Mass release of an order for an existing batch

UP of previous post
Gurus,
At my client we are currently facing an issue on CO05N whenever releasing an order on an SKU for which the production batch already exists.
Log. General -> Batch Management -> Creation of new batches -> Define batch creation for production order / Process order
=> In our set up production batch is created automatically at PO and batch classification is carried out in background.
For SKU A we use poduct expiration date as the batch number, for this reason if i happen to plan two production orders on two production lines for the same SKU (say PO#1 will start at 1am on Line 1 and PO#2 will start at 5 am on Line 2). When i launch mass release with CO05N, PO#1 will be released normally but PO#2 will not be released and error message will mention "Batch 2012.04.09 for material 13917 in plant 2401 already exists" (Message no. M7838).
If i enter CO02 for PO#2 and release from there, the batch from PO#1 is selected and PO is released upon saving.
Scenario : 2 PO for which GR will be done on the same batch (created at PO release)
Both PO are released through CO05N
Step 1 : PO#1 released -> Batch created
Step 2 : PO#2 release begins -> Error appear since batch ALREADY exists from Step 1.
This does not happen if you try to release PO#2 from CO02.
Is there a way to replicate this behaviour on mass release process ?
If not could you give functional insight on SAP designs on this specific points ?
Thanks in advance for your feedbacks,
Olivier

Hi,
Sorry it was mistake posting.
Any way for that (PO) material assign automatic batch determination method and then flag it in material master and then do the GR.
I hope it helps you.

Release a production order for partial quantity

Hi gurus,
Can you please tell me how can i release a production order for partial quantity without splitting the order?
Regards
Rajib Pathak

Dear,
Best way you can conver the planned order to production oreder in partial in CO40.
Or from MD04 screen click the planned order, choose pratial release and enter the quantity you want to release and press Generate button. the order gets converted to production orders of yr specified quantity and rest planned order remains for further processing.
Or,
Create order
Goto operation overview
Select the operation and click on release button...which will release the opration alone instead of releasing the order. If you release the order, then all the eperatios are released onec for all.
If you go for operation release...you can release operation by operation, which will be partial release of order at header level.
at operation level - partial release
Hope it will help you.

Mass creation of Service orders for a Field Action

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to mass create service orders for a service action. Basically we have a part that we want to update in the
field that is not part of an IBASE record. We would like to replicate an exact service order, one time, for each of our
customers. This is something that is done on a fairly regular basis. To avoid errors in manual entry, I was wondering if
this is a method to deal with this in CRM? I have seen this done with CATT in ECC.
Thank you,
Nanda

Hi All,
I tried using LSMW to create service orders, but I found out from SAP that batch Input is not a supported channel to load business data into the CRM system anymore! So can anyone suggest me a better way to mass create service orders?
I have tried using eCATT as well and this didn't work. I have created one service order (template) for each of the customers and whenever I need to edit these service orders (ex. with a new product), I want to be able to do this automatically by using the list of service order templates and the new product. Will a BDC work or can I use a BAPI to do this? Any suggestion/tips will be highly appreciated. I want to be able to copy the template to a new service order and then be able to add a new line item for the product, this should be repeated for all the service order templates.
Many Thanks,
Nanda

Mass Release of Purchase Order

Dear Experts ,
I have a requirement of releasing a PO en mass .
This is not like ME28 ( collective release ) . But something like ME55 , where we can select all & release all POs
Please let me know how is this possible ?
The requirement is due to the fact that the volume of a particular PO document type has suddenly increased a lot , & individially selecting POs for release is quite time consuming .
Also we need to keep the release startegy intact .
Please advice
Regards
Anis

Hello ,
Thanks for the reply .
Iin a single day we have about 2500 POs of a certain document type , which need to be released .
This is due to the sudden demand of the business & is likely to be a temporary phase .
But individually clicking 2500 lines in ME28 is in itself a time consuming task , unlike in ME55 , where there is a select all release all option .
We thought of devicing a new release startegy for the same ( where we would exclude the said document type from release procedure ) , but we need to retain the release procedure as this has a functional & operational significance .
Please advice us a way to expedite the relase of PO through the system
Regards
Anis

COR2 release flag(Process Order Release)

HI all,
can we release a work order from cor2
if yes where can we find that release flag
Thanks in Advance,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
Please find the process for releasing process order .
1.     Choose from menu Process order à Functions à Approval à Individual approval.
2.     Choose Materials and on the Create Process Order: Material List screen release the order by choosing Release (Ctrl + F6). Batch determination and creation of control recipe are carried out automatically.
3.     Save your entries.
For releasing a process order which already exists please use following steps:
4.     Access the transaction using:
Menu     Logistic à ProductionProcess à Process Order à Process Order à Change
Transaction code     COR2
5.     On the initial screen, enter the necessary data.
Process order          Your PO number
6.     Choose Enter.
7.     Choose Release (Ctrl + F6).
8.     Save your entry.
Result
When the process order is opened, material reservations for the required material components are created automatically or the specifications are transferred from the planned order. Purchase requisitions are created for material components or services that have to be procured externally. Capacity loads occur at the resources where the order is executed. The planned costs are also determined.
The following constraints apply to an opened process order:
·     You cannot carry out a confirmation for the order.
·     Shop floor papers cannot be printed.
·     You cannot generate a control recipe.
·     You cannot carry out goods movements for the order; in other words, the components cannot be withdrawn.
These constraints no longer apply when the order has been released.
During releasing the availability of the materials will be checked again. Automatic batch determination is carried out for the materials PH-1710, PH-1720 (or PH-1810, PH-1820, PH-1830 and PH-2700 respectively). In addition to this, the control recipe is created, preliminary costing is carried out, and the process instructions are generated.
Hope This Info Helps YOU.

