STO from non batch managed to batch managed - Incorrect batch being posted

Hi Folks,
We use STOs to transfer materials from a non batch managed plant into a batch managed plant with a one step movement. The process we use is to create the STO and enter material, batch, quantity and receiving plant / Sloc. Then create an outbound delivery (which pulls through the correct batch) for the STO which we pick and PGI. The movements are a 647 out of issuing plant (no batch), a 647 into receiving plant (no batch) and a 101 into receiving plant (with batch).
The problem I have is that even though the correct batch is in both the STO and the delivery, when the one step PGI is done SAP ignores the batch and automatically creates a new one.
Any one seen this before?
Cheers
Keith

Isn't possible the material once had been batch managed but later batch management was removed (and batches archived)? You can have a look at change hisotry of material master <-- update: forget this suggestion...you cannot remove batch management indicator if you have stock...
If the material is really not batch managed (you can find relevant record in MCHA table) then it seems you have inconsitency in your system; it's better you report this error to OSS.

Problem with STO from non-WM to WM-HU

Hi,
We have found out recently that we cannot move materials from non-WM to WM-HU storage locations with STO (313-315). When we are trying to post 313 from non-WM storage location, system gives error "ILN basis no. for plant XXXX, stor.locat. XXXX or whse number not found" where XXXX is the plant id and storage location id for non-WM stor.loc., so it should not have any ILN configured.
We have been using this functionality for a long time, last time in Septmeber. But since the problem applies to all materials and all STOs between non-WM and WM-HU, the problem is not connected to material master or specific storage location but should be some general setting in the system.
Does anybody has any idea where to look for?
Best regards,
Ewa

Hello,
You probably already solved your problem (hope for you!) anyway it should have to do with SSCC number
Glossary: International Location Number (ILN)
Check the customozing under Logistic General - >Handling Unit Management -->External Identification

Auto TO from non-WM to WM

Hi All,
I need to know if it is possible to create automatic TO for movment 311, when material is transferred from non-WM location to WM managed location.
What the configuration needed.
Thanks
Alex.

Hi Alex,
It is possible. You need to set IM-WM interface in SPRO for the particular warehouse.
SPRO>LE>WM>Interface>Inventory mgt-->define movement type
Select "LE-WM Interface to Inventory Management"
Enter below record
Wh No. Ref mvt typ ....... WM mvt type TR creation Immd TO creation
XXX 311 311 X A*
With "A" in this field system will generate TO automatically in the background. If you need TO creation in foreground; enter X in place of A.
XXX is your warehouse number
Hope this will help.

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

Change existing stock items from Non-Batch to Batch Management Method

Hi,
Any prerequisites before changing the existing stock items from Non-Batch to Batch Management method which have On hand stock qty? Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Priscilla

Hi
You can change the method only when, available Qty becomes zero.
OR
you can do one workaround :
Make Goods Issue of that Item and take value of stock in any GL,
and then change the method of that item, then make Goods Reciept by using that GL which was used in Goods Issue.

Changed Material from non-batch to batch-managed

Dear Gurus,
Could anyone advise on the steps that I need to perform in order to change the material from non-batch to batch-managed in the material master?
There are stocks being captured in current month and previous month
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Batch management for existing material can not be done if it has stock and value.You can keep stock value NIL (By reversing) and then proceed with batch management.Batch Management you doing means , you just subdividing the material according to its characterstics of material.
The Customisation steps are:
1.Create Characterstics,
2.Create Class,
3.In material master, select classification view and tick batch management
4.Go to Logistic General->Batch Management->Batch Det and back Chk->Condition table-> Define Inventory Management Condition table
4.2 . Like wise Define Acess Sequense,
4.3.Strategy Types,
4.4.batch Serch Procedure,
4.5.Batch Srech Procedure and allocation,
4.6..Condition Record: Logistic->Central Function->Batch Management-> Batch Determination->Batch serch Stratergy->For Inventory Manament-> Create
Once you do all customising steps,Then you can receive the material as per you requirement.Example....Lets say H2SO4,you are receiving 98%,70% and 50% purity.According to you requirement and supply from Vendor you can keep in three different batches.This characterstic of material you can maintain in creating the characterstic ,,step-1.

