Replenishment of fixed bins for batch managed materials.

WM - Replenishment of Fixed Bins. Batch selection and full pallet selection
My issue is as follows: I am performing the replenishment of fixed bin based on SD deliveries. Stock is batch managed and batch selection is based on the shortest expiry date. If there is both a partial and full pallet of a particular batch of a material in the source warehouse, the full pallet will always be proposed in the TO, before the partial pallet. Is there a way of forcing the selection of a partial pallet before the full pallet?

Removal of material based on quantities could be driven by using picking strategy 'M'. This is closest option that I could think of that matches your requirement. If this does not meet your requirements then you may have use a custom picking strategy via exit MWMTO004.

Inventory Count for Batch Managed materials - Plant, S.Loc and Batch Wise

Hi.,
In the company's current scenario, the printing of batch managed materials are scheduled under 3 Job names.
1. First job determines the materials/batches that need to be created today using Program RM07ICN1
2. Second Job Processes the BDC Session created by Program RM07ICN1 using Program: RSBDCSUB
3. Third Job prints the Inventory tickts at the appropriate Storage location using Program: RM07IDRU
Each Job has its own variant.
The Variant for SL.No 1 is defined w.r.t
i. Material Type : Two Material types have been defined
ii. Under selection variable, GIDAT ( Planned count date and GBDAT are flagged.
Current Analysis:
A. The inventory documents get printed with Materials as per the cycle counting indicators defined which govern which material has to be currently counted.
B. Inventory documents are generated for all materials in all the plants and in all the storage locations
C. Batches for a material number may print on different cycle count documents throughout the year.
Customer requirement:
The inventory documents to print on basis of
1. Material, Plant and S.Loc.
This would help in identifying the batches which are currently being counted as well.
2. Customers requirement is to ensure that all batches are accounted for and will identify any overage of batches since in the current process, they are never reviewed as a whole.
QUESTION:
1. How to configure the Customer requriement.
2. How to configure the Variant/s, if thats the place the configuration has to be done to satisfy the customer.
3. How to activate the Variant in SE37 after definition in the Step Indicator. Does it activate on execution?
When i run the Program using SE38 , maintaining options in the Screen ( giving Material, Plant and S.loc), i get the desired list (Batches w.r.t Material,plant.S.Loc). But there is a list of over 150 Batch managed materials and it would not be physically possible to maintain the variant for each each Material,plant,S.loc wise.
Is there a way to configure the customer requirement/s.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Mahesh,
<b>Customer requrirement is specific, they want a list of Inventory Documents to be generated on basis of Material in each Plant-S.Loc batch wise.</b>
Then you need to define multiple varinat for the program.
<b>(a) If i am giving two variants in the same Program name RM07ICN1, how to execute one after after in sequence.
In testing, I have defined in the " Step", Progran RM07ICN1 with one variant and Program RM07ICN1 with another Variant. But on execution of Program RM07ICN1 thru SE38, the screen defined latter ( second variant screen data ) is displayed.</b>
You need to define several steps in SM36 transaction for the program using each variant. SE38 you can use only to save your variant data so later you can use this variant in SM36.
Once you schedule the job with SM36 and release it then it will automatically execute this job as per your criteria (timeline)
Hope this helps.

Physical Inventory & Cycle Couting for Batch Managed Materials

Hi Friends, pls help me on this scenario
Physical Inventory
For a Batch Managed Materials we have hundreds materials and thousands of batches (each batch is equally imp)
So the first step would be
Create the documents with MI31 Batch Input session
Post the count with MI34 Batch Input Session
See the difference in MI37
MIDO we get to c the physical inventory overview.
correct me if i am wrong
Cycle Count
This is a seasonal Business and ABC analysis based on requirements n Consumption doesn't work for this process. Is there any way that we can configure the system in SAP which has the ability to fulfill the following scenario.
They shud be able to select a % of materials from the storage for every month and that way they shud finish counting all of them at the end of their season. Not based on any criteria, just a part of materials ...
hope i am clear on the requirement..please suggest me something
thanks

No, it will not match, it will create its own document in background.
Why do you have one created if you dont want to do a selection ?
You cannot create a document for 1000 materials and then only count 30.
You either create a document for 30 and count 30 and enter it with MI04, or you dont create a document with SAP, count based on any other paperwork and enter the count as I said with MI09.