Lakshmi

Batch Determination during Mass Release

Hi
I am performing mass release of process orders,system skips the release of some orders and i get the following error message.
"You must enter the batch for material".
I assume that the batch determination should happen automatically when we release process orders in mass. Batches are available for the components in stock bu t systen doen't pick them.
What might be the reason for this. Please let me know.
Thanks
Vithal

Hi Vithal,
Check the MRP2 view of material master of the materials whose process orders have problem.
Bch     Short Descript.
     Batch in goods issue; no confirmation required
1     Manual batch determination required upon release of order
2     Batch not required in prod./process order; confirmation reqd
3     Automatic batch determination upon release of order
Reasons can be many.But in MRP2 view for some material there may be entry 1 instead of 3.
Hope you will get hint.

Shailendra

Error while release of production order u201CNext period is not openu201D

Hi Experts,
Need your opinions on this issue where my client is facing a problem while create and release a production Order on the last day of the month (Last day of period change).
While create and release of production order for Plant xxxx, system uses to give the error; period Next (e.g. 12) is not open. Same thing if I have created the order using T. code CO01; but when I tried to release and save the order through T. code CO02 then it gave me the same error (Next period is not Open), it checks for the next period to open.
The above scenario happens only on last day of the month. Earlier this kind of error was not there so the question is why the period check is happening while saving the production order.
After speaking to the user, it is determined that they are facing this problem since upgrade (Since last 8 month). Hence need to check what additional check has been implemented with upgrade from R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.
Error Message No F5201
Appreciate your help how to dig up this issue.
With Regards
Anant

Hi Guys,
Please throw some light why on the last day of the month (Last day of period change) at the time of release the order user is getting error: Period Next (FI Next period) is not open ( message No. F5201).
My question is why system carried out period checks at the time of release of Production Order.

Sap pp-releasing the production order?

at are the activities carried out while releasing the production order?

Hi,
Order Release
Use
A production order must be released, before it can be processed. You can use the time period between creating and releasing a production order, for example, to carry out company checks and preparations. If you do not require this time period, you can automatically release the production order when it is created (see Automatic Release).
A newly created production order initially receives the status CRTD (created). The following restrictions apply to a production order that has been created:
Confirmations for the order cannot yet be executed.
Shop floor papers cannot be printed.
Goods movements for the order cannot yet be executed.
Releasing the order lifts these restrictions.
Features
Order release can be executed at the following levels:
With Release at Order Header Level all operations are released. The order and the operations receive the status REL (released).
With Release of an Operation the operation receives the status REL and the order receives the status PREL (partially released). If all operations in an order have been released, the order has the status REL.
Hope this helps.
Revert if you need more information.

Goods Receipt DTW - Possible to update existing batch details?

Hello experts,
Using the three templates OIGE, IGE1, and BTNT I've managed to perform some Inventory Adjustments BY BATCH using DTW.
The issue I am having is that some of the fields in BTNT are not updating in SAP despite a successful DTW instance depending on whether the batchnumber is pre-existing or is new.
If the batch already exists, quantities are being receiving as expected but additional data such as "Notes", "InternalSerialNumber", and even some user-defined fields we have created for Appearance, Inventory Tag Number, etc. will not update. I have checked DTW mapping and it is setup correctly.
In fact, if the batch number defined in BTNT is NEW to the system these additional details load up as expected, only when it is a quantity update on the batch number do they not. I thought that since the quantity of a pre-existing batch is being update successfully via this method the other "Batch Details" should update as well.
Can anyone provide insight as to whether it is possible (and if so how) to update these batch details during a Goods Receipt or Goods Issue DTW for pre-existing batches or will it only do it for a brand new batch #?
Thanks very much,
Richard

Hi Richard,
Welcome you post on the forum.
I am afraid you could only update batch details when you imported them as new. You may only update the existing batch details through UI.
Thanks,
Gordon

Dear Experts,
I wanted to know with the following BAPI is it possible to create Multiple production orders for different semifinshed Materials along with material availability check and other functions similar to CO01 transaction.
I knew there are standard transactions for mass confirmation for production orders. But i need a confirmation on this BAPI . As i am planning to go-ahed with ,mass creation of production order creation / Order confirmation in single custom transaction.Need back flush activity even supported.
BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE to create the orders.
BAPI_PRODORD_RELEASE to release the orders.
BAPI_PRODORDCONF_GET_TT_PROP to get the default data for the confirmation.
BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CREATE_TT to ost the confirmation of production order.
Along with this BAPI do i need to commit any other BAPI to carry out back flush for components.
Need your suggestions to take it further.
Regards,
Daya.
