Initial stock load of batch managed materials

Hi,
We are using batch management for FERT materials. The class type 022 is being used for creating batch class. The class has been assigned to six characteristics.
We need to load the initial stock of all these FERT items with batches with corresponding classification values within the batch. I know that system creates the batches during initial load. However, it does not provide the classification button. This is the issue only for 561 movement. For all other receipts we get the classification button.
Can anybody help me understand if I am missing any config or I am following wrong process to upload initial stock with batches.
Thank you for all your help you could provide.
-Shekhar

Can you please explain me the process of "load the classification for the batches".
We have materials with class 022. In CL20N it asks for material and class type. Using this we can enter the characterstics values for a material, but not batch.
I can change the batch to enter the characterstics values. Is it supposed to be that way? I mean do I have to load the classification using MSC2N? Or I am missing something?
Thanks,
-Shekhar

Changing SLED date on non Batch Managed Materials

Is it possible to change the SLED date on QUANTS for Materials that are not batch managed? This date is originally recorded in the Goods Receipt (MIGO).
The SLED is displayed in the LS24 Bins Stock per Material Report.
Where this is incorrect on Batch Managed Materials the SLED date can be changed on the Batch in MSC2N, however for non Batch Managed Materials it does seem possible to change it.

The SLED field only exists in the quant when shelf life management is active in Materials Management (MM). This happens when the material master is maintained accordingly.
During a stock placement in MM you can enter either the production date or the shelf life expiration date. This depends upon whether the field Remaining shelf life has been maintained in the material master record. For example, if 10 days have been entered into this field, the system assumes that when goods are received, the production date was entered and calculates the shelf life automatically. If you leave this field empty in the material master, the system makes it possible for you to directly enter the shelf life expiration date.
This date that is entered or calculated during the goods receipt is then noted in the quant that is created in the storage bin. If you add stock to an existing quant in a storage bin, the shelf life expiration date of the new quantity that is added is lost.

Inventory Count for Batch Managed materials - Plant, S.Loc and Batch Wise

Hi.,
In the company's current scenario, the printing of batch managed materials are scheduled under 3 Job names.
1. First job determines the materials/batches that need to be created today using Program RM07ICN1
2. Second Job Processes the BDC Session created by Program RM07ICN1 using Program: RSBDCSUB
3. Third Job prints the Inventory tickts at the appropriate Storage location using Program: RM07IDRU
Each Job has its own variant.
The Variant for SL.No 1 is defined w.r.t
i. Material Type : Two Material types have been defined
ii. Under selection variable, GIDAT ( Planned count date and GBDAT are flagged.
Current Analysis:
A. The inventory documents get printed with Materials as per the cycle counting indicators defined which govern which material has to be currently counted.
B. Inventory documents are generated for all materials in all the plants and in all the storage locations
C. Batches for a material number may print on different cycle count documents throughout the year.
Customer requirement:
The inventory documents to print on basis of
1. Material, Plant and S.Loc.
This would help in identifying the batches which are currently being counted as well.
2. Customers requirement is to ensure that all batches are accounted for and will identify any overage of batches since in the current process, they are never reviewed as a whole.
QUESTION:
1. How to configure the Customer requriement.
2. How to configure the Variant/s, if thats the place the configuration has to be done to satisfy the customer.
3. How to activate the Variant in SE37 after definition in the Step Indicator. Does it activate on execution?
When i run the Program using SE38 , maintaining options in the Screen ( giving Material, Plant and S.loc), i get the desired list (Batches w.r.t Material,plant.S.Loc). But there is a list of over 150 Batch managed materials and it would not be physically possible to maintain the variant for each each Material,plant,S.loc wise.
Is there a way to configure the customer requirement/s.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Mahesh,
<b>Customer requrirement is specific, they want a list of Inventory Documents to be generated on basis of Material in each Plant-S.Loc batch wise.</b>
Then you need to define multiple varinat for the program.
<b>(a) If i am giving two variants in the same Program name RM07ICN1, how to execute one after after in sequence.
In testing, I have defined in the " Step", Progran RM07ICN1 with one variant and Program RM07ICN1 with another Variant. But on execution of Program RM07ICN1 thru SE38, the screen defined latter ( second variant screen data ) is displayed.</b>
You need to define several steps in SM36 transaction for the program using each variant. SE38 you can use only to save your variant data so later you can use this variant in SM36.
Once you schedule the job with SM36 and release it then it will automatically execute this job as per your criteria (timeline)
Hope this helps.