Changing SLED date on non Batch Managed Materials

Is it possible to change the SLED date on QUANTS for Materials that are not batch managed? This date is originally recorded in the Goods Receipt (MIGO).
The SLED is displayed in the LS24 Bins Stock per Material Report.
Where this is incorrect on Batch Managed Materials the SLED date can be changed on the Batch in MSC2N, however for non Batch Managed Materials it does seem possible to change it.

The SLED field only exists in the quant when shelf life management is active in Materials Management (MM). This happens when the material master is maintained accordingly.
During a stock placement in MM you can enter either the production date or the shelf life expiration date. This depends upon whether the field Remaining shelf life has been maintained in the material master record. For example, if 10 days have been entered into this field, the system assumes that when goods are received, the production date was entered and calculates the shelf life automatically. If you leave this field empty in the material master, the system makes it possible for you to directly enter the shelf life expiration date.
This date that is entered or calculated during the goods receipt is then noted in the quant that is created in the storage bin. If you add stock to an existing quant in a storage bin, the shelf life expiration date of the new quantity that is added is lost.

How to Handle Batch Managed materials in AII

Hi,
We are trying out various scenarios with AII one of then including how does AII handle Batch Managed materials. While creating a delivery we provide Batch information, but this is not going to AII, as AII is only interested in EPC codes, quantity and UOM.
We are able to successfully get tags into AII but the delivery IDOC fails to post in the ERP system cause it is expecting BATCH information.
Would appreciate any ideas on the same, we have tried posting the BATCH_ID in the PML document header as well as at the TAG level but have not been successful so far, Are we missing some steps?
- Aniruddha

Hi Aniruddha,
AII does not support the extension fields ( like BATCH_ID) directly from UI ie. mobile or Auto ID Cockpit
Incase you are testing through Auto Id Test Tool, you can assign these fields under tags data list in Tags tab.
The way of passing these fileds from auto id test tool is to select the EPC being passed and add the field BATCH_ID under tag data list. This will add the extension field to the XML being sent to XI.
As far as sending it through UI is concerned then development option has to be explored. For mobile UI, you can think of creating a user data profile and add such fields to the rule being processed. You can refer to way SAP has defined Z_CON_FIELDS element set in the config guides.
I hope this should help you in finding a solution to your problem.

Specific Identification Cost for batch managed items (Follow-Up from P2P)

Specific Identification Cost method is used for serial and batch managed item. Using this method, the outbound cost of such items would be the original cost of specific goods, which can be determined according to the serial or batch number of that item.
Business One allows the user to receive batch managed items with a batch number that already exists in the DB. Its possible that the received quantity is added to on-hand quantity in the warehouse. In such case, the quantity on-hand of that batch and the received quantity may have different costs.
What should be the system behavior in such case:
1. Block receipts to the same batch with different costs.
2. Write the difference to a price difference account, as done in Standard Cost method.
3. Manage the batch cost with Moving Average method.
This thread is continuation from 'Specific Identification Cost for batch managed Items' <a href="http://p2p.sap.com/businessoneforum?type=join&login=1&uid=41FB661A76CED536C825C4E2B6FF4397&cid=91&go=z37225">discussion</a> in P2P SAP Business One Forum (Product Development Collaboration).
Previous discussion on P2P is summarized in the attached file.

Hi Peter,
This is a very important functionality that you are describing here. For example, in the Steel industry, it could be extremely useful to cost by batch or serial number.
If you receive a batch that already exists in the system and if the costing method for the product is moving average, then teh cost of the batch should be calculated based on the moving average as well.
If the costing method is standard, then the cost should go in a variance account.
If the costing method is FIFO, then it is a getting trickier...

