SAP MM Batch Management

Hi All,
Can anybody explain how to delete the batches? My client wants to make the Batch Management field deactivate in the material master.The stock is zero for this material and I am not able to delete the existing batches.

Hello,
First you have to flag your batch records for deletion - MSC2N - and after that you can archive them - MM74. See if this helps.

How to setup batch management in sap and how batch work?

Hi
I hope to check how batch managment work in sap?
If we setup batch management in mm03 for one matieral,
Will the batch number be created automatically or the number should be created first then we scan it?
when we do goods movement for this mateiral, will system automatically select which batch number is smallest then move that one, or we select one mateiral and scan its batch?
How batch management control the first in and fisrt out (FIFO) ?
Thanks

Hi
I think that you have had your question answered so if you are happy with this can you please award points if you want to but mainly can you please mark your question as answered so that it is easier to navigate around the open questions in the forum as the number of pages are growing and growing and it takes too long to go through everything especially if a satisfactory answer has already been given and people like me who want to help will give up and so some people may not get any help.
Thanks for this

Does SAP Provide any standard conversion program for Batch Managment activa

Hi,
An idea if SAP Provides any standard program to conversion of non batch managed material to batch managed material in a productive SAP Environment and close open documents,
It would be great help if somebody can reply to these queries.
Thanks in advance

Bijaya Pradhan

Hi
Use the same Driver program RIPROV00 which is used as Script driver program to fire the output from smartforms also
Only thing is little bit you have to modify the program such that it triggers the smartform instead of Script.
I think there is no smartform driver program for this IW21.
see some standard SF driver program like RLE_DELNOTE and
modify it and use it.

SAP RVBCONVMAT2BM Set Batch Management to materials with stock

Dear Gurus:
We are trying to make mass changes in material master, to activate arround 2,000 materials with batch management flag. We heard about the SAP program release RVBCONVMAT2BM, to let us do it in ma massive action.
Could anyone of you can give me support to get this program?
In other way, the tasks to be done manually will be not succesful because we currently have more than one month of operations in SAP.

Hi Jose,
The report could only be provided by SAP developer after evaluate the specific situation on your system. I think the evaluation process should be very complex and that is why your reported issue has been hold at SAP for such a long time, also only a completed evaluation is done, the SAP developer could provide the report, this is to ensure the data consistency in your system because change the batch management indicator with material stock is a very dangerous bevavior, this could only be done under a strict check. You can't run this report by your own if this is not provided by SAP, because if it cause any serious database inconsistency by running this report without evaluation from SAP developer, then SAP will not responsible for the result and will not help you correct the situation, so I suggest you should better have some pacient and wait for the update from SAP developer, or you may escalate your issue to require a quick process.

Std SAP Quetionaire for Implementing for WM & Batch Management

Hi Friends
Can you help me for Std SAP Quetionaire for Implementing for WM & Batch Management. As i want to implement Batch Mangement & Warehouse Management in Client System.
The Document i am looking for shall be roadmap in order to fully utilize the availble functionalities.
Please Help ASAP.
Thanks
Saurabh

Dear Saurabh,
Don't take it other-wise, But my Approach is Far-Far Different from Others:
In any Implementation, for any Software Module, Two Important Aspects:
1. Knowledge about that Particular Software/ Module. Functionality-wise, You must know the Capabilities of Software -
a. What Process can be Mapped, in Standard Package
b. What Process can be mapped via Customization
c. What could not be achieved i.e. System Restrictions
2. One must be able to understand Clients' Industry-Specific Business Processes and Requiremements.
Untill-Unless, One is not able to Clearify himself on above Two-Basic-Points, How could he able to resolve/ assist others?
Also, Its not like that one fine day, I got-up and find myself in Consultant's Shoes. I think, Your Company must have provided Basic Assistance, in order to groom, as per your Profile.
Consult your Senior Consultants - WM (MM) for the same.
Best Regards,
Amit
Note: I, myself, upgrading as BW Consultant from SD-Consulant, for an Upcoming Project. A sufficient Time-Frame is being provided my Org., in advance as well as, proper guidance has been provided by my Senior-Mates, at my Professional-end.

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
Regards,
Eduardo
PD: I forgot SAP Note Number 33968 SD/CO-PA: Characteristics from sales doc tables

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...

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 at delivery

Hi,
User1 has created a outbound delivery and assigned a batch manually.
So that particular batch has been assigned "fully".
Later after some seconds, User2 created another outbound delivery for the same material against his Sales order.
User 2 gets the same batch to assign manually for the second delivery ?
It's for sure that once the picking is completed, this will not happen. But it might be late to know the error.
How can we restrict this "assigning the same batch to the multiple deliveries" in non-picked status of deliveries ?
Is this something to do with the data processing delay in SAP ? If yes, how can we improve it ?

How about automatic batch determination.

Batch Management

Dear Sap Gurus,
I had sucessfullly configured Batch Management.But i am unable to understand process , how batch is allocated in sale order.
According to my understanding:
1. creste charachteristic and assign the chts to class.
2. assign class to material master, and batch is activated in all area.
3.sort sequence is assigned to chts.
4.batch search strategy is assigned with strategy type.
strategy type is assigned with access sequence and acc seq is assigned with table and fields.
sort rule is defined here.maintain the condition record
I would like to know the process flow how the system will determine the batch management?
kindly explain the process how it works.

Batch management and returns

Hi we are a soft drink manufacturer, we have batch management for raw materials but also need it for finished goods. OK so no problem works well so far. However we do send out trucks with product on board, those truck may not sell all of the product on the truck that day so we need to bring partial pallets / batches back to the warehouse. In SAP how do we do the batch management on partial pallets or batches. It is not convenient to create a new batch for one case of soft drinks or maintain an existing batch for one case. Anyone have any thoughts on how to manage this process?
Looking forward to reading your thoughts on this.
Regards,

Hi Mario, I've been reading up on documentary batches and a few questions if you are able to answer.
The information say
You can enter document batches in the following process steps:
u2022 Goods receipt for external procurement
u2022 Goods receipt for subcontracting
u2022 Goods issue for subcontracting
u2022 Goods receipt from production
u2022 Goods issue to production
u2022 Picking delivery to customer
Doesn't mention bringing the product back into stock .... is this supported
And
No functions in batch status management (in other words, no stock postings take place when the batch status changes
So will docuementary batches support my scenario where product is loaded onto a truck partially sold then returned to warehouse to be loaded again the next day?
Can you hightlight the steps to complete this process if possible?
Thanks

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 issue.

hello all,
i have batch management active in mm,automatic batch is created during GR.
now i want to implement fifo goods issue,but it needs material master view to be extended to classificatio tab under which i will assign the class.we have almost 20000 material already in sap system ,this may be a big task to assign class to each material.
is there any another settings or configuration available for fifo goods issue.
i know the settings like.
create a characteristic for last Goods receipt date with table name MCH1 & field LWEDT
- Assign this to class
- Create sort sequence with ascending order CU70
- Then create batch search strategy in MBC1 transaction if you want batch determination in production order
- Give the sort rule there
pls suggest me.
