Batch Management Indicator not getting set for material master

Hi,
In one of the material we need to mark the Batch Management Indicator in Material MAster. We had removed all the stocks from the material. But still we are getting error, Stock exists for the material in Plant XXX and Sloc YYY.
I checked in MARD table and MMBE that for this maaterial there are no stock for said Sloca and Plant.
One thing which I noticed in the Material Master and MARDH table that there exists some stock in Previous persiod for the said Sloc and Plant.
Need to know is this error is due to stock shown in previous period. Why system is checking the previous period stock.
How can we resolve our issue and check this Indicator.
Please let me know as earliest as possible.
Thanks

Hi,
Refer OSS Note 30656 - Change base unit of measure/batch mngt requirement
Following are the details of this note;
Symptom
When maintaining a material master record, you change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator or the valuation category. The system then tells you that this change is not possible since stocks still exist. However, no stocks are shown for the material in the stock overview.
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
Please 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 again to change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator.
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 (i.e. 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. Please note, however, that the postings are then carried out using the changed master data from the current period (e.g. account determination, etc.)

Material Batch Management

HI All:
when I creat batch for a material use "msc1n", it remind me of:
"If you want to create batches for this particular material, you must first set the indicator that specifies that the material is to be managed in batches in the material master record.
and where to set the indicator ?
and which configration is related?
Any help will be appreciated
Cynthia Yu

In material master(mm02) either in Workscheduling view or Purchasing View you have to Check the check box for Batch Management.
After then system will allow you the create the batch in msc1.

Batch management indicator not able to turned on for a material

Hi all,
We are trying to turn on the batch indicator at material master for which we had inventory in the past. But all the open PO lines, inbound deliveries, open transfer requirements (we have WM too) were deleted. Earlier we were getting under "DISPLAY ERRORs" stock is present in plant level along with open TRs. So, TRs were deleted using LB02 and open PO lines were marked for deletion. No stock is available in MD04, MMBE & LS24.
- I read that previous period posting maybe affecting it but how do I see that as one of the other thread didn't clarify how to determine previous period stock.
- Also, another issue might be due to archiving issue. I am planning to perform SARA for MM_SPSTOCK. Is that requried?
- Finally, we had another part for which we deleted TRs in the system but didn't remove PO LINES. But system allowed us to updated the BATCH INDICATOR at mm level? Is there an inconsistency??
Thanks.

We used the approach in testing in it worked.. but for some reason the transaction is not working in PRODUCTION. I am not able to perform 551 movement type in production system as I keep getting error "Number range is not maintained for the FI document type". But the document type which should be proposed is already maintained in NRIV table. This error doesn't come if instead of doing MIGO with 551 in previous period (date 09/25/09) we use current period then I get the document. We have technical team looking into this as we have lot of customization that determines the FI document type which I think is not working when we try for the previous period.
Any one seen similar issues? I am closing the thread as I think it is the code error and once that is fixed we should be able to perform scrapping in previous period.
If this doesn't work I will try the OSS note program RVBCONVMAT2BM.
Thanks all for inputs.

Batch management error while creating material

Hi All,
My client does not want to have qty updating and only value udating for his all materials. we are managing thro by removing qty updating tick for plants.
Now issue is while craeting material master for semi finished material and while activating batch management tick we are getting below error. While selecting display error icon message read as follows
" Batch management may not be defined for value-only materials."
Need all of your help to fix this
Thanks
A.Gururajan

Batches are used to manage stocks not only at material level, you do Batch managment because you require more details for the stock.
Value-only materials are just the oposite of this:
Represents a group of articles whose inventory is to be managed on a value basis, but not on an article basis.
So value-only articles with batch managment does not make any sense.

Same material master in two company codes with batch management

Hi,
There are two company codes in one client. In one batch management is already active. But in another company code batch management is not required. Is it possible to have batch management active in one company code and inactive in another company code where both the co. codes are in the same client? The same material master to be used in both company codes.
Thanks,
Satya.

Hi Satyabarata,
As far as you dont want to move the same materiel i.eStock Transfer with Inter comapy billing scenario then it will be fine.
If you try to Transfer a Batch manged material into a non batch manged CC it will work fine. But on the other hand when do via-versa the system will ask for the Batch information where the Batch management is active.
If you want to use same Material Master for both CC then its not advisable.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thx.

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.

Batch Management cannot be activated

Hi,
Its just not another Batch management activation issue. I read through the earlier posts without much help.
I'm creating a 'New' material and after entering all information in MM01. When I tick 'Batch Management Indicator' in either purchasing or plant/storage view, I get display error which reads 'Batch management may not be defined for value only materials'.
The material type used is spare parts and in OMS2 it uses both Quantity/Value updating. Valuation category is blank in accounting view. The material type is not semi-finished or finished goods. I have checked all the batch management config in Logistics general-->batch management and it appears fine.
What can be the possible reasons for the error?
Regards,
M B

Hi MB,
Its a simple Logic that if the material stocks aren't quantity updated how can you have stocks for the materials? No stocks No batch. If you have configured wrongly for value only then change the same in OMS2.

