To understand Batch Management configuration behavior

Hi all,
I'm attempting to activate and configure batch management and I encounter several system behavior within SPRO.
1. Under logistics General -> Batch Management -> Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management, I get the following menu items: Batch level, Batch status management, Plants with batch status management. To start off with, I proceed to Batch level and select Batch unique at plant level and save. Next thing I know, the menu item Batch status management becomes inactive mode, hence unable to access this function to activate the batch management. When I return to menu item Batch level and change Batch unique at material level and save, the menu item for Batch status management returns to active mode.
Question: Is there an explanation for such behavior? If the menu item for batch status management becomes inactive mode each time I select the Batch unique at plant level, how do I activate Batch Management in SAP system?
2. I understand there's another configuration under logistics General -> Batch Management -> Batch Valuation -> Update Standard Characteristics is required to be performed. When I execute this configuration, the prompt says: "Do you want the standard features in batch management to be updated?". I clicked yes and there's a background job running for a while. Once the job finishes, the log shows a couple of errors or failures.
Question: Am I doing things right?
Thanks.

I am getting ready to active Batch status management on our client. I do not need to change our Batch Level, but in reading, my understanding is that the first thing you need to do after changing the batch level in SPRO is to run the Batch Level -> conversion routine, that is in the same menu. Once that is done, I'm guessing that the ability to activate the status management will again be available.
Once you active the batch status management, you need to run the Batch status management -> conversion routine for it to take effect.

Batch Management Configuration

Hi,
While configuring the Batch Management through Transaction u2013 OMCT.
First at Batch Level, selected the radio button as Material Level and Saved but Request is not created.
Second at Batch Status Management, selected radio button as Batch Status Management active and saved but the Request is not created.
We would like to know is Batch Management activation is Client specific?
Batch Level field is disabled and we are not able to see the settings.
Request is created only when the activated when Plant with Batch Status Management.
Need suggestions on this please.

Activation of Batch Status Management is not transported and needs to be set
up in each environment separately. As it is one time job in general and is a
sensitive functionality, it will not be transported. In my previous
implementation, the manual config is opened to mark this status.

Hi,
Follow the steps:
1.Field---VFDAT and table-MCHA should be created as a charecter in CT04 and assigned to a class in CL02N.
2.create MM01 and add the class to it in classification view.
3.In mm01 plt storage1 view give data for remainning shelf life and total shelf life and in purchasing view activate batch management.
4.OMJ5- activate SLED for your plant and mvt type 201.
5.opj2- set BD for your plant.
6.create sort sequence in cu70 and assign your charecteristic value to it.
7.create batch serch strategy in MBC1 for access sequence(plt/matrl/mvt typ) create a condition record.
8.Do a GR using 501 and enter SLED related details.(production date and exp date values)
Repeat the above step and enter diffrent values for SLED details.
So now two batches are created with SLED as the charecteristic.
9.Do a GI using 201 mvt tye in MB1A and enter * in batch field(system will determine the batch using the SLED value basedon the criteria(ascending or descending which was set in the sort rule.)

Spilt valuation with batch management?

Gurus,
I want to activate split valuation with batch management..
i know the configuration of doing split valuation..
but, i need help on batch management configuration...

