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...

Change in delivery quantity for batch managed items.

30.09.2010
Hi friends,
We have activated batch management. During delivery after the batch is determined and if i want to change the delivery quantity say for example from 50 to 30 then first i have to go and adjust the quantity in the batches to toal 30 and then come back and change the delivery quantity from 50 to 30.
After searching the forum i have found user exits, but other than the user exits is there a standard configuration wheren if i change the delivery quantity the quantity is adjusted in the batches. Please advise.

Did you try working with the batch strategy config?
Try working with fields a) Over Del allowed, and b) Qty proposal.

Hope this helps. Let me know.

VPRS cost and batch management

Hi Gurus,
Is there any link between the cost and batch management? Currently users has posted a billing document and the cost is 0. The VPRS value in the SO is correctly but it is not brought to the billing document.
We have tested and it seems that this is because the batch management checkbox is not checked in material master, so the VPRS is not generated in billing.
Please advise. Thanks.
Regards,
FY

Hi Javier,
what do you do with the VPRS in your calculation- system ?
If you need i, you delete the requirement 004 in your calculation -system.
on the other hand, you can change TANN to komp-evrwr (price determination on the item category) is 'X'. Then you have to add an 100% rabate for TANN and the resukt will be free good.

351 movmnt type doesnot refers the Batch managed items with respect to P.O

Dear SAP Gurus,
For Stock transport order, i am using the 351 and 101 movement type.
The batch managed items are provided in the Purcahse order and the same batch is displayed while receiving the material -101 movement ytpe with respect to Purchase order, but while performing the Goods issue - 351 movement type , the batch is not displayed in the line item.
Kindly help me to solve this
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards,
R.Diwakar

Dear SAP Guru,
Thanks for your kind response
yes, the batch managed material is already available in both plants that is material already extended.
Manually the batch is entered by the receiving plant (what they required for STO), but while performing the Good issue against the Stock Transfer order the batch is not referred or automatically flows to the batch managed items.
in 351 movement type.
Kindly guide me on this.
Thanks and Regards,

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

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.

Update picking quantity in delivery for batch split items

Hi,
I'm trying to use the function module WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE to update the existing deliveries. I'm able to do batch split for the items in delivery using the same FM. I have also requirement to delete these items (batch split items).
To delete these items first we have to make quantities to zero. So I'm able to make delivery quantity of these items to zero but not picking quantity.
If we do not make picking quantity also zero it will not allow to delete these items
and gives an error message saying "item is already made available for transfer order".
Could some one let me kow how to make picking quantity also zero for batch spit items using FM.
Thanks

Hi Vikram
To nullify the Picking Quantity, we can use FM: SD_DELIVERY_UPDATE_PICKING.
Parameters to be passed:
VBKOK_WA
-- VBELN_VL - Delivery Number
-- VBELN - Sales Document Number
SYNCHRON - 'X'
VBPOK_TAB
-- VBELN_VL - Delivery Number
-- POSNR_VL - Delivery Item Number
-- VBELN -- Sales Document Number
-- POSNN -- Sales Document Item Number
-- MATNR -- Material Number
-- LFIMG -- '0.000'.
Have tried this in both cases whereby we have partial picking done and full picking done and worked for both cases.
Please try on your end too...
Hope this helps.

Actual item cost for batched items

Hi everyone,
I'm not entirely sure if there is an easy solution to this, however we have a client where their stock consumption method does not match their stock costing method therefore they can never really get a true stock valuation from SAP.
They currently have their items set to FIFO however they don't always use the oldest stock as its not always feasible to do so.
Due to this, they cannot really find out the age of the items in stock as SAP assumes they use the oldest stock first. To get around this I've suggested using either serial numbers for big items and batch numbers for the smaller items which will allow them to track when it came in to stock and whether it has gone out or not. This works well and allows the users to find out the age of the stock. However, the cost calculated in the journals and posted to cost of sales is picking up the cost from the oldest open layer in the FIFO (OINM) table and not the cost from the layer from the associated batch.
Is there any way we can get the system to pick up the actual cost of the item being dispatched?
If not, we may just have to create a report which looks at all open batches, get the incoming cost and get a stock valuation that way.
Has anybody faced similar issues?
Regards,
Adrian

Hi Marcella,
Many thanks for your reply.
I have looked in to both Standard and Moving Average and ran through various scenarios but unfortunately neither is exactly what the client wants and neither allows them to get a true stock valuation by item. The client would ideally like the actual cost to be posted, but I'm afraid its either the oldest layer, average cost or a standard cost posted.
Some items could possibly be standard as the cost doesn't alter too much, however some item costs vary rapidly dependent upon things such as exchange rates and other market influences.
I think this may have to be done via reports.
Regards,
Adrian

DRQ: Specific Identification Method for Inventory Valuation

This is a request to incorporate the features of Specific Identification Method (or Actual Cost) of Inventory Valuation for Serial Number / Batch Number controlled items.
Found lots of threads in the Forum regarding this topic, but could not able find out any answer from SAP.
Sometimes back, myself posted the same thread, but got reply that Navision has this features please use that.
Hope SAP Team has enough knowledge about this method of valuation, that is why I am not giving any example.
If require I can provide enough example on this topic.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Peter,
This is the same requirement we need in mexico. What do you mean with "Next major releases"?
In other words, this requirement is not going to be consider for next version 8.8?
Waiting for your response.

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,
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.
Then you need to define multiple varinat for the program.
(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.
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.

Material getting set for Batch Management in O/B delivery

Hi Folks,
For a material which is not batch managed, I created an outbound delivery.
For some reason, the material is getting set as 'BatchManagement' even though the Batch Management indicator is not set.
Due to this PGI is not possible.
Any thoughts on why the 'Batch Management' indicator has been set and how to resolve this?
Regards,

Hi Jürgen ,
I am unable to replicate this problem in Q. Its occuring only in P while doing a goods issue.
Message is
"The batches are not defined for delivery item XXXXXX".
As I said earlier, we have not set the batch management check box in MM.
However the outbound delivery has the batch management check box selected .
Anything I missed to check? Q is almost identical to P. But still issue is only in P.
Regards,
