Problem with batch management indicator

Hi Gurus,
I have an issue with batch management.
There is one material which was not batch managed. The requirement was to make it batch managed. There were no open purchase orders and the only thing pending was the stock in the present and previous periods. The stock quantity in the previous period and the present period matched(470 Kg). I opened the previous posting period, used movement type 551 and scrapped the stock. There was zero stock for the current period and the present period.
I changed the batch management indicator successfully. Now the issue is whil i am trying to cancel the material document
1. Now that the material is batch managed, whie trying to cancel the material document using MIGO, the system prompts for a batch to be entered. But the batch field is greyed out and i am not able to enter a batch
2. I have tried to cancel the material document using MBST and MIGO. The sytem prompts for a batch to be entered but not allowing me to do so as the batch field is greyed out.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Sajin

Hi Sajin,
What is a reason to cancel a material document? When was that material document created? Before or after flagging the indicator in the material master?

Problems with existing stock and batch management indicator

Hi,
We would like to set the batch management indicator for a material.
However, there is stock on the material for the given plant.
The different stock categories for the plant/material combination are as follows (according to transaction MMBE):
Unrestricted use 150
Reserved (for production ordeers) 42
Open order qty (incoming PO) 100
"When I try to set the batch management indicator in MM02 I receive the following error message:
Material Master Maintenance
The batch management requirement cannot
be changed for the following reasons:
Stocks already exist at plant level.
Plant SLoc
   PL01 SL01
   PL01 SL02"
Can someone please guide me in how to remove the stock and the reservations, so that we can set the batch management indicator? Does the reservations of stock have any impact (there are reservations for 5 different production orders for this material)?
Thanks in advance,
Lars

in plant A, you have to add 21 in current period (e.g. with 202 movement), then you issue 171 in previous period. with 201. Result: both periods are zero.
plant B, just issue 17 in previous period with 201.
for Plant A   171 with movement 202 back into stock with previous period date, and subsequently 21 goods issue using 201 in current period.
for plant B: 17 with movement 202 and previous period date.

Cost(vprs) of free goods with batch managment

Dear Gurus,
I have a problem ahout free goods with batch management.
Cost(VPRS) is not accumulated in billing(free goods is not relevant for billing).
My configurations are shown as below:
Ordered goods (and batch) item category :zta1(copied from tan)
Free goods (and batch) item category :zann (copied from tann) pricing:B ;not relevant for billing;dermination cost:X
copy control(from delivery to billing):
ztan: accumulation cost :X
If I use the material without batch management,Cost of free goods(without batch) is accumulated to main item(ordered goods).
So, what can I do?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Lykin Kan

Hi,
These notes are useful:
SAP Note 1365939 - VPRS logic and Customizing settings in SD
SAP Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing
If you have the problem in the transfer from SD conditions to CO-PA, check if you transfer only invoices to COPA, if you don't invoice the deliveries of free goods, then you don't transfer this 'sales' or costs of 'gifts' to COPA. You can check the customizing of COPA in tcode ORKE (IMG for COPA). SAP Note 74486 - INFO: Overview of consulting notes for CO-PA is a good summary about this issue.
I hope this helps you

Eduardo

Split valuation with batch management and project stock

Dear Gurus,
I need to combine two following requirements:
1. split valuation with batch management (valuation type = batch number)
2. project stock
These two functionalities work fine separately but not together.
I receipt PO for material with spiit valuation on a batch level into a project stock. Posting is OK and material document (MSEG table) seems to be OK (batch number, valuation type and project stock are in this table). The problem appears when I want to display material in this valuation type (MM03) or batch (MSC3n). They don't exist!!! Short investigation showed that during goods receipt table MBEW (valuated stock) was not updated with this valuation type.
But If PO is receipt into normal stock first and then posted into project stock everything is OK.
Have you had or heart about such issue? I would appreciate any sugestion.
Thsnks in advance.
Marcin Bernat

Hi,
As you already know ,u are using project stock and doing goods receipt against project, stock table QBEW will be updated and not MBEW. MBEW only updates in case of plant stock valuation. If u receive any goods against project stock it does not contribute to plant stock. Irrespective whether your material is managed in split valuation or not, If it is received against project stock it only updates QBEW. There is no need to update MBEW, if u r using split valuation in project. QBEW also have valuation type as another level like MBEW. If u want to see material price for project stock, it can be seen in QBEW -valuation type and not in mm03.
As u r receiving goods against project stock this is d only reason QBEW is updated and not MBEW.
QBEW will store all information like MBEW for batch number, valuation type and project stock assignment.
Hope it answers your question.

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.