hi,
Why do you want both at the same time??
Either split val. or batch management independently can solve your issues...
Please let me know the reason...
For split valuation :
To select split valuation ('OMWC'), proceed as follows:
1. Determine the valuation categories and valuation types that are allowed for all valuation areas:
global valuation categories via menu "Goto --> Global Categories"
global valuation types via menu "Goto --> Global Types"
2. Allocate the valuation types to the valuation categories.
a) Select "Goto --> Global Categories".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation category and select
"Goto --> Global Categories --> Assignments --> 'Types->Category'".
c) Activate the valuation types you want.
3. Determine the local valuation categories for each valuation area.
a) Select "Goto --> Local definitions".
b) Position the cursor on a valuation area and select
"Goto --> Local Definitions --> Allocate Categoires->Org.units (button Cats->(OU)".
You obtain a list of the global valuation categories.
c) Activate the categories to be used in this valuation area.
The system creates the local valuation types based on the allocations under point 2.
Only now can you create a master record with split valuation.
Specifying Split Valuation by creating Material Subject to Split Valuation
1. Create a material master record, selecting the Accounting View 1.
2. Enter your data as required on the Accounting data screen, specifying a valuation category.
(If you can't find the valuation category field, it might be hidden, use OMSR to define the Field Groups.
Look for the field MBEW-BWTTY for Valuation category).
3. Be sure that the price control indicator is V for moving average price and enter a moving average price.
4. In the case of split valuation, you can create only one valuation header record with price control V because the
individual stock values are cumulated, and this total value is written to the valuation header record. This is where the
individual stocks of a material are managed cumulatively. To do this, fill in the Valuation category field on the accounting
screen when you create the material master record and leave the Valuation type field blank.
5. Save your data and the system creates the valuation header record.
6. The initial screen appears.
7. Extend the material by creating new material master records from the Accounting view 1. For the first material, specify a
valuation type in the Organizational Levels dialog box and enter the respective accounting data on the data screen.
Proceed likewise for the other materials, distinguishing between them by valuation type. To do this, call up the material in
creation mode again. Due to the fact that a valuation header record exists, the system requires you to enter a valuation
type for the valuation category.
8. Repeat step seven for every valuation type planned.
You want to valuate the stock of material XYZ that you obtain from manufacturer A in Los Angeles at a different price than the stock you obtain from manufacturer B in Detroit. In this case, the valuation category is H for origin. Your valuation types can be LOS ANGELES and DETROIT.
If a material is subject to split valuation, every quantity (sub-stock) of this material must be assigned to a valuation type (for example, country of origin).
For every valuation type, there are two types of data in the system, as follows:
Valuation data (for example, valuation price, total stock quantity, total stock value), which is defined for every valuation type at valuation-area level and applies to all dependent storage locations.
Stock data, which, like batch data, is managed separately for each storage location. If a material that is subject to split valuation is also subject to management in batches, its stock data is not managed by valuation type, but rather by batch. Every batch is assigned to a valuation type.
The stock quantity, stock value, and valuation price for all valuation types are managed cumulatively at valuation-area level

How to configure quality process with batch management.

Dear Friends,
we have a scenario,our client receive goods with 101movement type into quality inspection stock.
once stock is passed quality check stock,then we will take into unrestricted stock with 321 movement type.
failed in quality test will be rejected.please give me suggestion how to map the scenario.while i am testing
the process in my sandbox,its asking batch number.its not allowing me to post unrestricted stock with 321
movement type.how to make batch as optional in this scenario?if batch is mainted for the material,how to
configure the process.we are not using QM module.
please suggest me.
Regards,
Varun

In Batch management config in Logistic general, Check for the movement type 101 & 321 whether batch creation has been activated to Manual, Automatic, or no creation. In your case it looks like for mvt 321 batch creation is set to manual & for 101 no creation.
if batch creation is set to manual, enter a manual batch no & proceed.
But to cross verify wheter 101 has generated batch or not please check the stocks in MMBE.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Mithun

What is difference between material maintainance through varient configuration & Batch management.
Is it possible to maintain material by above options.

Nitin Patil.

hi
Varient configuration & batch management are have diffrent use
Varient configuration is use for the material with diffrent properties like CARS
material is same but only due to the color the selling price will differ
likewise to keep single material with diff charecteristics Varient configuration will be used

With batch handling, you can manage not only production lots from in-house production, but also production lots from vendors as separate entities.

Batch Management

Dear Sap Gurus,
I had sucessfullly configured Batch Management.But i am unable to understand process , how batch is allocated in sale order.
According to my understanding:
1. creste charachteristic and assign the chts to class.
2. assign class to material master, and batch is activated in all area.
3.sort sequence is assigned to chts.
4.batch search strategy is assigned with strategy type.
strategy type is assigned with access sequence and acc seq is assigned with table and fields.
sort rule is defined here.maintain the condition record
I would like to know the process flow how the system will determine the batch management?
kindly explain the process how it works.

