SLED In Batch managment for materials

Dear Experts,
The requirement for the business is as follows
Can sled be kept optional for few materials and mandatory for few materials during good receipt.
Any configuration apart from Material master(Plant data storage) to meet this requirement.Kindly suggest.
Thanks
Vijaya Rebala

What do you mean by few materials ?
What is the different for these few materials ?
If you want the field selection level, then you can use different material for these few materials.
As we know the option can be used only in material master, so you can control this in material master by using different material type/ field selection.
Or If you find any different (instead of material type) for these few material, then you can set the field as mandatory for few material by using some development (user exit or badi).

Turn on batch managed for materials

Hi Expert!
Is there anyway to turn on batch managed for material after it has been used for some times?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use the Batch Management functionality, even after having some stock for a material without Batch classification. After activating Batch Management, when you enter goods movements for materials, then onwards you must enter the batch number in addition to the material number.
Before you can manage batches of a material in stock, you must first specify in the material master record that the material is to be managed in batches for the specified plant. To do this, you must set the batch management requirement indicator in the material master record (for example, in the Purchasing or Storage view).

SLED with Batch Management

HI Gurus,
We are using batch management for the material. At the time of goods receipt i am getting error
Shortfall of 100 days against remaining shelf life in current item (365 Day)
I have read some document and found that SLED calculate from the goods receipt document date with batch management. And i found the days difference error as follow.
For SLED of a batch calculates as follows:
SLED = total shelf life + production date from the goods receipt document.
Total shelf life is 365 day according to material master. 21.11.2012 Minas 365 remaing shelf life =13.11.2011
From November 2011 to todayu2019s date 21.02.2012. =100 days.
My question is : If system calculate SLED from the goods receipt (current date) for batch management. Then what is the use of enter manufacturing date in Goods Receipt.
And do i need to change manufacturing date to current date every time. even if material not manufactured in today's date (for example manuf in last month)
Please can any one help me to understand the scenario.
Thanks in Advance.

Assume there is a joghurt.
it is produced on February 1 and has 30 days shelf life in material master, so he shelf life expiration date is March 2nd.
if you have a minimum remaining shelf life entered in your material master e.g. 5 days.
then system actls like this
If you receive this joghurt today (February 21) then you can receive without any error.
but if you want receive this joghurt on February 28, then you get the message "Shortfall of 3 days against remaining shelf life ..."
because your receipt date is withing the minimum remaining shelf life period.
this minimum remaining shelf life shall give you time enough to consume that material. otherwise it is expired before you start using it.
hence a minimum remaining shelf life must be much shorter than the total shelf life. an equal number makes it almost impossible to receive any good.

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......

Is it possible to activate Batch Management for a material without Class?

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to activate Batch Management for a material without having Class & Characteristics maintained. As my requirement is to procure Fuels in Batches only with external no. assignment without any parameters to be checked at the time of Goods Receipt? Batches are needed for Accountability purpose.
Regards

Please check this answered link:
Batch-classification view
If you want classify a batch, then you should have maintained the batch classification in material master which is either class 022 or class 023 (depends on your batch level set in cusotmizing). The material class 001 has no impact on the batch classifcition, it is what it is: a classification for the material.

Automatic batch management for Production order receipt

Hello ,
I have a requirement to setup & activate Batch Management only for Production order Good Receipt . I am looking out for what all configuration / data setup will be required to complete this .
To start with I have following questions .
1. Whether such activation is possible only for Production order Good receipt - 101 mov.type
2. IF yes , is Batch management activation status be at material or plant level .
3. As I need automatic assignment , should I be selecting Internal batch management .
4. What should be selected for valuation for Goods movement in Inventory management.
5. Is it necessary to have batch determination by maintaining Condition tables / Access sequence
6. What would be standard Class / characteristics to be maintained for automatic determination.
Also I will have to work with the running system where Material are already active and have stock in system . What precautions will I have take if I have to activate the Batch Management in a running system.
Appreciate all your expert advise.
Regards,
Lawrei

Thanks Adler for your comments .
With reference to your point , need further clarifications
1. If batch management is selected to material , this means that it will be active for all movement types for Inventory and cannot be restricted to 101 mov.type .
I see that in config node
+Define Batch Creation for Goods Movements+
    +Using this function, you can define for each movement type whether a new+
    +batch is created for a goods receipt and how it is created.+
Can I not restrict batch creation only for 101 movement , but again here I don't have options to select only for Good receipt for order - Tran/Ev type - WF .
& what about below config node
+Define Batch Creation for Production Order / Process Order+
    +In this step you can make the following settings in batch management for+
    +the existing production control profiles:+
Is it possible in this node .
Please advise.
Regards.

Set batch management for reasons of cost management item cannot be deleted

Discovery was made that a material should have had batch management MARC-XCHPF selected. Within that time sales orders were created as well as sales order stock. 411E movements were done to get rid of the sales order stock, and it can not be seen in MMBE. MD04 is also clear. New attempt to add batch management in the plant displayed errors - SD Documents exist (orders or deliveries) that have not yet been
processed or that have been processed only in part.
   Document   Item
   206365     000020
Attempt to remove item 20 from sales order and receive error
Message no. V1128
For reasons of cost management, item 000020 cannot be deleted.
Diagnosis
You tried to delete a sales document item for which cost management is carried out. Cost management can exist at item level for
   - make-to-order production
   - make-to-order stock
   - service contract item
Procedure
Enter a reason for rejection at item level.
I found a similar problem on the forum but not really a solution other than throwing in the towel and making new materials.