SUT Error at TO Creation from Non-SU to SU managed Storage type

Hi
I am creating TO to move quants from Non-SU Manged Storage type to SU managed Storage type, but at first its giving error saying Enter SUT for storage type. These Non-SU managed Storage types are not having SUT Check but SU Managed storage type is having SUT Check.
I tried to update WM view-2 with SUT and palletization but still issue exists.
I am having batch job for RLAUTA10 where TR is converted to TO but due to above issue , this batch job is getting failed.
I am deseperately trying to find the root cause and fix this asap. Let me know how this issue can be resolved??
Thanks

Like I mentioned earlier in my posts, SU's are typically not managed in interim storage types. Apparently, in this case, the PSA is an SU managed location and you are trying to move inventory from a non-SU ST to SU PSA ST. The isse that you are encountering is due to the reason that the palletization data maintained in the material master is defaulted during receipts rather than staging therefore, the SUT field in the TR remains blank. But, due to business reasons you are using SU's in PSA's then you'd have to venture into development options to include SU types during automatic converion of staging TRs into TOs.

Batch management & Handling unit management?

Dear Expert,
could you explain Batch management & Handling unit management?
thanks
saravanakumar.

<b>HU:</b>
The SAP HU is used for tracking the handling units used by the materials. Some common handling units are packagings materials like cartons, pallets etc.
In the SAP system, the handling unit (HU) expands on the shipping unit. Handling units can be nested and you can also create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like. At the material item level, HUs contain the complete material identification, the quantity, and, in the case of serial numbers, the respective object list. Handling units have unique,
scannable identification numbers that can be developed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
Handling units contain all inventory management information of the materials they contain that are maintained in Inventory Management. There are also status messages that you can call up at any time that indicate whether a handling unit is only planned or if the ship-to party has been notified of the arrival of this handling unit, or whether it is in the warehouse or has already been posted to goods issue. The integrated history function also records each business process in
the life cycle of each handling unit, meaning that you can track the handling units path and development at any time.
Refer to : Logistics -> Central Functions -> Handling Unit Management
In HU-managed storage locations, all goods movements are executed through the specification of the respective HUs, and Inventory Management is performed through the handling units. If you are working without HU-managed storage locations, you can work with handling units (without stock information) as before in the delivery and in the shipment.
In HU-managed storage locations, materials can be managed in HUs only. Mixed stock made up of packed and non-packed materials within the same storage location are not supported. HUs can also be managed in interim storage types. Unpacking a material from a HU means that the stock of the material is posted to a storage location that is not HU-managed.
If you call up normal material movements in connection with an HU-managed storage location, a delivery is created, rather than a direct material posting, which has been the procedure up to now.
Please note that if you want to use 311 to move the material already in stock, but in a non HUM Storage Location and you want to transfer those materials into a HUM Storage Location 304. If this is the case you can use the transaction VLMOVE with the destination plant and storage location. Before that you have to create the HU with the transaction code HU02 Storage location: where the material is and the status: in stock.
Handling units are unique at client level in at least one system. Using an indicator at client level, you can control whether you are going to work with the HU functions. Since the handling unit is a physical unit, the central logistics processes are controlled through the input of the handling unit identification. These processes include putaway, picking, and stock transfers, as well as goods receipts and goods issues.
A handling units mobility can be limited if quality checks are active. Changes in the stock category caused by a quality inspection are made using a posting change in the handling unit.
There is also a report available that you can use to find and display handling units using different selection criteria such as material, packing instruction, or storage location.
Although the handling unit is basically a unit that remains constant in the system, you can change it by repacking the materials it contains. All the packing functions, such as packing, repacking, and unpacking, are completely supported by the handling unit functionality. In this way, handling units can be created in production, during goods receipt, or in the packing areas of the warehouse. If you have automatic packing, the handling unit is created from the packaging proposals defined in the system (from the packing instructions, for example).

Batch:
In various industries particularly the process industry you have to work with homogenous partial quantities of a material or product throughout the logistics quantity and value chain.
There are various reasons for this:
Legal requirements (for example, the guidelines set out by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) or regulations on hazardous material
Defect tracing, callback activities, and regression requirement
The need for differentiated quantity-and value-based Inventory Management (for example, due to heterogeneous yield/result qualities or varying constituents in Production.
Differences in usage and the monitoring thereof in materials planning in SD and Production.
Production or procedural requirements (for example, settlement of material quantities on the basis of different batch specifications).