Initial stock load of QI stock

Hello
We are looking at initial stock loads and in particular QI stock. We want to load QI stock without creating inspectiion plans although we will want use them after stock load.
The only way I know of doing this would be to create the material master for everything but the QM screen, select the QI stock indicator in the purchasing screen then load the stock. Once completed, create the QM screens.
Or create the QM but use a control key that does not create inspection plans and then change the control key after data load.
Do any of you have another solution?
Kind regards
Sue

Thanks Jurgen, I think that this is what a lot of people do... Unfortunately my client would like to load it as Q from the beginning! Thank you again, this is very useful.
I think the problem they have is that the goods could stay in QI for quite some time.
Kind regards
Sue

Physical Inventory & Cycle Couting for Batch Managed Materials

Hi Friends, pls help me on this scenario
Physical Inventory
For a Batch Managed Materials we have hundreds materials and thousands of batches (each batch is equally imp)
So the first step would be
Create the documents with MI31 Batch Input session
Post the count with MI34 Batch Input Session
See the difference in MI37
MIDO we get to c the physical inventory overview.
correct me if i am wrong
Cycle Count
This is a seasonal Business and ABC analysis based on requirements n Consumption doesn't work for this process. Is there any way that we can configure the system in SAP which has the ability to fulfill the following scenario.
They shud be able to select a % of materials from the storage for every month and that way they shud finish counting all of them at the end of their season. Not based on any criteria, just a part of materials ...
hope i am clear on the requirement..please suggest me something
thanks

No, it will not match, it will create its own document in background.
Why do you have one created if you dont want to do a selection ?
You cannot create a document for 1000 materials and then only count 30.
You either create a document for 30 and count 30 and enter it with MI04, or you dont create a document with SAP, count based on any other paperwork and enter the count as I said with MI09.

How to Handle Batch Managed materials in AII

Hi,
We are trying out various scenarios with AII one of then including how does AII handle Batch Managed materials. While creating a delivery we provide Batch information, but this is not going to AII, as AII is only interested in EPC codes, quantity and UOM.
We are able to successfully get tags into AII but the delivery IDOC fails to post in the ERP system cause it is expecting BATCH information.
Would appreciate any ideas on the same, we have tried posting the BATCH_ID in the PML document header as well as at the TAG level but have not been successful so far, Are we missing some steps?
- Aniruddha

Hi Aniruddha,
AII does not support the extension fields ( like BATCH_ID) directly from UI ie. mobile or Auto ID Cockpit
Incase you are testing through Auto Id Test Tool, you can assign these fields under tags data list in Tags tab.
The way of passing these fileds from auto id test tool is to select the EPC being passed and add the field BATCH_ID under tag data list. This will add the extension field to the XML being sent to XI.
As far as sending it through UI is concerned then development option has to be explored. For mobile UI, you can think of creating a user data profile and add such fields to the rule being processed. You can refer to way SAP has defined Z_CON_FIELDS element set in the config guides.
I hope this should help you in finding a solution to your problem.

Ashish

Replenishment of fixed bins for batch managed materials.

WM - Replenishment of Fixed Bins. Batch selection and full pallet selection
My issue is as follows: I am performing the replenishment of fixed bin based on SD deliveries. Stock is batch managed and batch selection is based on the shortest expiry date. If there is both a partial and full pallet of a particular batch of a material in the source warehouse, the full pallet will always be proposed in the TO, before the partial pallet. Is there a way of forcing the selection of a partial pallet before the full pallet?

Removal of material based on quantities could be driven by using picking strategy 'M'. This is closest option that I could think of that matches your requirement. If this does not meet your requirements then you may have use a custom picking strategy via exit MWMTO004.

List of Batch managed materials

how to get the list of batch managed material in SAP
Is there any standard report??

Hi,
If the above mentioned reports not satifies your requirement please go to the MARA table and get the list of materials with batch management box is ticked. The batch management selection will be updated in MARA table. According to my knowledge there is no standard report other than these to satisfy your requirement. Thanking you.

Material to material stock transfer with batch management and scrap

Hello
Here i have an requirement that
Raw Material A maintained in Batches. Raw Material B is also maintained in batches. A and B are used in two different finished products.A and B are with the same material properties except the size. that is Size of B is half of A.
Now some times if B material is not readily available in the stores then A is cut into two halves and then material to material Transfer posting need to be carried out.
Now while cutting A into two pieces there may be chances of scrap .so how to address the scrap in SAP.
How to map this Scenario in SAP

Dear,
Would like to suggest the following: Basing on your client requirements and existing business scenarios following, not sure how far will be suits this.
Since both materials are same except the size,
In case of shortage of material B, material A used by cutting its size in to half.
In this case, issue material A to production cost center as it is (i.e in its original size). Using movement type 201.
Once transferred to production, can carry out the cutting in half and here consider the scrap and post the scrap using 551 Q movement.
I think no need for transfer material to material in this case.