Batch Management in CRM 2007 Service Transactions

Dear SAP colleagues,
I am dealing with a CRM 2007 Service project, and there is a question that has been in my mind for a while.
As far as I know, it is possible to manage product batches in CRM Sales. In fact, the field is standard delivered, and there are a couple of BADIs in SPRO, under Sales Transactions. But when talking about CRM Service, I can`t find any documentation about batch management anywhere, nor the possibility of configuring the functionality.
May anybody give me some light about this issue please?
Thanks in advance.
Pablo RM

Hi Rupesh,
thank you very much for your answer, but shall I understand that batch must be specified in ECC and cannot be recorded in CRM (in stardad logic)?
Let me explain you a bit more about our needs: we have products with batch numbers that can only be repaired with spare parts with same batch number, since they come from the same manufacturing batch. When defective products arrive to be repaired (we will use In-house repair orders to cope with this) and their batch numbers are identified, there should be an availability check of the spare parts needed considering their batches, just the same way as it is done in CRM Sales for products. As you say, once it has been released, the reservation is made in ECC.
I suposse that there's no solution but a custom development.
Well, thank you again and good bye.
Pablo

How to deactivate batch management at material master?

Dear Sir/Madam,
At the configuration,I have set "Batch Management" to be activated in plant level. I have a problem which some of the plants do not use batch management.I understand that if you tick "Batch Management" field in material master, batch management is activated for the material in that plant.
1. How do prevent user to tick "Batch Management" field in the material master which appears in the following views (depending on the material types):?
- Sales: General/Plant
- Purchasing
- Plant data/Stor.1
- Work Scheduling
2. Is there any alternate way to prevent user to activate "Batch Management" in that material of their own plant despite it is activated at plant level in the configuration?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Rgds,
Esther Chong

batch status management is just what its name says, you manage your batches with status (unreastricted use, restricted use).
But his comes only into place after you have activated batch managment, it is not causing batch managment, it is only working with batch managment.
Removing batch managment is almost impossible, you have to archive all batches first, to be able to archive the batches, you have to archive the production orders...creation of a new material is in most cases easier and quicker.
Wit batch managment at plant level each plant can independently decide if a material is batch managed or not.
if you want to restrict the entry of the batch management flag, then you have to customize your material master field selection at plant level.

Material classification and batch management

Hello all,
we have to urgently incorporate a subcontracting process at a semiconductor manufacturing client. They also want to incorporate batch management for 541 and 543 movements. I understand that classification will have to be maintained for the materials first and also related configuration for batch management for movement types.
Can anyone point me to the sequence of steps necessary to make this possible.
Many thanks
satya

u need not worry about charc. in release strategy as btch char. and release strategy cchar,. are completly 2 diffrent things
and yes u must make use of class type 023
and the tcode for generating the condition record for the batch management is MBC1 (u must create a reord if u want that ur batch strategy should work properly)

Cost(vprs) of free goods with batch managment

Dear Gurus,
I have a problem ahout free goods with batch management.
Cost(VPRS) is not accumulated in billing(free goods is not relevant for billing).
My configurations are shown as below:
Ordered goods (and batch) item category :zta1(copied from tan)
Free goods (and batch) item category :zann (copied from tann) pricing:B ;not relevant for billing;dermination cost:X
copy control(from delivery to billing):
ztan: accumulation cost :X
If I use the material without batch management,Cost of free goods(without batch) is accumulated to main item(ordered goods).
So, what can I do?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Lykin Kan

Hi,
These notes are useful:
SAP Note 1365939 - VPRS logic and Customizing settings in SD
SAP Note 547570 - FAQ: VPRS in pricing
If you have the problem in the transfer from SD conditions to CO-PA, check if you transfer only invoices to COPA, if you don't invoice the deliveries of free goods, then you don't transfer this 'sales' or costs of 'gifts' to COPA. You can check the customizing of COPA in tcode ORKE (IMG for COPA). SAP Note 74486 - INFO: Overview of consulting notes for CO-PA is a good summary about this issue.
I hope this helps you
Regards,
Eduardo