Hi
What I understand from your thread is:
You have chekced batchmanagement in
material master & after working some time you want to remove that tick mark.
First of all one should understand that for what ever reason batch management is ON, you can not reverse it .
Either activation or deactivation of batchmanagement is irreversible.
Oflat SAP had come with a note telling that how to proceed with reversal batch management.
I have gone through that note .Finally SAP wants to take consultancy with some fees to make reversal.
It is all pain ful job.
If you can do it abandom thta material & create new material.
This is the solution I can give.
Hope it is celar to you.

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.

SLED Without batch management

Hello Gurus
How to implement Shelf life expire data concept with out batch management .
How to identify stocks , only based on Shelf life in Inventory managment ?
Any input will be highly appreciated
Thanks
Nick

Thanks for your input
Hi,Biju
Qn for you : Suppose if i receive 100 today with sled life 60 days , and tomorrow 100 with sled life 60 days, means total stock is 200.
How we came to know which stock contains 60 days and 59 days as on today. MMBE report will show 200 only, what we are going to gain by this ?
How a user knows about the SLED life ,In our case Date of Production and date of receipt will be same
Thank your Jürgen L. , Your point is valid
Without batch management it is unmanageable.
Is it any way to distinguish the stock by SLED life without batch managment ?
Is it possible to pull the delivery BY SLED days using FIFO through Inventory managment ?
Thanks for the valuable discussion

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 reddy

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.

Engineering change management for materials in MDM

Hi,
we want to replace a home-made material master data system by MDM, but need some Engineering Change Management functions like
- versions of material
- release dates
- different release dates in relation to different factories (i.e. client systems)
Any idea, how this could be handled in MDM ?
Michael Tegethoff
KONE GmbH

Hello Michael:
All of that information you mention can be included on MDM as plain attributes on the Materials table.
As for Versions, if materials are updated thru MDM Import I'd suggest include the new version number and as import action choose "Update all mapped fields", that is, while importing the old version number will be updated.
for different release dates you can maintain as many date attributes as Factories you have. When harmonizing data (syndicating) you can map each factory to its correspondant release date, so the other factories won't even "notice" the other dates.
Please let me know if that helped at all.
Greetings!
Alejandro

All pruchased materials to batch management

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody please throw some light on the following scenario. The business is proposing to batch manage all the materials that we buy. What are the implications that we will be facing by going this way? What technicaltities that i need to be aware of from the System perspective so that i can explain all the pros and cons of doing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Anusha

always keep in mind that it is not easy to activate batch management for materials that are already in use, and it is even more difficult to impossible to switch it off again, if you change your mind.
Batch management is an additional level to manage stocks, so it brings complexity in your system and is so an area to make some more errors.If you are already batch managment, then using BM for all purchased materials will not be a big challenge.
However, activation of BM for materials that are in use (stocks, open POs, etc) is quite challenging, as you must not have any stock in current and previous period to be able to activate BM. for details see OSS note 30656.
The more complex your business is, the more complex it becomes for this activation. Eg. if you are using vendor consignment, split valuation warehouse managment.
If you have to activate a lot materials, then SAP offers reports to do it despite of open documents and stock, but this costs extra money. there are OSS notes about this.

Converting from non-batch to batch management

Hi guys,
Can you tell what is the best strategy to convert a system from non-batch managed to batch managed? Batch management should have been implemented from the start, but my client just realized that mistake. This is knowing that we already have inventory and all kinds of transactional data: purchase orders, sales order, production orders...
I am looking for the less painfull strategy, as detailed as possible.
Thank you.
Fotso

HI,
Hi,
Procedure to be followed to activate Batch Management for Materials: -
1. Mark Deletion Flag for all the Open Purchasing Documents of Materials
2. Technical Completion of Production Orders to cancel open Reservations of Materials
3. Create a Dummy Material for Material (Batch Management Active)
4. Generate details of Unrestricted Stock of Materials as per Bill of Entry
5. Transfer Stock of Materials to Dummy Material using Movement Type "309" in previous period (Stock will be transferred Bill of Entry wise)
6. Activate batch Management for Materials
7. Transfer Stock from Dummy Material to Materials
Note: -
1) If there is stock available in previous period and also stock available in current period then Transfer Posting from Material to Material can be done directly in previous period. (Comparison of Tables MARD and MARDH)
2) In case if there is stock in previous period but no stock available in current period then we have to post an initial stock entry using movement type "561" to generate stock in current period (Here Quantity = Stock in Previous period)
3) Reverse these Material Documents in previous period
There are several SAP notes that give some useful information:
30656 Change base unit of measure/batch mngt requirement
533383 Resetting batch management requirement
533377 Conversion of batch level
I hope this helps!
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran

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.