QM In-Process Inspection for Batch Managed Material

Hi,
I have a issue related to UD of In-Process inspection for batch managed material. The production process is discrete manufacting for a cold rolling mill. A production order can have mutiple coils as per the production amount. To track the individual coil , batch management has ben activated. We have both in-process as well as inspection after production here.
For inspection after production we are fine as we are doing partial confirmation after every coil and have separate inspection lot having different batch number.
But for in-process I can have only one inspection lot for the production order (created on release of the production order). I can do the result recording but while trying to do UD u2013 it is asking for a batch number as the material is batch managed. W/o entering the batch number system is not allowing me to do the UD.
Is there any solution/work around of this problem.
-Regards
ashim

Hi Ashim,
you raised a very good question? i am helpless here to execute same scenario,
but i disussed with my QM guy here, he said, once the material is batch managed then it has to ahve batch in UD.
so i discussed ur case, which is very much valid for heavy ind like cement and all,
so what i suggest, u create a dummy batch in the UD for in process (no inventory posting)
and at confimation give ur usual batch (if system propose the dummy batch which u give in the UD for inprocess, try to change there--- i hope it should allow)
i would really like to here answer from u for this.
try to do as suggested, and let me know the results.

ATP check for batch managed products

Hello All,
I have a requirement for ATP check for batch managed products and would be glad if someone can help me on that. One of the characteristics on my product is expiry date. Business wants to restricts confirming products which has an expiry date of less than 90 days for orders outside the country. How can we achieve that?

Hello
You can try with activating Shelf Life Expiration Date (SLED).
For config, check SPRO - Logistice General - Batch master - SLED
Then finally setup Customer Exit to calculate/check the SLED.
Exit EXIT_SAPLMHD1_001 for enhancement SAPLMHD1.
Further, you can refer following SDN thread for reference/understanding:
- SLED by customer/ material

Putaway Strategy for replenishment of fixed bins - SU destination bin

My client is using ECC 6.0 Retail and using WM.
After creating the TR for the replenishment of the fixed bins according to the bin situtation using LP21, we create TOs using LB11 for article. At the TO creation, the system creates a new Quant and automatically proposes the SU# from the source bin to the destination bin. We allow addition to stock but not mixed SUs. However you can manually overwrite and input the current SU destination bin but this is very time consuming. Is there a way to have this process done automatically?
Thanks Gaetan

Hi Gaetan,
It seems this topic is extremly important recently...e.g.:
Addition to storage unit
I'm not aware of anything in standard SAP that would help you to realize your scenario. (if it is very important maybe it should be indicated to SAP AG. However, in a WH where SU management is active the material flow is realized trough SUs > if warehouse workers add the stock physically from one SU to other SU it means additional work for them physically and therefore in SAP too).

Csaba

Initial stock load of batch managed materials

Hi,
We are using batch management for FERT materials. The class type 022 is being used for creating batch class. The class has been assigned to six characteristics.
We need to load the initial stock of all these FERT items with batches with corresponding classification values within the batch. I know that system creates the batches during initial load. However, it does not provide the classification button. This is the issue only for 561 movement. For all other receipts we get the classification button.
Can anybody help me understand if I am missing any config or I am following wrong process to upload initial stock with batches.
Thank you for all your help you could provide.
-Shekhar

Can you please explain me the process of "load the classification for the batches".
We have materials with class 022. In CL20N it asks for material and class type. Using this we can enter the characterstics values for a material, but not batch.
I can change the batch to enter the characterstics values. Is it supposed to be that way? I mean do I have to load the classification using MSC2N? Or I am missing something?
Thanks,
-Shekhar

BADI - WORKORDER_GOODSMVT - check for BATCH management

Hi there,
I have implemented WORKORDER_GOODSMVT BADI (Backflush method) to fill the batch number with a default value for a given plant.
This is working fine.
However, I only want to fill this if the Material in the Production Order is "batch managed" (at the moment it's happening for all materials in the Prod. Order ). This indicator field does not appear to be available in the structures of the BADI.
If I look in CO02 for the order, I can see a column called BATCH which is filled with an 'X' in certain cases.
An F1 on the screen field says that it is 'RESBD-SPLKZ'
However, if I check RESB table (or read RESBD using a function module) , this SPLKZ field is always blank for the given order.
Does anyone have an idea why this is, or where I can find a proper "Batch Indicator" field?
All suggestions appreciated.
I have searched forums and can't find relevant solution.
Thanks,
David.