MTS with batch management, serialization and Handling unit

Hello All,
I am testing a scenario for MTS with batch management, serialization and Handling unit for discrete manufacturing.
Everything worked fine till I created the Handling unit for the finished product.
The production order has a quantity of 3 EA.
It has three serial numbers 1, 2 and 3. (serial numbers can be displayed from order->Header->serial numbers)
I created one Handling unit for production order quantity of 3 EA.
I tried to do a goods receipt for the production order using transaction COWBHUWE.
I get the following error when I try to post the GR:
Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 3
Message no. IO304
Diagnosis
There is a serial number obligation, so the number of serial numbers must equal the number of serial numbers in the material document.
You can post the operation only if you entered the correct number of serial numbers previously.
System Response
Depending on the context in which the error arises, the system continues processing, or the required function cannot be performed.
Procedure
You have the following options, for example:
Check that the serial numbers are entered fully.
If necessary, display an error log.
If necessary, contact your system administrator.
What did I miss?
How to fix this problem?
Please help.
Thanks in advance
George

I added the serialization procedure HUSL to the serial number profile and it fixed the problem.

Spilt valuation with batch management?

Gurus,
I want to activate split valuation with batch management..
i know the configuration of doing split valuation..
but, i need help on batch management configuration...

hi,
Why do you want both at the same time??
Either split val. or batch management independently can solve your issues...
Please let me know the reason...
For split valuation :
To select split valuation ('OMWC'), proceed as follows:
1. Determine the valuation categories and valuation types that are allowed for all valuation areas:
global valuation categories via menu "Goto --> Global Categories"
global valuation types via menu "Goto --> Global Types"
2. Allocate the valuation types to the valuation categories.
a) Select "Goto --> Global Categories".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation category and select
"Goto --> Global Categories --> Assignments --> 'Types->Category'".
c) Activate the valuation types you want.
3. Determine the local valuation categories for each valuation area.
a) Select "Goto --> Local definitions".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation area and select
"Goto --> Local Definitions --> Allocate Categoires->Org.units (button Cats->(OU)".
You obtain a list of the global valuation categories.
c) Activate the categories to be used in this valuation area.
The system creates the local valuation types based on the allocations under point 2.
Only now can you create a master record with split valuation.
Specifying Split Valuation by creating Material Subject to Split Valuation
1. Create a material master record, selecting the Accounting View 1.
2. Enter your data as required on the Accounting data screen, specifying a valuation category.
(If you can't find the valuation category field, it might be hidden, use OMSR to define the Field Groups.
Look for the field MBEW-BWTTY for Valuation category).
3. Be sure that the price control indicator is V for moving average price and enter a moving average price.
4. In the case of split valuation, you can create only one valuation header record with price control V because the
individual stock values are cumulated, and this total value is written to the valuation header record. This is where the
individual stocks of a material are managed cumulatively. To do this, fill in the Valuation category field on the accounting
screen when you create the material master record and leave the Valuation type field blank.
5. Save your data and the system creates the valuation header record.
6. The initial screen appears.
7. Extend the material by creating new material master records from the Accounting view 1. For the first material, specify a
valuation type in the Organizational Levels dialog box and enter the respective accounting data on the data screen.
Proceed likewise for the other materials, distinguishing between them by valuation type. To do this, call up the material in
creation mode again. Due to the fact that a valuation header record exists, the system requires you to enter a valuation
type for the valuation category.
8. Repeat step seven for every valuation type planned.
You want to valuate the stock of material XYZ that you obtain from manufacturer A in Los Angeles at a different price than the stock you obtain from manufacturer B in Detroit. In this case, the valuation category is H for origin. Your valuation types can be LOS ANGELES and DETROIT.
If a material is subject to split valuation, every quantity (sub-stock) of this material must be assigned to a valuation type (for example, country of origin).
For every valuation type, there are two types of data in the system, as follows:
Valuation data (for example, valuation price, total stock quantity, total stock value), which is defined for every valuation type at valuation-area level and applies to all dependent storage locations.
Stock data, which, like batch data, is managed separately for each storage location. If a material that is subject to split valuation is also subject to management in batches, its stock data is not managed by valuation type, but rather by batch. Every batch is assigned to a valuation type.
The stock quantity, stock value, and valuation price for all valuation types are managed cumulatively at valuation-area level

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
SG

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.)

