Stock to Stock Transfer (Changing Batch Number)

Occasionally we need to "correct" a batch number. Most often because the user let the system assign an auto Batch Number instead of using our site procedure to create a "Smart" Batch Number (i.e. MMYYYYXXXXX). We correct this by executing the MIGO Transfer Posting, Other, Movement Code 301. This works for us, but is there some display screen that could be transacted, and them printed so it could be included in our Batch History Files? This print out would need to show the "OLD" and "NEW" Batch Numbers.

I m just wondering if this approach is a good one. or just a waste of time and resources.
The problem starts with the fact that the user do not follow your procedures to assign "smart batch numbers" . And you want the same users to take a screenshot and attach it to some file.
Will this really work or just create another gap to be monitored?
Like for goods receipts and goods issues you can well have a material document printed for transfer postings. But I consider this as well as waste of environment since it has no more info than you have anyway in your system and you can find this evidence with MB51 whenever you want.
MB56 Batch where used list should also be able to display the transition from one batch to another.
I also wonder why you are using 301 movement, this is called plant to plant, I tend to use simple movements where the users have not many options to do something wrong, hence I would do the batch to batch movement with 311.
And last but not least I would use the user exits for batch number creation to create this smart number automatically instead of manually, further it will ensure that you do not get any other internal batch numbers if the user forgets about your process

Can we change batch number to any unrestricted stock

Hi experts,
while confirming production order of Finished good, material batch number is mistyped by pp person. qm person also blindly passed the material in the system. stock was posted to sales location as unrestricted stock,which is ready for sale. Is there any way to assign the correct batch number to the unrestricted stock, or to correct the mistyped batch number? pls.revert.

Hi,
Another way (this is a quick fix way, and you will have to see that this does not break anything elsewhere in the system) for to do this is create the batch using MSC1N, and transfer the stock from the incorrect bacth to this new batch. You can use 311 (use the same source and receiving Sloc, just change the batches) or also 309 (again, use the same material number, different batches). The reference will be available in the MB51 list. Please check if there are any Z reports that pick the bacth number from the Order table, becuase this will refer to the incorrect batch only.
I would recommend that you refer this first to your FI and CO person to see that there are not detrimental effects. If the material is on Standard price this should not be a problem.
Hope this helps.

Stock transfer of QM stock thereby creating a new batch number

Dear Experts,
I have searched for this content but didn't get content which match my requirement.
My client has placed a requirement.When they receive a material against a purchase order through movement type 101 they receive it to quality inspection stock.After quality inspection this material is taken to unrestricted area through movement type 321.
Now after this material comes to unrestricted area,this material is again subject to quality inspection.Quality testing is done after a particular period.
Next quality testing date is calculated based on this formula:-321 movement type posting date + quality inspection interval days maintained in material master.
i.e:-If for a material 321 movement type is 16th July 2014 & if quality inspection interval days for that material is maintained as 365 days then next quality inspection of that material will be after a year.
Now client has placed a requirement when this material comes to quality testing,15 days prior to quality testing this material should move to quality inspection area from the present unrestricted area thereby generating new batch number for that material.
This changes the client will view in MMBE.
Gurus Please help as I'm new to QM.
Kind regards,
Pradeesh.P

Hi,
This is not possible,you cannot generate a new batch number through recurring inspection.
If you require a new batch number then during stock posting in UD you post it to new material,in your
case this will be the same materiaal and you give new batch number.
In this way a batch material has come for inspection and after inspecting it you are changing the
batch number of the material.

Hi,
In your case the stock is in stock in transit. You cannot change the batch number from A to B. It gives effect as A batch as negative and B batch as positive. Better do transfer posting from batch to batch in 309 after STO. Thanking you.

Below is the code i have implemented in the exit
clear v_vbeln.
select single vbeln into v_vbeln
   from likp
select * from likp
    where vbeln = i_mkpf-le_vbeln
    and   vstel = c_vstel

If any body has implemented same functionality kindly help.

Koustubh

Hi,
In the BADI LE_SHP_GOODSMOVEMENT, inside method CHANGE_INPUT_HEADER_AND_ITEMS, loop the parameter CT_XIMSEG.
For each line in CT_XIMSEG, change the value of CT_XIMSEG-CHARG according to you logic and modify the internal table CT_XIMSEG transporting the valude of CHARG.
Check whether now it is getting updated in MSEG.