Hi Bruce,
I solved the problem by going to MARC table with material and plant, and checking field MARC-XCHPF ('Batch management requirement indicator').
if this field was set to 'X', I made my change to the CHARG field.
Hopefully this helps you.
this is from a long time ago, I should have updated the post sooner - will mark as solved now.
thanks,
David

Manage stock qty. in Storage bin for Inventory management

HI all,
We are implemented Inventory Management (display stock of material for storage location).
I want to know is there any method in Inventory Managment to Manage stock of specific material in bin also.
Means User exactly should know the stock of specific material is located in Storage Bin.
Please suggest me the hole process or any customization
Regards,
Vraj

Hi V raj,
I don't know whether i understood your question well. But i will answer in the way i understood.
To serve your requirement you need to have a Warehouse management, means to have a smooth warehouse bin wise storage.
But some companies are not willing to implement WM and they are finding a way with batch classification. They maintain batches for material and storage bin are maintain in a batch classification. So you can view it in MMBE also by going into the batch classification of the relevant batch.
And if you want to have a detail report you can develop a simple report or a query to retrieve batch classification data.
For batch classification activation:
1. Material must maintain "Batch management" tick in Purchasing and storage plant data views
2. Create a seperate class for this using CL02
3 Create batch characteristic using CT04 (this is to maintain Storage Bin)
4. Add classification view to each material and the relevant batch class.
5. When you are doing the GR use "Batch" tab and "Classification" button to maintain relevant Storage bin data. (To update mass scale you can create a "Z" report getting help of a developer in your company)
6. Now each batch you are maintained your storage bin view it trough MMBE (But only one batch classification) or in-house developed report ("Z") program
Thanks & BR

How to replenish warehouse pick bins for production orders

Hi All,
Currently in WM we use LP22 to replenish the pick bins, here LP22 considers all the outbound deliveries for creating the replenishment TRu2019s
In the similar fashion how can I use LP22 to consider Production orders (raw materials and their quantities) for replenishing the pick bins? My aim is to replenish the pick bins not just for the outbound deliveries but also for the production orders
Please suggest if this can be accomplished using LP22 by running in different ways or there is different transaction.
FYI: the materials that are ordered in the outbound and production order are same
Please suggest
Thank you

Hi,
Instead of opening multiple threads in different forums, it would be better if you reply back to the suggestion provided as to whether it helped or if you need any further help.
This is the link to your same query posted in PP forum
LP22/LP21 for production order
I hope you have gone through the forum rules & would do your bit to ensure the forum is used properly.

SUT issue while replenishment of fix bin..

Hello,
I have two storage type 035 overstock with SUT IP and fix bin storage type 005 with SUT allowed as F1 only. While replenishment, from over stock 035 to 005 fix bin with transaction code LP21 TR gets created. I am getting SUT related issue while converting TR to TO as SUT IP from 035 is not allowed for storage type 005 which has allowed SUT as F1. I can resolve this error by manual input as F1 SUT while creating TO. But for may of such TRs it is time consuming task. Is there any way by which we can convert the TR to TO without manual input of SUT as F1? Please note that, I don't want to allow SUT of 035 to fix bin in SUT configuration.
Thanks,
Milind

Hello Jürgen,
Thanks!
I am closing this forum with summering the resolution as below.
(1) The only way to achieve this in standard way is, to allow both SUT IP and F1 for storage type 005 in customization. . If there is business constrain of not to allow SUT IP for storage type IP then, either we need to manually change SUT or look for development.
I am proposing below simple development in point (2)
(2) Main principle of development is to use TO creation functional module and add default value of SUT F1. We can use this in RF customized transaction.
Thanks again Manish and Jürgen,
Milind
