Dear Madhu,
for this you have to use EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001 or EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002. Please see documentation of this exits in SMOD or SE37 for details.

Client level, plant level and material level batch

Hi,
Can any body tell me wat is the actual meaning of
!) Client level batch,
2) plant level batch,
3) material level batch
with exa. please.
Thanks
Nilesh Ithape

Hi,
Below is the extract from the IMG Documentstion..
====================================================================
Batch numbers can be unique at the following levels:
at plant level
at material level
at client level for a material
If you choose plant level, the batch number is unique in conjunction with the respective material and the plant. If you choose material level, the batch number is unique together with the material. At client level, the batch number is unique in the whole client.
To change the batch level, you have to start a conversion program. This program first checks whether conversion is possible and outputs an error log containing all batch numbers that occur more than once at the new level. Now you need to manually transfer these batch records to batch numbers within Inventory Management using a transfer posting 'material to material'.
If you change the level from plant level to a higher level, it is possible that batches with the same batch numbers in different plants are actually identical. In this case, all you have to do is remove stocks (including previous period stocks) so that all batches with the same batch numbers, except one, can be reorganized.
When you convert from plant level to material level, the material is then to be handled in batches in all plants in which it is defined.
=========================================================
Hope this helps..

Unable to post return delivery whne the input material is batch managed

Hi,
While clearing the Subcontract GRN where the input material is batch managed, unable to put return delviery and the system throws error and unable to complete quantity posting.
Please guide me.
Regards,
RR Gopalan

This is caused due to some technical restrictions in QM.
When the reverse movement is being posted through QM process, the goods movement is being created in the background and it is being posted without reference to a existing material document. That is the system behaves as if you create a return delivery via MB01. In this case, the system cannot determine the batch number. As the reverse is created in the background and the components are determined internally and the batch cannot be passed over from the QM transaction. To prevent postings and avoid unnecessary inconsistencies in stocks,system will issue the error message.
Workaround:
The message M7389 is configurable. Hence please check in transcation OMCQ and set this as warning message. This would allow you to post the return delivery, But the problem is the batch nubmer would be wrong. So, You can define the corret batch number in the user-ext MBCFC010, it's MM related, You'd better to work with your MM colleagues.

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.
CL02-Create Class
CL24N:Assign class to material

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

Batch management check once enabled, doesnot need to be enabled again in other view, its automatically enabled as they are all linked together and yes you can disable it for one plant.
In OMSR, look up for field MARC-XCHPF which is for batch management and change the field reference to display and save

How to Setup Batch Management Level (Material vs Client)

Hi Experts,
I had a question about the level at which I should be setting up Batch Management. The requirements that we have are:
- We want uniqueness in the batch being created.
- We have split valuation active at the Batch Level.
Hence, we have nailed down to the following 2 options: 1. Client level or 2. Material level. (I know that I will not be using Plant level because we do a lot of STO's and we do not want to lose the characteristics in the Batch at the plant level. So the plant level is out of scope.)
Client Level: Although the client level gives us the uniqueness and supports most of our requirements, my fear with going at the client level is that it is too rigid and MAY cause problems in the future. Is that true? What would be issues/ concerns that you have faced when you have had Batch Management activated at the client level.
Material Level: If I setup the system at this level, I would like to be able to create a Batch number for a material across the entire client only once. E.g. MAT1 can have BATCH 123 only once across the whole client. MAT 2 can have BATCH 123 but the Material# and the Batch # uniqueness should be maintained thoroughly.
I would like to try out this level but my problem is I am unable to understand and setup this level completely. I have gone through some pretty good discussion on this topic but still am unable to understand it thoroughly. The link to this discussion is (http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=80407). If you refer to this link, it says u2013 Client/ Material Level. What does client/material level mean? Can you please help me understand it. Also, if I setup Batch management at this level, I would like the system to auto-generate numbers for me exactly as I have mentioned above. Is there a way to do so? I was trying to setup the BATCH_MAT number range object with the batch level at Material level but the system seems to always default to the BATCH_CLT level and give us numbers. Is there a way to fix the system to check the BATCH_MAT number range object and give the batch numbering per my requirements. What happens if I use the Material Level Batch management with BATCH_CLT number range object?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Check following customizing:
Logistics General --> Batch Management --> Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management
If you want to change the batch level, you have to start conversion to activate the change.
Note that you cannot reset conversion from plant level to a higher level, read the documentation for customizing of
"Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management".
If you want to work with same batches for different materials, you should use "Batch unique at material level".
Logistics General --> Batch Management --> Batch Number Assignment
Here you can define how the system should create batch numbers.