Syed Hussain.

**Batch managed and serial number managed partial stock bin 2 bin transfer

Hi Experts,
I have my stock which is batch managed and also serial number managed. Now if i want to perform partial stock transfer from one bin to another i use LT01 with movement type 999 i am able to see the batch (suppose i just want to transfer material 1 of batch # 100). This batch # 100 has 10 materials with different serial numbers. But when i use LT01 i can see the batch of the material but not the specific serial number of the material that i am transferring.
My question----- Is there any specific transaction where i can also see the serial number of that material that i am transfering to another bin or is it some thing that needs to be customized?
Regards
Albert

Hi ,
Just check with Tr.Code : 'IQ09'
There are many options available.

Initial Inventory Load - 561 mvmt type, FIFO Valuation

Hello,
We have a requirement wherein the client wants to have the Initial Inventory Load (Mvmt 561) to be valuated as FIFO.
My understanding is, Initial Inventory Load will always be valuated at Std. Price / Moving Avg. Price.
Can we have Initial Inventory Load valuated using FIFO, if so can you please explain in detail.
Note: Not every Material being loaded is Batch Managed and am not sure if Batch Mgmt is a requirement for FIFO valuation.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Bharat.

FIFO is a year end valuation,
you can load initial inventory with 561 and use the external value field to enter whatever value you want, SAP then updates the MAP in material master accordingly.

PP-PI - Process message processing and batch management in PI_CONS message

Hi All,
Hope you can help me to find the better solution... I will try to explain my scenario
Scenario: to control the production run PP-PI module is in use. Process order are created in SAP system and then transferred to the process control system where the execution of the process order is controlled On-line. Once per month the confirmations are transferred from this control system to SAP. In the Process control system batch are not managed. For good issue posting standard process message PI_CONS is used.
Now we have the situation that some raw materials used for process order processing are managed with batch. During the process order creation the batch related with this raw materials can be determined, only during the month when the raw material is entered in the plant is where the batch is determined. At the end of the month the batch of this materials is available in the SAP system (not in the process control system). Due to behavior of PI_CONS regarding batch if this characteristic is not informed in the process message or in the reservation an issue is trigger.My doubts are:
1.- If I need inform the batch during this confirmation ,an even split the quantities in the process message according the batch availability, I'm force to use a custom process message or there is other workaround? (remember is not feasible send the batch to the process control system)
2.- probably i miss something because I'm can't debug the execution of the process message. How can I debug the execution of a manually created process message?
Sorry for the long explanation I try to explain my scenario as better as possible.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

Thanks for your replay.
No really I don't like to make the batch mandatory, during the good issue is not feasible inform the batch due to it is not managed in the Process Control System. Due to the behavior of PI_CONS if for batch managed materials the batch is not informed in the message or in the reservation an error is trigger. In the reservation snot feasible inform the batch because in that moment is unknown.
My question is if it is feasible some how have like FIFO batch determination when the process message is processed without creating a custom message.
Thanks in advance

The templates you will need are
Documents.xlt
Document_Lines.xlt
BatchNumbers.xlt
Documents template sample
RecordKey...DocDate......... DocDueDate
1.................20080106...... 20080106
Document Lines template sample
RecordKey....LineNum.. AccountCode....... ItemCode..... Price...... Quantity......WarehouseCode
1.................. 0........ _SYS00000000xxx...... A1......... 100.00....... 20................. 01
1.................. 1........ _SYS00000000xxx...... B2.......... 180.00...... 30................. 01
Batch Numbers template sample

SAP RVBCONVMAT2BM Set Batch Management to materials with stock

Dear Gurus:
We are trying to make mass changes in material master, to activate arround 2,000 materials with batch management flag. We heard about the SAP program release RVBCONVMAT2BM, to let us do it in ma massive action.
Could anyone of you can give me support to get this program?
In other way, the tasks to be done manually will be not succesful because we currently have more than one month of operations in SAP.

Hi Jose,
The report could only be provided by SAP developer after evaluate the specific situation on your system. I think the evaluation process should be very complex and that is why your reported issue has been hold at SAP for such a long time, also only a completed evaluation is done, the SAP developer could provide the report, this is to ensure the data consistency in your system because change the batch management indicator with material stock is a very dangerous bevavior, this could only be done under a strict check. You can't run this report by your own if this is not provided by SAP, because if it cause any serious database inconsistency by running this report without evaluation from SAP developer, then SAP will not responsible for the result and will not help you correct the situation, so I suggest you should better have some pacient and wait for the update from SAP developer, or you may escalate your issue to require a quick process.

Rachel
