Serial number and batch determination in sales order

Good afternoon,
When I try to assign any serial numbers to a given material in sales order, the system returns the message "Maintaining serial numbers only possible, if valuation type is specified". I can workaround this by assigning a batch number to the item, then I can input my serial numbers normally.
Well, that leads me two questions:
1) Can we assingn serial numbers WITHOUT having to input batch numbers first?
2) If not, is it possible to determine batches in sales order items without having them created previously in tcode MSC1N?
Thanks in advance and best regards.

Dear Kris,
Yes, I know this is an unusual scenario, but our customers require us to send the serial numbers of the products in advance for documentation purposes.

Adriano Cardoso

  • Batch determination in sales orders

    Hi,
    I have 2 questions related to batch handling in sales:
    1. Can anyone list the pros and cons of having batch determination done in the sales order instead of at the time of delivery creation? Please describe in detail and do not just copy and paste the SAP standard explanations. Experiences are very welcome.
    2. If I do batch determination in sales order, how do I make sure that the specific batch is there for delivery? In the ATP there is no such filed to include or exclude batches for a material, so I wonder - how is the batch reserved when entering it in the sales order? Please describe the reservation mechanisms if any.
    Thanks in advance,
    Lars

    Lars Tornblom,
    1.  Can anyone list the pros and cons of having batch determination done in the sales order instead of at the time of delivery creation?
    We Can proceed with Batch Determination at sales order there is nothing wrong in it. The Batch that you determine at the order level remains the same in delivery. The batch gets copied in the delivery level.
    1. You cannot change the Batches at Delivery level.
    2. Batch Split is not possible at Order level. (Since BAtch split CHSP is available only at Delivery level)
    2. If I do batch determination in sales order, how do I make sure that the specific batch is there for delivery?
    Based on Copy controls the Batches that you have mentined at order level gets copies to Delivery. you cannot chenge the batch.
    That is the reason why we proceed with Batch management at Delivery process, wherein we can choose the Batch Manually OR Go for Automatic Batch.
    You can also perform Batch Split, Choose the Materials from the batch. that's having stock.
    3. In the ATP there is no such filed to include or exclude batches for a material, so I wonder - how is the batch reserved when entering it in the sales order? Please describe the reservation mechanisms if any
    We activate the Batch Management Indicator in The Material master - Sales: General data View. and proceed with Batch configuration in Logistics General. The Batch concept is managed by three modules MM,SD and PP. So its an integration point.
    In the case you have suggested that Batch will be carried from Sales order, now the stocks are created in batches and stored in storage location. so the batch should exists before you raise an order then only you can confirm.
    If no Batches are aintained and you are trying to enter batch in sales order it will throw an error stating "No Batches Maintained".
    If Batches are there for the material then it will be assigned. If batches are not existing then it will throw an error as explained above.

  • Batch Determination at Sales order

    Dear Friends
    The batch determination at Sales order level, the selection criteria
    shows characteristic LOBM_LFDAT, which is Batch determination delivery date
    however this date differs from the actual delivery date from schedule line
    or the requested delivery date.
    As I searched this is not maintained as a characteristic in the Class.
    nor in Batch master record or any strategy.
    How is this coming by default.
    please guide
    Kind Regards Ravi

  • Batch determination in Sales order

    Greetings. I have an issue. Actually we are doing standart batch determination in sales order. But that determination doesn't fit our needs. So, we want to do that batch determination with a user exit ('cause we just did it in the deliveries), but I can't find the exit in the program of sales order creation (SAPMV45A).
    Someone knows where can I find that exit? Is that program which I had to look?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Rodriguez,
    Please try with these User Exits
    Program  MV45AFZZ   
    USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT                                                       
    Use this user exit to fill user-specific statistics update tables.           
    The user exit is called up by the FORM routine BELEG-SICHERN before          
    the COMMIT command.                                                          
    Note                                                                         
    If a standard field is changed, the field r185d-dataloss is set to           
    X. The system queries this indicator at the beginning of the safety          
    routine. This is why this indicator must also be set during the              
    maintenance of user-specific tables that are also to be saved.                                                                               
    USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE                                               
    Use this user exit to make certain changes or checks immediately             
    before saving a document. It is the last possibility for changing or         
    checking a document before posting.                                          
    The user exit is carried out at the beginning of the FORM routine            
    BELEG_SICHERN.  
    I hope it will help you,