Converting from non-batch to batch management

Hi guys,
Can you tell what is the best strategy to convert a system from non-batch managed to batch managed? Batch management should have been implemented from the start, but my client just realized that mistake. This is knowing that we already have inventory and all kinds of transactional data: purchase orders, sales order, production orders...
I am looking for the less painfull strategy, as detailed as possible.
Thank you.
Fotso

HI,
Hi,
Procedure to be followed to activate Batch Management for Materials: -
1. Mark Deletion Flag for all the Open Purchasing Documents of Materials
2. Technical Completion of Production Orders to cancel open Reservations of Materials
3. Create a Dummy Material for Material (Batch Management Active)
4. Generate details of Unrestricted Stock of Materials as per Bill of Entry
5. Transfer Stock of Materials to Dummy Material using Movement Type "309" in previous period (Stock will be transferred Bill of Entry wise)
6. Activate batch Management for Materials
7. Transfer Stock from Dummy Material to Materials
Note: -
1) If there is stock available in previous period and also stock available in current period then Transfer Posting from Material to Material can be done directly in previous period. (Comparison of Tables MARD and MARDH)
2) In case if there is stock in previous period but no stock available in current period then we have to post an initial stock entry using movement type "561" to generate stock in current period (Here Quantity = Stock in Previous period)
3) Reverse these Material Documents in previous period
There are several SAP notes that give some useful information:
30656 Change base unit of measure/batch mngt requirement
533383 Resetting batch management requirement
533377 Conversion of batch level
I hope this helps!
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran

Reg batch management

Dear all,
During uploading of material master templtes for one packing material batch management tick was not activated and stock was taken in without batch management, is there any procedure by which we can activate batch management now
Please advice
regards
venkat

Dear Venkat,
You must have loaded stocks with 561 movement ( initial entry of stock), best way is to reverse this entry (do 562) and then activate batch management.

Batch management/Variant Con

Hi Can u send me through my company id please send Batch Mnagement/ Variant Configuration documents to my id is [email protected]

udhay

dear kumar
Please find the Notes on Batch Management Below:
SAP allows a configuration setting for 3 different batch levels. This wills effective your possibilities. Option Number 2 is the default configuration for SAP out of the box:
1.) Plant - can allow for the Batch Management Flag on a material sold out of 2 different plants to be set independently. Batch numbers can be used for multiple materials, and batch specifications and analytical results can be different for each batch (multiple batch Master records).
2.) Material - Batch Management flag is set the same for the material across all plants that use it. Batch numbers can be used for multiple materials, however, batch specification and analytical results are the same for the batch (one Batch Master Record).
3.) Client - Batch Management flag is set the same for material across all plants that use it. Batch number can only be used for one material across the client. (One Batch Master Record).
If the Batch level flag is set at the Client level, it allows for a batch number to be used with only one material throughout the entire SAP client. This is troublesome with products which are produced in bulk and then packaged into smaller size containers for sale. Due to the limitation of having only one batch number per material, when the product is packaged, new batch numbers have to be assigned to the finished packages, even though the same bulk material is being used inside the package. Because of this work-a rounds have been created and business processes adjusted to accommodate this restriction.
There is a process in SAP that will allow for the conversion of the Batch Level in SAP from Client level to Material level. Please investigate SAP notes 41715, 891902, 893053, 900359 among others, and it appears that there is a conversion program in SAP that will do this in configuration.
In addition to above Please find some more stuff,
A batch in the Materials Management system is defined as a subset or partial quantity of a material that is managed separately from other subsets of the same material. Each batch is identified not only by its material identification but also by a separate batch number. Typical examples of batches include different production lots (such as paints, dyes, wallpapers, and pharmaceutical products), delivery lots, or quality grades of a material.
In Sales and Distribution (SD), it is possible to determine batches that match customer specifications. Batch determination can be triggered at two points in the process, either when the sales order is entered, or when the delivery is created.
If you enter a batch number directly into the sales document, the system checks whether its availability and expiration dates are valid. When you copy a pre-sales document to a sales order, any existing batch numbers are also automatically copied but cannot be changed in the sales order. If you create a sales order with materials to be managed in batches that does not have a preceding document, you can change the batch numbers until subsequent documents, such as the delivery, have also been created. If, when creating a delivery, the system discovers that the copied batch is not valid, a warning is issued by the system. In this case, the batch specification must be changed in the sales document source.
Maintaining Master Data for Batches
If a material is managed in batches, you indicate this fact in the material master record in either the Purchasing or Plant data/storage 1 views. You can also create and maintain master data for individual batches, specifying such information as the expiration date, valuation type, and the country of origin. If you are planning to use batch split at delivery time, you must also maintain the relevant customer master records for those customers who permit batches to be split.
Entering Batch Number in Sales Document
Before you can enter a batch number in a sales document, a delivering plant must be entered for the item. If no delivering plant is entered, the Batch field remains inactive.
You can find the Batch field on the Item overview tab page in the table with the items.
If you do not know the batch number, you can display all the available batches in the delivering plant for your material, by using the input help.
An availability check is carried out for the batch, which you have entered, and the quantity available is confirmed.
If no batch number is proposed in the sales order for an item with material to be handled in batches, automatic batch determination can be carried out in the delivery.
There are four points at which you should use batch determination in Sales & Distribution. These are:
Quotations
Quantity contracts
Sales orders (or scheduling agreement)
Delivery
We use batches in SD where the materials are produced under one batch and they are given the shell life expiry date for each batch,
A1) Normally we use batch determination at delivery level, because at the time of order material may or may not be created. For this material should be configured with batch and batch determination should be checked in sales views of material.
A2) Batch Determination during order Creation.
For this you need to maintain Classes d for you Material. Depending on the Manufacturing process you can define the characteristics for your material.
Ex: Purity for Medicines, Resistance for Electric Items.
You need to create a class (You might have to create a new class type) which incorporates the characteristic.
First Create the Characteristic Using CT04 and then using CL02 create the Class including this characteristic.
Then in your material master Classification View Enter this class.
Then Create a Batch for the particular plant and Storage Location using MSC1N.Give the value of the characteristics in this batch.
Then go to SPRO ->Logistics General ->Batch Management and maintain the Condition Technique (Procedure, Strategy Types and assignment to sales docs etc).
Then Create the Batch Determination Record using VCH1.