Batch Number range

Dear Experts,
I need to know the best practice to set the number range .. Note that the industry that I'm working in it is railways Not chemical .. for example some one told me to create it like this :
091101vert
09 : Year
11 : Month
01 : Day
vert : the first four letters from the vendor
By this way when the stock keeper looks at the batch number -which should be printed on a label and stick to the material - so he knows when did he receive this material and from whom
But I think that we may face problems if i use this way for example there are obsolete stock from year 1909 so "09" will make confusion between 2009 and 1909 ..
Problem number two is the organization have more than 5000 vendor so maybe there is some one called Vertix and another called Vertany and both share the first four letters Vert
Note1: Is there is any way to create the batch number in this way "091101vert" automatic with out user interaction
Note2 : I'm Not In using normal numbering
Please Advice
Thanks in Advanced

Dear Appie Dee .. thanks a lot for your quick response .. But lets consider this scenario :
Material : X01
Vendor 1 : Vertix
Vendor 2 : Vertiany
Batch1 : 090211Vert
Batch2 : 090415Vert
Note : Onthe syste it is very easy to know Batch number 1or 2 is from which vendor .. but i wanted the stock keeper to know by the look to the label if he is away from the system "which vendor delivered this batch"
Problem number 3 I didn't mention it in the first is : What if I'm going to receive the same material from the same vendor in the same GR date but in two batches because the production date differs from batch one to batch two .. and the batch is in the material level
Please Advice

Vendor batch number in stock transfer

Hi,
Batch management at plant level.
When we transfer the stock from one plant to another plant, the vendor batch number is not getting updated in the receiving batch master record.
In 303,we will send it from one plant to another plant (Stock in transit).
In 305,we will receive it to another plant with different batch number.
How do we know this 305 has been done for 303?
Eg:
303
Material : A
Plant:Phar1
Batch 100
305
Material: A
Plant:Phar2
Batch :200
How do we trace the stock in case we need to resend back to the supplier?
Thanks
Srini

You are facing a classic problem. Given Batch number is unique at Plant level, to maintain the continuity, you should have the same batch number between the two plants. Any specific reason why you don't have it.
Then if there is valid case not to have the same batch number in this scenario, then you should look at making the batch number generation external so that you can prefix/suffix or come up with a way to get the original batch number from the sending plant in the receiving plant batch number.
Recently we had a similar requirement, so we activated batch classifiction and put the orignial batch number as one of the characterisitcs in the batch class. You can also think enabling such functionality..

Problem about sales order stock stock transfer and batch determination

Hi, experts, I get a problem about sales order stock stock transfer and batch determination.The following is the current situation of my system:
In OMCG I assigned search procedure ME0001 to both 311 and 311 E and ticked check batch. After that, I found that if iI need to tranfer unrestricted-use material from storage location 1000 to 2000 with movement type 311, I just need to input * at the field batch, then the system will display all of the available batches. But for the transferring of sales order stock with movement type 311 E, after I input * at the batch field, no batch is displayed and there is also no message from the system.
Can anybody help me? Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks very much.

I think my question is not clear, actually I tried 562 E , 411 E and 413 already. all the transaction looking for the sales order but unfortunatly the sales order is deleted from SAP.

Inventory Tracking / Stock Posting cannot change batch quantity

Anybody knows how to fix this batch quantity, through Inventory Tracking / Stock Posting ?
Since I try it, it couldn't work.

Stock transfer between Batch and Non Batch managed Plants

Hi
Plant A is Batch Managed and Plant B is not batch managed.
When I do STO, I want the Batch data from Plant A to be stored in some custom tables (when Inbound delivery is received in Plant B) as it is required for any recall and outbound purposes.
Batch level is unique at Plant level.
Please advise how can I go through the above scenario.
Thanks
Prabhakar

Hi Prabhakar
In STO, the supplying plant is the vendor (batch managed).
So, you may workout for an enhancement to fetch the supplying plant's batch number on to the vendor batch (Field: LICHA) during Goods receipt.
However, incase multiple batches, you should look for lines items in goods receipt.

Change of batch number

dear all,
by any chance can i change the batch number once material doc is posted and material is already there in stock with X batch number.
i dont want to cancel the material document.
please advice..
regards,

Hi,
Create the new batch first through MSC1N for material, plant & sloc combination.
Then you can transfer the stock from existing X Batch to new Y Batch through 309 or 311 movement type.
Enter the receiving batch as the new Y batch. & the existing batch as X.