  • Batch Determination In Sales Order (VA01)

    Hi!,
    I have activated automatic batch determination in sales order.
    Batch dertimination condition customer(Sold-To-Party)-material record is maintained in VCH1. It is working fine.
    Now I have required to perform batch determination based on Ship-To-Party.
    Can any body guide in this matter?
    Thanks
    BD

    Hi!
    Thanks for the reply. I have already maintained the condition (VCH1) for sold-to-party. As per your advice I have also created another condition for ship-to-party. Still during batch determination sold-to-party is taking.
    Now I want to remove the sold-to-party condition record. Can you tell the transaction code to delete this condition record maintained by VCH1.
    Thanks

  • Automatic Batch determination in Sales Order

    Dear Experts,
    I have the following problem : When inserting a material in a sales order, batch is automatically determined correctly. (I have customized batch determination through plant). Before saving the order, if I delete the plant and entered a new one, by pressing enter, the batch is not being automatically determined, although  it should. I have to press item batch determination button , in order to determine it again.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Dina

    Hi Dina,
    I guess that either this is the way it works, or there's an SAP note to fix it.
    I'd suggest that you first look for a note in the service marketplace, and if you don't find one, create a ticket in OSS.

  • Error during batch determination in sales order

    Hi all,
    I have this information error during batch determination: LB059 " Error when mixing configuration and selection criteria" .
    Does anyone know what i´m doing wrong?
    We are using materials with characteristics, and when i try the batch determination in a sales order, i got this messagge.
    Thank you all!!

    Hello Juan
    The characteristics you used to configure the product in the sales order are passed dynamically during run time as selection criteria to determine a matching class and that's where the problem is happening.
    Sit with an ABAPer to debug and find out what's the issue. Your focus for this activity should be on the following includes to Program SAPLV01F:
    LV01FFC1
    and
    LV01FM01
    More specifically, test the following Function Modules with your live data to figure out which one is failing:
    CLO0_DDB_OBJ_VALUATION_OPEN
    CTMS_DDB_HAS_CHARACTERISTICS
    CTMS_DDB_HAS_VALUES
    CTMS_DDB_DEL_VALUE
    CTMS_DDB_SET_VALUE_INTERNAL
    CLO0_DDB_OBJ_VALUATION_CLOSE
    Hope this helps. Sorry it is hard to give a functional type of response to this very technical issue.

  • Integration of serial number and batch number

    Hi All,
    My client Maintains the Serial Number for Finished Good and Sub-Assembly.
    and all the raw materials are procurred in batches.
    I hav integrated the serial number for FG and Sub-Assy with T.Code COIB.
    Now how can i retrieve the detail for a particular serial number for Finished Good, mean to say if any problem comes in market for the product and we get a serial number then how to drill down.
    ANother question is How to integrate serial number for sub-assy's with the batch number of different raw materials.
    Thanks in Advance
    ANI

    Hi,
    If I got it right, you defined an AS-BUILT-Configuration manually. (COIB)
    Normally the relationships are a result of the production process, meaning that for every serialized FG and SFG you have exactly one ProdOrd, and this way you also have the ROH batches that you issued to each ProdOrd = serial number.
    Then based on this information you can create the full relationship tree for each serialized FG, and can also reference it by the batch number if for example there's something wrong with a certain batch (where used).

  • Copy purchase order number and date from one sales order to other sales ord

    Hi,
    I am creating sales order in va01. here i am entering purchase order number (p100) and date. Sales order number ex: 42000
    I am creating another sales order with reference to 42000. when creating sales order with reference to 42000, purchase order number (p100) and date has to be copied automatically from that order.
    Can anyone please give me a solution?
    Thanks in advance
    Babu

