Tracking Box number of a batch

Dear Experts,
I am using PP-PI module of SAP .
I need to work for following.
Currently Batch number is of 15 kl size, which consists of total 300 Boxes of 5 kgs each.
And 20 such boxes are kept on one pallet. There for I have 15 pallets having 20 boxes in contineous serial number.
I need to offer these 15 pallets for inspection to QA.
While inspection qa can rejects any Pallet / Pallets out of above 15 Pallets.
I need to keep a record in system that, which pallets having with box numberes are cleared.
It is sort of creating records of sub-batches.
I am told that SAP ME can take care of it, And is freely available on SDN.
Can any one throw some light on this.
Regards
SCSharma

Hello SCSharma,
SAP-ME can handle this but it's not freely available, youy can download the demo version from SAP Service market place and use it for some limited period but then with correct licencing you have to purchase SAP ME.
SAP ME can handle packing of 20 Boxes in one pallet. Also with some router script and custom data for packing container you can handle the OQC(out going quality check as well).
Please refer the SAP-ME help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_me52/helpdata/EN/sap_me_index.htm
Also you can download SAP ME installation guide and do the installation part.
Once you have SAP-ME then you can ask regarding the configuration part.

Tracking Boxes

Hello SAP Experts,
My Client has a unique requirement, they want to track Box numbers. They receive the materials in boxes and then same boxes are kept in the store.
Moreover, client wants to issue the materials box wise and not on the basis of Base Unit of Measurement. They do not even have the correct number of pieces which supplier can send in one box and this may vary from time to time.
Is there any standard way of capturing this requirement.
We do not have Handling Unit Management (as no Packing or repacking or removing the packaging done in store) and no WM.
All the stock is inventory managed.
Reply is awaited.

Hello,
Implementing Handling Unit Management would involve lot of extra transactions and material is not packed or repacked within the Store. They simply use transaction code MIGO to receive goods and after HUM implementation the process would start with inbound delivery. This is not what the want.
'Track box number' means if we have 100 pieces in one box and production people ask for 270 pieces, then they issue 3 boxes (300 pieces) and after consuming 270, they will return 30 pieces in the same box and then this box is issued back to the store.
I like the idea of using batch management, but can we put the box numbers in any field apart from characteristics. And if we use characteristics, then this would not show in any standard stock report.
Your reply would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Batch Number with Box number

Hello SAP Experts,
My Client has a unique requirement, they want system to track Batch number with Box number.
For Example if Batch number for incomming material is 123456, and if the entire quantity comes in 3 boxes, then the system should track the quantity as 123456/1 , 123456/2 and 123456/3.
Moreover, client wants to issue the materials box wise.
Is there any standard way of capturing this requirement.
Reply is awaited.

Hello,
Is there any way, by which I can assign Internal number ranges to the Batches in this scenario.
I have also tried to explore Handling unit management but in that case also we need to pack the material inside, but in my client's scenario they get the box from vendor and store it as it is.
Looking for positive solution.

Every Shipping point has corresponding number range for the HU box number?

Hi,
Every Shipping point has corresponding number range for the HU box number assignment?
For example, we are doing packing, then a Handling Unit number has been generated. So where to define this number range of the HU number??
Is it from the SPRO or controled by programs.
Thanks.

A handling unit is a physical unit that consists of the packaging materials (load carrier / packaging material) and the goods contained therein. A handling unit is always a combination of materials and packaging materials. All the information contained in the material items, such as batches and serial numbers, is always available by way of the handling units.
Handling units can be nested, meaning that you can also create new handling units from several handling units as often as you like.
Handling units have unique, scannable identification numbers that can be formed according to standards such as EAN 128 or SSCC.
Figure 1: Handling unit example
Structure
The handling unit object contains the following attributes:
     Identification number
     Dimensions
     Weight
     Volume
     Status
     Materials and quantities
     Packaging materials
     Packing instructions
A handling unit consists of a handling unit header and handling unit items. For identification purposes, it is given a unique number.
Handling unit header
The header data of a handling unit is divided in the following way:
     Weight/Volume/Dimensions
     General data
     Means-of-transport data
     Additional data
     Output determination procedure
For more information about each of these detailed points, see Editing detailed data for handling units.
Status
The handling unit is linked to general status management. In this way, the various physical states (planned or implemented) and other attributes (weighed, loaded, blocked or posted goods issue) of handling units can be documented.
You can use the HU_ST_INIT user parameter when you create handling units without object reference to set which initial status the handling unit is to have when it is created.
If you want to implement a status of your own, you can define a user-specific procedure for the packaging material type (see also Define Packaging Material Types).
Handling unit item
The items of a handling unit can consist of material items, packaging materials or other handling units that appear in an overview. For more information about this overview, see the Contents section of Editing detailed data for handling units.
To access the item data of an individual handling unit, select the handling unit concerned and choose Goto  Detailed HU data  Contents.
Integration
Handling units can be used in all processes within the supply chain.

how do i track the number of messages sent? i am on a limited sms plan so i want to know how many messages was i able to send in a month. is there an (free) app for it??