In backflushing, how to get batch determination for IM managed components.

Hello friends,
During confirmation, in Goods Movements screen, we get auto batch determination for WM managed components (based on their control cycle record). However, we are NOT getting auto batch determination for IM managed components.
We have created batch selection/sort, and search strategy for Orders as well as Inventory Management. We have also created condition records for the above IM managed components. But still auto batch determination does not take place.
Kindly help how to get auto batch determination of IM managed components during confirmation. Thanks.
- Chetan

Hi Tajuddin, Prashob,
I marked my query as "solved", but I need one clarification please:
OSPX is a pre-requisite config to OPJ2. In OSPX, we have selection for "sorting" by Item-Table, Price, & Quantity. Can you please briefly explain how these 3 sorting is supposed to work ? Thanks.

Batch management with Inventry management .

Hi dear all,
At the time of GR against Purchase Order , i want to copy characteristic in batch from a table .pls help me to map this requirement .
Regards
Prerna

A batch determination does not populate characteristic values, it just uses characteristic values that are available in your batch record.
the valuation of the batch characteristic is usually done when you create the batch during a goods receipt.
You have to have the batch classification (class 022 or 023) in your material master, from there it is copied and valuated when you create a batch for this material.

EWA on Non-ABAP System with Solution Manager EHP 1

Hi Experts,
We have recently updated our solution manager from SP Stack 16 to EHP1 (sp 18). we are now planning to set up EWA for non-abap components (EP 7.0). however, the only SAP note that i have been able to find is "976054 - Availability of EWA for Non ABAP components" but this is only limited up to SP 17. I have not been able to find any guides relating to EWA thru Solution Manager EHP1.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone can refer any documents or SAP notes that would enable setting up EWA for non-abap components thru Solution Manager EHP1.
We have also gone through the note 1332428, but we have'nt found it useful. We are still struggling to generate EWA report on Non-ABAP system.
Looking forward to your kind help.
Thanks and Regards,
Sarthak Syal

Hi Sarthak,
Good!!
Please do the following:
1) include the system in the Solution and scheduled the EWA session.Logical component should refer to the Non-ABAP System with no ABAP instance as relevant under the SID definition in SMSY-systems.
2) Is the Non -ABAP ( assuming its java) has the Software component defined and is mentioned as relevant under the SID with the component name and type.
3) Having said that SMD - Root cause Analysis functionality is configured-> check whether you are getting the Details for the Non-ABAP systems in the analysis Tabs of Root Cause Analysis.
This should be good to go. Wait for the session to get completed.
Thanks,
Jagan

Problem in mapping from import manager to Data manager

hi friend's....I got a problem while mapping the data from import manager to Data manager .The problem is the data in import manager (i.e source hierarchy) will map to single filed in data manager ( i.e target hierarchy)..
Help me it will be great full to me
Regards
Yugandhar

Hi Ana,
If you have a hierarchy in this format:
N1            N2                 N3
A              A1                 A11
A              A2                 A21
A              A3                 A31
B              B1                 B11
Then u have to follow these steps for import.
1. Select source file and destination hierarchy table at top of import manager.
2. Go to Partitions tab (Second tab) Just above the tabs, if u click on the plus sign against your source file, you will see N1, N2 and N3. Cick on N1 and in partition tab, add N2 to right side by double clicking on N2.
3. Now add N3 to right side by double clicking on it.
4. Go to field mapping (Third tab). There you will see a field N1(Partition). Map this field to yourhierarchy field on destination side.
5. In value mapping (Below the field mapping), Expand your source hierarchy. Select all (ctrl + A). Click on "Add" button. Select "Add Branch as child" option.
6. Go to Matching tab (Fourth tab). only one field will be there. take ity on the right side. and select the import action as "Create".
7. Go to last tab. Click on import button.
Your hierarchy has been imported. You can check it in data manager (in hierarchy mode).
Hope this solves your problem.
Regards,
Dheeraj.