BATCH MANAGEMENT - DOCUMENTATION

Hello,
We are planning to implement BATCH MANAGEMENT to identify the material / stock belongs to which period and manufactured location.
Please send the brief note on BATCH MANAGEMENT.
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi
SAP allows a configuration setting for 3 different batch levels. This will effective your possibilities. Option Number 2 is the default configuration for SAP out of the box :
1.) Plant - can allow for the Batch Management Flag on a material sold out of 2 different plants to be set independently. Batch numbers can be used for multiple materials, and batch specifications and analytical results can be different for each batch (multiple batch Master records).
2.)Material - Batch Management flag is set the same for the material across all plants that use it. Batch numbers can be used for multiple materials, however, batch specification and analytical results are the same for the batch (one Batch Master Record).
3.) Client - Batch Management flag is set the same for material across all plants that use it. Batch number can only be used for one material across the client. (one Batch Master Record).
If the Batch level flag is set at the Client level, it allows for a batch number to be used with only one material throughout the entire SAP client. This is troublesome with products which are produced in bulk and then packaged into smaller size containers for sale. Due to the limitation of having only one batch number per material, when the product is packaged, new batch numbers have to be assigned to the finished packages, even though the same bulk material is being used inside the package. Because of this work-a rounds have been created and business processes adjusted to accommodate this restriction.
There is a process in SAP that will allow for the conversion of the Batch Level in SAP from Client level to Material level. Please investigate SAP notes 41715, 891902, 893053, 900359 among others, and it appears that there is a conversion program in SAP that will do this in configuration.

How can mass create batch classification for many material batches? ?

Hi Experts,
In our system , there are so many material batches which have not been classified，see by
BMBC Tcode.
That means these batches has no values in the batch class. I know we can create
classification for these batches with MSC2N Tcode.
But there are so many batches which have not been classified,more then 2000.
It is not possible to create classification for every batch with with MSC2N once a time.
So how can I create batch classification for so many batches once a time?
How can I mass create batch classification for so many batches??
Thanks for any reply!

Hi,
Please be aware that SAP does not support the use of batch
input in the classification system. SAP recommends you use BAPI's for
example in your case BAPI BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE and BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE
would be able to help. For more information, please have a look at the
note: 943559 - Point 2 and 13. Point 13 references the note 1083986.
I hope this helps!.
Best Regards,

Material master - batch management not consistence with mara-xchpf

Dear Experts:
We have a problem that the user created a new material and only created Basic Data/Accounting/Costing View, inside these views there is no "check field" about "Batch management" but in table both of MARA / MARC the field XCHPF has value 'X' (checked).
in our system, there are 2 material no. has the same situation.
My question is why and how the field "batch management" has been checked and how can we remove it if there is no stocks, no open Doc and no any other transaction??
Thanks a lot.
SAP ECC 6.0

Hi Jürgen L.
Thanks again.
The problem is that we can't change the field "batch management", the material no. we have DOES NOT have Batch No., NO stock, the only docments we have are one PR and one PO, and all of them has the status deleted.
And I had tried to created a new material no. in our QAS, what we did to this new material no. is:
1. Use MM01 to created "Basic data 1" view refer to a "batch management" Material no. - Only Basic data 1 view and click save, nothing else.
2. Use MM01 again to create "General Plant data/Storage 1" view, but the field "Batch Management" is checked and unchangeable, I think this is not reasonable, and I dont know is there any other way I can change "batch management".
thanks.
Last update :
The issue is resolved:
2. Use MM01 again to create "General Plant data/Storage 1" view ,( the field "Batch Management" is checked and unchangeable), save material no.
3. Use MM02 to change "Batch management", now the field "batch management" is changeable.
Thanks you all
