Removal of batch management indicator from material master
I had removed all batch stock from material code but when trying to remove batch management indicator from material master system is giving the message "batches already exist"
Please suggest the solution.
Hi,
The material is NEW and Batch Managed. No stocks, orders, batches are existing.
If the Batch Management indicator is removed in Material Master, is there any way *to see/track the batch/lot * of the product.
Scenarios: Material is NOT Batch Managed
1. How to track a batch received for Purchase order.
2. How to track a Batch created in a Production order.
3. How to track a Batch in Sales Order.
Thanks,
VB

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?
ThanksHi
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.

Changing Batch Management Level from Material to Plant
Hi all,
We are investigating changing our batch management level from material to plant to meet business requirements.
SAP has pointed us to a note with a program to reset the batch level, as well as highlighting some things to look out for.
I've conducted the change in a playpen system and so far it looks relatively straightforward, with complexities arising only when characteristics exist, or when a batch exists in multiple plants.
Seems that batch master data is moved from MCH1 to MCHA, including the object link number to classification. Unfortunately it seems a limitation of the conversion is that the batch master data is copied to ONE plant only in MCHA, no doubt due to the fact the object number link to classification must be unique.
My question is this: has anyone performed this change before, and if so can you offer me any advice on what to look out for, or potential problems that arose after the change?
Any help or comments are appreciated.
Mark.hi..
first of all try this simple one...
You will have to delete all the materials, remove stock and then switch the batch management flag.
Or
To convert the batch from plant level to material there is Conversion Program defind by the SAP...
1. For all releases lower than Release 4.5B, implement the corrections and the modification in the report RM07CHDX as described in the correction instructions.
2. Create the report ZCHTCUCH, which is specified in the attachment.
3. Run this report in the clients for which you want to reset batch level to plant level.
4. Call transaction OMCT.
5. Check whether the batch level for "Batch unique at plant level" is set.
6. Implement Notes 821891, 944278, 950540 and 1091613 if you have not already done so (or you have not imported the corresponding Support Package).
7. Execute the function "Batch Level -> Conversion".
8. Define a plant for a plant view that may be missing.
9. Always execute the report in the test mode first. Analyze the error log.
10. If no errors occur, you can execute the report in production mode.
11. If you are working with batch long texts, first execute the report ZM07CHDX_TEXT in test mode.
try this out..hope is works,,

Removal of batch management for a material in MM02
Hi all,
I Have a problem in removing the batch management in the purchasing view of a material.The error is 'Batch management requirement cannot be changed,Batch already exists'.
PO is created on this material.GR is done and that GR is reversed.There is no stock in the previous period.In MSC2N batch is deleted.I tried even after deleting the item in the PO.Again system is giving the same error.
Now how can i remove the batchmanagement for the material.
Thanks,
Rambhupal reddyyour batch is probably only flagged for deletion. You have to run archiving, Transaction SARA for object MM_SPSTOCK to get rit of the batch record.

Copy of Batch characteristics value from material master to Batch
Hi Gurus,
I have maintained some values in the characteristics under batch classification in material master and want to copy the values in batch characteristics during batch creation at process order release.
Can any one help me to achieve this in standard way?
Thanks
SandipHi,
Try to understand the batch classification functionality...In batch classification characteristic values changes from batch to batch...Values should not be maintained in the material master...it does not have any meaning...in the material master we need to assign only the batch class with class type 023 in classification view ...no need to assign the values there....Batch classification means characteristics values differs from batch to batch...
Thanks

Change Batch Management Flag in Material Master

Click on Select Fields Icon above New Values under General Material Data tab
Choose "Batch Management"
Check/Uncheck Flag for Batch Management & SaveHi there,
Besides the note 30656 , there are two important points to be take into your consideration:
1) If you want to change the batch management, it is not enough to check for stock. You must also reorganize all existing batches for the material. You can do this using the TA MM73 and MM74 or SARA. After you have reorganized the batches you should be able to change the batch management. The Object to use in the txn SARA is MM_SPSTOCK. You must first set the deletion flag for the batch using txn MCH2.
2) If you have defined the batch level in the TA OMCE to 'unique at material level', it is not possible to turn off the batch management flag in one plant. You can can only turn it off for all plants at the same time. That means if you want to turn it off, the system checks all plants for the existence of stock. In other words, the batch management flag will be the same for all plants at any time if you use the batch level 'unique at material level'.
Hope this helps!

Exclude batch managed inventory from MI31
How can we exclude those materials that have a batch attached to them from being included in the MI31 selection when it creates thePI document? We have deactivated the batch management tick in the material master, however, there is still stock sitting in the batch so we want to exclude it from the count.
Hi,
Though you have removed the Batch management indicator in Material master, the created batche won't go anywhere. Stock will be present and will reflect in PI. If you set the batch management indicator in material master and once batch creared and transaction executed, you cannot deactivate the batch management. I hope it gives you clarity. Thanking you.

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
SGHi,
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.)

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 AMhi..
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.

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.
Reward if found useful.

How to remove Batch Management in the Material
Hi All,
The Batch Management indicator for a Material was accidentally activated, thus upon goods movement the system required user to enter a Batch Number. The user, not knowing the implications, entered a Batch Number.
Now we want to remove the Batch Management indicator, I already asked the user to reverse the goods movement posted and have the Batch Number flagged for deletion at both Plant and Storage Location Level via MSC2N.
MM02 still won't allow the removal of the tick mark in the indicator.
There are options I have looked at:
1) Create a new Material Code in place of the old one.
2) Archive the Batch Number then try to remove the tick mark via MM02 - will this even work out?
But the priority is still to retain the same Material Code. Is there any other way/option?
Thanks a lot!!! =)It is a little painful but here are the basic steps.
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 helps -
