Hi,
Changing from tick to untick or untick to tick of Batch Management indicator follow the procedure (Changing of status in Material Master Record)
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

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.

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,

your 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.

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.

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)

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

SAP provided two reports which can update or remove BATCH MANAGEMENT INDICATOR and BATCHES without removing the material stocks and documents. We need to close only open physical inventory documents.
The below reports update, all relevant documents based on batch activation/de-activation:
u2022 RVBCONVMAT2BM - Sets the batch management requirement indicator.
u2022 RVBREVMATBM - Removes the batch management requirement indicator
But,these programns will not be available in standard SAP,they has to procured form SAP.

Batch Management Flag on a Delivery Item

Hey!
I have an item in a delivery that has the "Batch Management Flag" marked on iten level (material tab and picking tab from delivery). That item doesn´t have a batch associed, then the incompletness log shows the message: "Batches / valuation types not completely allocated"
I want to make a goods issue directly from the Storage location , without a batch, but the sistem doesn´t allows, even removing the "Batch Management flag" from LIPS-XCHPF.
How can i make to clear the incompletness log for this delivery or make that delivery complete after removing the flag from LIPS-XCHPF?
Thanx!

This Material doesn´t have a Batch associed to the Storage Location, because the Batch Management Flag in material master is not set. This is the problem, i need to make the goods issue directly from the storage location, without a Batch.
I don´t know why this flag was set in delivery, it´s a closed field and it was set automatically.
I try to clear this field in table LIPS field XCHPF, but even so the system shows the message in incompletness log of the Delivery and doesn´t allows do the goods issue.

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.

Remove Batch Management and Split Valuation Dependencies

Hi,
I need to remove Batch Management Indicator and Split Valuation for a material. Which one should I do first? Are these dependent on one another?
Thanks,
Jograd

You are correct. It did cause lots of error when i tried to do it in test client.
I am trying to remove the valuation category of one right now. It has zero stock and no open documents.
I saw in note Note 155874 - Change valuation category in material master that you need to do this:
2. If you change from split to joint valuation, no valuation data must
exist for a valuation type.
I dont know where to start doing that? Because there is not data for the material. However i noticed that there is valuation for previous period. do i need to delete that too? But there are no stocks for the previous period.
Please help.
Thanks,
Jograd

Enable Batch Management w/o removing Stock

Hi!
We would like to start using the feature of batch number in SAP BO.
Right now all item are set to "Manage Item by None" on the General Tab under Item Master Data. We manage batches in a separate Excel spreadsheet. Not good, I know
Is there a way to enable Batch Management w/o removing the stock?
If not, what would be the best way to solve the problem?
Thanks for your help,
Christian

Yes that is how we are going to do it:
1. Run an Inventory Audit Report, export it to Excel and divide *** Value/ *** Qty
2. Create a Goods Issue for all Inventory with price calculated in 1.
3. Set "Manage by" in Item Management to "Batches"
4. Run Inventory Audit Report see how much was released at what cost in step 2
5. Create a goods receipt in the same order (and same price)
as stock was released in step 2
Unfortunately I don't see a way to do this other than manually!?

Wants to activate batch management for a material which already had a Stock

hi,
i want to activate batch management for a material which already has a stock and open Purchasing documents.
is there any way by which we can do it without removing the same.
please help.

program name is RVBCONVMAT2BM
but i am doubtfull it will be delivered with standard SAP, you need to request you from SAP as they charge for this.
this program convert the material to batch and all relevant dependant documents will be updated with batch no.
Regards,
Pravin Mukkawar
pasting some description of the program
REPORT rvbconvmat2bm.
Report illustrates the call of function module VBZ0401_CONVERT_OBJECTS
which sets the batch management flag for one material including
depending objects. Function module VBZ0401_FILL_BUFFERS helps
improving the performance.
then logic......

Batch management with transactions

Dear Gurus,
My user has a material which has last transaction in May-2014 and wants to activate the batch management.
I know the total stock and total value have to be removed by any means before activating the BM.
My question is: Whether my work-around will have any bad consequence that you can think of?
My work-around:
As said, last trx is in May-2014. After that all stock/value are cleared.
1. mmpv, change period to July-2014 (with some trick on escaping date check)
2. activate the batch management
3. mmrv - check "allow post to previous period (June-2014)
So that user can continue to post in June (no need to wait a full month)

1. Yes. Its the most sensitive work for a MM consultant. The main caution is that, if you open a posting period, its not a easy job to re-open the previous period (You may have to contact SAP for that).
2. Right. the period is not stored anywhere in table. Only posting date is stored in various table.
3. See, SAP allows only 2 months for posting a Material document number.
Normally When you open a period from MMPV, then the current period will open.
Now if you missed some to post a document in previous month, then SAP has given the option, that you can only post on previous month.
Now as per your requirement.
If you open the period July, then you can only post any document in July and previous month as June.
You will never can't able to post any document in month May.
As it is not 6th June, in meantime, if your organization want to post a document in May, then what can you do?
You can do nothing because you can reopen the month May. Forcefully you have top post the document in June month.
To avoid this, I have said take a proper document to open posting period in advance. It will be much better for you.

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.
