is summarized in the attached file.

Hi Peter,
This is a very important functionality that you are describing here. For example, in the Steel industry, it could be extremely useful to cost by batch or serial number.
If you receive a batch that already exists in the system and if the costing method for the product is moving average, then teh cost of the batch should be calculated based on the moving average as well.
If the costing method is standard, then the cost should go in a variance account.
If the costing method is FIFO, then it is a getting trickier...

Wants to activate batch management for a material which already had a Stock

hi,
i want to activate batch management for a material which already has a stock and open Purchasing documents.
is there any way by which we can do it without removing the same.
please help.

program name is RVBCONVMAT2BM
but i am doubtfull it will be delivered with standard SAP, you need to request you from SAP as they charge for this.
this program convert the material to batch and all relevant dependant documents will be updated with batch no.
Regards,
Pravin Mukkawar
pasting some description of the program
REPORT rvbconvmat2bm.
Report illustrates the call of function module VBZ0401_CONVERT_OBJECTS
which sets the batch management flag for one material including
depending objects. Function module VBZ0401_FILL_BUFFERS helps
improving the performance.
then logic......

Is it possible to activate Batch Management for a material without Class?

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to activate Batch Management for a material without having Class & Characteristics maintained. As my requirement is to procure Fuels in Batches only with external no. assignment without any parameters to be checked at the time of Goods Receipt? Batches are needed for Accountability purpose.

Please check this answered link:
Batch-classification view
If you want classify a batch, then you should have maintained the batch classification in material master which is either class 022 or class 023 (depends on your batch level set in cusotmizing). The material class 001 has no impact on the batch classifcition, it is what it is: a classification for the material.

Changing Batch Management Level from Material to Plant

Hi all,
We are investigating changing our batch management level from material to plant to meet business requirements.
SAP has pointed us to a note with a program to reset the batch level, as well as highlighting some things to look out for.
I've conducted the change in a playpen system and so far it looks relatively straightforward, with complexities arising only when characteristics exist, or when a batch exists in multiple plants.
Seems that batch master data is moved from MCH1 to MCHA, including the object link number to classification. Unfortunately it seems a limitation of the conversion is that the batch master data is copied to ONE plant only in MCHA, no doubt due to the fact the object number link to classification must be unique.
My question is this: has anyone performed this change before, and if so can you offer me any advice on what to look out for, or potential problems that arose after the change?
Any help or comments are appreciated.
Mark.

hi..
first of all try this simple one...
You will have to delete all the materials, remove stock and then switch the batch management flag.
Or
To convert the batch from plant level to material there is Conversion Program defind by the SAP...
1. For all releases lower than Release 4.5B, implement the corrections and the modification in the report RM07CHDX as described in the correction instructions.
2. Create the report ZCHTCUCH, which is specified in the attachment.
3. Run this report in the clients for which you want to reset batch level to plant level.
4. Call transaction OMCT.
5. Check whether the batch level for "Batch unique at plant level" is set.
6. Implement Notes 821891, 944278, 950540 and 1091613 if you have not already done so (or you have not imported the corresponding Support Package).
7. Execute the function "Batch Level -> Conversion".
8. Define a plant for a plant view that may be missing.
9. Always execute the report in the test mode first. Analyze the error log.
10. If no errors occur, you can execute the report in production mode.
11. If you are working with batch long texts, first execute the report ZM07CHDX_TEXT in test mode.
try this out..hope is works,,
Thanks..

Purchasing info records for PO-items without material master

Hi gurus,
I would like to have the system automatically determine certain settings (e.g. reminder/urging data).
For PO-items with material master there is no problem, because all information can be stored in the purchasing info record, and are automatically found when I enter the material number.
For items without material number/master I tried to generate a info record for the material group. When I enter the no. of the info record, everything works fine. But the info record is not automatically found, if I only enter the material group no.
Is there any way to make the system find the info record by itself?
Thanks
Alicia

Thanks to both of you!
Priyanka:
How can you create a source list for a material group? I thought this was possible for materials only!?
Of course, you cannot have more than one info record at a time for a material group. But one would be enough for me...
Dhruba:
Thanks for the advice, but I know how to manually select a info record. The point is, I'd like to have the system determine it according to the material group I enter.
Any other ideas?
Alicia