Batch level settings conversion from plant-to-plant to material-level

If someone has worked on conversion of Batch level settings within SAP from plant-to-plant to material-level batch management, please let me know what are the challenges involved in doing this. Thanks.

Check help !!!
To change the batch level, you have to start a conversion program. This program first checks whether conversion is possible and outputs an error log containing all batch numbers that occur more than once at the new level. Now you need to manually transfer these batch records to batch numbers within Inventory Management using a transfer posting 'material to material'.
If you change the level from plant level to a higher level, it is possible that batches with the same batch numbers in different plants are actually identical. In this case, all you have to do is remove stocks (including previous period stocks) so that all batches with the same batch numbers, except one, can be reorganized.
When you convert from plant level to material level, the material is then to be handled in batches in all plants in which it is defined.
Standard settings
In the standard delivery batches are uniquely defined at material level.
Activities
To change the batch level, proceed as follows:
1. Choose the level at which you want your batches to be unique.
2. Save the new settings and choose Back.
3. Choose Batch level -> Conversion.
4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.
Further notes
Note that you cannot reset conversion from plant level to a higher level in the standard.
If you create a client by copying an existing client, initially, there are no settings in the target client at batch level. The system makes the settings in the target client only when you have carried out an activity (maintaining master data or posting a goods movement, for example). The client level is not transported. If you copy a client with client level, you have to manually set the client level in the target system.

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-Change of batch level

Hi Friends,
I would like to convert the Batch level using T-Code "OMCE" from "batch unique at the material level" to "batch unique at the plant level." When I attempt to change the configuration, I receive a message that "This type of conversion is not yet implemented"
Could any one tell me to change batch level from material level to plant level.
Your help is very much appreciated.

Hi,
First check is there any stock available for any material with batch managed if it is there then stock out means make stock zero for current & previous period then try to run the conversion program as per procedure given by SAP.
If you choose plant level, the batch number is unique in conjunction with the respective material and the plant. If you choose material level, the batch number is unique together with the material. At client level, the batch number is unique in the whole client.
To change the batch level, you have to start a conversion program. This program first checks whether conversion is possible and outputs an error log containing all batch numbers that occur more than once at the new level. Now you need to manually transfer these batch records to batch numbers within Inventory Management using a transfer posting 'material to material'.
If you change the level from plant level to a higher level, it is possible that batches with the same batch numbers in different plants are actually identical. In this case, all you have to do is remove stocks (including previous period stocks) so that all batches with the same batch numbers, except one, can be reorganized.
When you convert from plant level to material level, the material is then to be handled in batches in all plants in which it is defined.
To change the batch level, proceed as follows:
1. Choose the level at which you want your batches to be unique.
2. Save the new settings and choose Back.
3. Choose Batch level -> Conversion.
4. If necessary, carry out the conversion in test mode first.

How to remove Batch Management Check in the Material

I have one requirement to remove batch management check in the materials which should not be deleted.
I created a testing material with batch management check on and put in material through 561, then did good issue for
scrapping to remove the stock out. So existing stock is zero in Material Master.
Then deleted the batch in MSC2N by putting all the delete checks on. There was just one batch created for the material.
Then ran transaction MM74 to archive, the spool request is as below:
MCHB: 000000000010000498 2002 1002 D000000200 entry archived                             1 000000000010000498
Archiving Session Number                                  000004
Number of Written Data Objects                                1
Size of Archiving Session in MB                           0,011
Proportion of Header Data in %                             96,7
Then in MMPV changed the closing period to may as all the postings were performed in april.
Now still when I go and remove the batch management check in MM02 Purchasing view, still gives we DISPLAY ERROR message:
The batch management requirement cannot
be changed for the follow
Batches already exist.
ANY IDEAS why its not allowing me to remove the check as I guess I have performed all the steps required.

Check whether the batch master is still exists in MSC3N .if it ia archived it should not be avialble in MSC3N
Refer note:30656
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
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 to change the base unit of measure or the batch management requirement indicator again.
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 (that is, 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. However, note that the postings are then carried out using the changed master data from the current period (for example, account determination and so on)