    Dear Babu,
    Currently, PO number is being mentioned in copy routine 101 but this  
    field VBKD-BSTKD is being cleared out.                                
    If we check this routine code:                                                                               
    FORM DATEN_KOPIEREN_101.                                              
    Data which is not copied                                            
    Pricing date for consignment issue by external service agent from   
    the scheduling agreement                                            
      IF CVBAK-VBTYP CA VBTYP_LP_EDL.                                     
        CLEAR VBKD-PRSDT.                                                 
      ENDIF.                                                              
    PO data should not be copied                                        
      CLEAR: VBKD-BSTKD,                    <<<<<                         
             VBKD-BSTDK,                                                  
    In order to achieve your requirement, you need to consider creating you
    own copying routines for VBKD fields copying standard copying routines
    (for example copying routine 101) according your business requirements
    and change them via transaction VOFM, in order to:                    
      - deactivate the LOCAL: statement                                   
      - delete the clear statements                                                                               
    Once you have created those two routines to match your business needs,
    you can insert them in transaction VTAA, so the sales order will copy 
    the PO date at item level.                                            
    I hope I was able to help you.
    Kind regards,

  • Serial Number and Batch

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a requirement for creating serialized materials, I am not sure about need to activate batch management in the serialized materials. Can we activate only serial number with out batch management? What is the situations we need to activate batch management in the material masters?
    Please advice.
    Thanks
    John K.

    there is no need to activate batch management to mainaint serial numbers, mention the serial number profile in material master. while making GR and goods issue of that material system will ask for serial numbers.
    batchs are mainly maintained in pharma, chemical, electronics etc once you receive a meterial then it is treated as one batch.if you recive second time that is another batch for that material. because some parameter like denisty, colour, quality may not be same for all batchs. there may  be slite difference, which is crucial in some industries, so maintaing batchs are necessary for that industries.

  • Default Batch value in sale Order items

    Hello SD Experts,
    Please, is there a way to recover a default value for the batch of all posts in a Sale Order (SO).
    In fact I want to have a default value Z001 in the batch field of all post's of  SO type ZS01.
    is that possible? if so how the customiz it?
    thank you in advance.
    SDA

    Hello,
    You could consider creating a batch strategy (T-code VCH1) and use it to control the batch determination in sales order.
    Hope it helps.

  • Batch split in sales order

    Hi,
    I have a requirement as follows regarding the batch determination in sales order.
    There is an item with 4 batches of 10 Qty each.
    In the sales order the item is entered for 24 Qty, system is proposing 1st batch with 10 qty and the balance 14 is confirmed for a different date as no qty available for the stock as on today on the same batch.
    But the stock is available with the other batch items meeting the selection criteria.
    So can anyone let me know when the item is entered for 24, system should propose the available batches as 10 batch1, 10 batch2 and 4 for batch3 in sales order.
    What is the setting required to be done for this scenario?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Gopinath Naik R

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    But my requirement is exactly the one u have suggested and it goes like this,
    Item A has three batches 00001111, 00002222, 00003333
    00001111  -  12 Qty
    00002222  -  15 Qty
    00003333  -  10 Qty
    When a sale order is created for 14, as per the selection criteria if the selection is as per the sequence shown above, then system is first getting the batch 00001111 of 12 Qty and will prompt for 2 qty of stock not available.
    But ideally system should first get 00001111 of 12 Qty and then in the next line 00002222 of 2 Qty to meet the requirement.
    Please let me know if this was clear and let me know if any possibilities to meet the requirement.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Serial number copy functionality when creating return orders from standards

    Hi all,
    Serial number is not copying when i create return order from the standard orders in below scenario.
    I implemented one BADI for copying Serial number to Sales order when doing Post goods receipt.
    So after doing inbound delivery and PGR, serial number is copied to the sales order but when i create return order with reference to the Standard order Serial number is not copying.
    When i go VA02 for standard order and selecting the technical objects then if i create the return order serial number is copying.

  • What is the difference between Serial numbers and Batch management.

    Hi Gurus,
    Can anyone explain the difference between Serial Number and Batch Management in breif.
    Regards
    Ravi

    Hi,
    Serial number management and batch management are different functions that can be
    used in conjunction with each other.
    A batch represents a non-reproducible subset
    of the total quantity of a material held in stock, which is managed separately from
    other subsets of the same material.
    For Example  Different production lots
    (for example, paints, wallpapers, pharmaceutical products), delivery lots or quality
    grades of a material.
    whereas a serial number is a number that you give to an individual item of material in addition
    to the material number, in order to differentiate between this individual piece and all
    other items of the material. The combination of material number and serial number
    is unique. It is not necessary to use the batch management function to use serial
    number management.
    Regards
    VIjay.