Hi,
Changing the status of the material from Uncheck to checked or viseversa is possible only if the following conditions are met
1 Check the Status of material MMBE
2 There should not be any open Purchase Order Use SE16 & Table EKPO Give the material number for which we have to find the Open Pos; Alternateively ME2M can also be used
3 There should not be any Open Production Order Use SE16 & Table AFPO Give the material number for which we have to find the Open Production Orders
4 There sould not be any Sales Order Use SE16 & Table VBAP Give the material Number for which we have to find the Open Sales Orders
5 There should not be any Purchase Requistion Use SE16 & Table EBAN Give the material Number for which we have to find the Open PRs
6 There should not be any Stock in Transit MB5T
7 There should not be any Plant availability Stock MB53
8 There should not be any Reservation MB25
9 Previuos Period Stock should be zero Use MM03 with Plant Stock & Storage Loc. View If Stock Exists follow the Procedure mentioned in next chapter to close
10 Stock requirement should be zero MD04
11 There should not be any open Delivery Use SE16 & Table LIPS Give the material Number for which we have to find the Open PRs
12 There should not be any open Warehouse Transfer Request Use SE16 & Table LTBP Give the material Number for which we have to find the Open PRs
13 There should not be any open Warehouse Transfer Request Use SE16 & Table LTAP Give the material Number for which we have to find the Open PRs
14 The Batch Corresponding to the plant has to be set for deletion indicator MSC2N
If previous period stocks exist, we 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).
If any of the above Stock Exists it has to be closed;If Any of the stock exists we cannot uncheck.
After closing all the open items;the related business documents viz Purchase Orders,Production Orders,Delivery,etc has to be Archived
Archiving has certain criteria while doing Archiving Process-- Systematic Archival is the Key factor i.e relationship diagram has be met.
SAP Note Number 533383 - Resetting batch management requirement
This is similar to changing of Unit of measurement.
Hence such criteria ought to be met.

BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE, will do the goods receipt ( MB01 )for the subcontracting PO with batch management.

Dear Professionals ,
I Just want to confirm that whether BAPI "BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE " will do the goods receipt ( MB01 ) for the subcontracting PO with batch management.
Since I will be passing only 101 mvy type in BAPi, will the system automatically call 543 mvt type with batch management and post the consumption.
can I change the batch of the component items ?

Hi ,
Delivery note is like a ref document number
so you can use the
In the BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE There is header structure BAPI2017_GM_HEAD_01 which has a field REF_DOC_NO
you can pass the delivery note value to that field .

SLED with Batch Management

HI Gurus,
We are using batch management for the material. At the time of goods receipt i am getting error
Shortfall of 100 days against remaining shelf life in current item (365 Day)
I have read some document and found that SLED calculate from the goods receipt document date with batch management. And i found the days difference error as follow.
For SLED of a batch calculates as follows:
SLED = total shelf life + production date from the goods receipt document.
Total shelf life is 365 day according to material master. 21.11.2012 Minas 365 remaing shelf life =13.11.2011
From November 2011 to todayu2019s date 21.02.2012. =100 days.
My question is : If system calculate SLED from the goods receipt (current date) for batch management. Then what is the use of enter manufacturing date in Goods Receipt.
And do i need to change manufacturing date to current date every time. even if material not manufactured in today's date (for example manuf in last month)
Please can any one help me to understand the scenario.
Thanks in Advance.
Ashish Panchal

Assume there is a joghurt.
it is produced on February 1 and has 30 days shelf life in material master, so he shelf life expiration date is March 2nd.
if you have a minimum remaining shelf life entered in your material master e.g. 5 days.
then system actls like this
If you receive this joghurt today (February 21) then you can receive without any error.
but if you want receive this joghurt on February 28, then you get the message "Shortfall of 3 days against remaining shelf life ..."
because your receipt date is withing the minimum remaining shelf life period.
this minimum remaining shelf life shall give you time enough to consume that material. otherwise it is expired before you start using it.
hence a minimum remaining shelf life must be much shorter than the total shelf life. an equal number makes it almost impossible to receive any good.

Batch Managment Indicator

Hello,
I want to remove batch managment indicator in material master record.
I got info that there is an archiving process to be done using t code MSC2N and SARA and after that indicator can be removed.
But before that pre requisites is there should not be any open document. Stock report MMBE shows that no stock present but still not able to un check the indicator as there are purchasing/Material documents present.
How can i find those documents...
Regards
Himanshu
Edited by: Himanshu Nijhawan on Jul 11, 2011 8:42 AM

hi..
try thisout..
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 works.
Thanks..

Production order release with batch management

Dear All
Our company are going to use batch managment. But someone told us the production order cannot be released if the component with batch managment is missing (requirment is lower than stock). Is that true?

Dear,
It depend upon the setting means if you want to automatic batch determination in production order for component then system will not allow to release if no batches are available.
This setting come from MRP 2 view batch entry if you keep it blank then system will allow you to release the order with missing batch quantity also.
Please try and come back if any issue.