Doubtful unless your carrier has an app that includes the option.
My carrier has an app that I can check current usage and past usage with a previous bill and pay the bill.

How Vendor Number appears in Batch

In table MCH1 there is a field LIFNR (Vendor account number) which is populated for some batches and not for others. All of these are purchased items from a vendor. Is there some customizing needed to get the vendor number to always appear in the Batch information? Anything else to do besides manual procedure? We need it to be automatic in our company.
Thank you

Suppose I have placed a Purchase Order for 'X' Material for 500 qty. At the time of GRN system generates one batch number for this 500 qty. let us say batch B1 is generated by the system. But my requirement is I have to maintain uniqueness in this batch for every quantity. this uniqueness like B1-1, B1-2, B1-3, B1-4 ..........................B1-500. So that they can trace which material is in which placce and to whom we have sold out. How to maintain this scenario in batch management.
Please don't suggest "use serial number for this scenario". This is not acceptable for my scenario.
You should use serial number management. There's no point in speaking about batch if you give batch number for each pc of your material.
If you want to give a unique ID for each piece of your material, your "batch" is called serial number...
batch - Longman dictionary:
quantity of food, medicine etc that is produced or prepared at the same time
batch - SAP glossary:
Subset of the total quantity of a material held in stock, which is managed separately from other subsets of the same material.
Examples: different production lots (such as paints, dyes, wallpapers, and pharmaceutical products), delivery lots, quality grades of a material.
serial number - Longman dictionary
a number put on things that are produced in large quantities, so that each one has its own different number:
serial number - SAP glossary
Number that you give to an individual item of material in addition to the material number, in order to differentiate that individual item from all the other items of the material.
The combination of material and serial number is unique.
So, I think you should give the reason why you don't want to use SAP standard solution...and you should justify your requirement because you seem to be against the meaning of batch & serial number....

Track the changes to the batch jobs in the PRD system.

Hello Basis Guru's,
Need your help in a Query. --> Is there any best practice that can be implemented to trace all the changes done to batch jobs in the past 3 months and going forward. Be it in its scheduling or its variant changes etc, i would like to track the changes to the batch jobs in the PRD system.
Any pointers would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
Sri

Hello Raghu,
Third party tools can only help you but not SAP. . A lot of us may think that for example if a Job 'X' runs daily then SAP considers this job as a single object.However actually SAP will treat each run of a job seperately infact as seperate jobs. If you would have noticed each job in SAP has a job id which is unique. So actually each run is unique. Now change logs can exist for only those objects that get changed. But change logs can not exist for objects that are newly created everytime !!
If you would have noticed you can two jobs with the name A but running two different reports/variants whatver. This is because job name is not that important it is the job id.
Every time a job runs a new entry gets stored in TBTCO,TBTCP etc.. tables. It is not that the existing entires are updated.However yes when a job is scheduled periodically there is some kind of a link that is created in the job series but it does not showo up in any of the tables!!
As far as 3rd party tool is concerned I can name a tool like UC4. UC4 has its own database in which the job name will always be unique. For that you can easily find change logs. I think Chronicle (Redwood Scheduler) also supports this.
Regards.
Ruchit.

Enter batch number - No Automatic Batch Number assignment allowed for plant

Hi SAP Gurus,
Upon checking the created new Goods receipt for Purchasing Order in tcode migo_gr, checking with the Batch tab, we can't see a batch number, then clicking the classification tab showing the message Enter batch number - No Automatic Batch Number assignment allowed for plant - XXXX
the question is there any missing configuration based for this kind of error? ive checked the availability check for the plant and it already setup. Hope for your kind responses.
Thanks

HI,
Kindy check the below configuratoin
Logistics - General>Batch Management>Creation of New Batches>Define Batch Creation for Goods Movements
for your movement type check what is the Strategy for the new batches.
here you should assigne only automatic.
Also let me know what is the level of batch mgt> is it at client level, Plant level, Material level.?

Grey boxed number at bottom of Keynote slide

Hi All,
Try as I may, I can't stop a grey boxed number appearing on my Keynote presentations on both my iMac (intel) and iBook (ppc). It appears after a minute or so of inactivity (usually when my students are reading that part of the screen!). There must be a setting to (dis)enable it, but it's beaten me up to now.
Phil

You're right. I tried a file under another username and it didn't occur. FYI - this is what it looks like - it appears after about 60 secs http://is.gd/2t54f

Serial number assignment to batch split position in outbound delivery

Hello All,
I have a question for which I can't find any answer even though I have been struggling through several forums, etc. Let me explain it:
I create a outbound delivery for material XYZ which is batch managed and serial number managed. An automatic batch determination takes place. Thus a batch split is created for the main item 10. Since the serial number is required, I enter the serial number for the batch split position 900001. Press enter and save.
The problem is, that afterwards the batch split positions aren't shown in the Batch split screen using transaction VL02N (the batch split positions and also the serial number can be displayed via VL03N). The issue is that the serial number entered cannot be removed nor the batch split can be changed anymore.
Message VL429: Batch/Val.type split only possible if no serial numbers are maintained.
It seems to be a standard SAP functionality, but a little bit tricky. Can anybody help me?
1. How can I remove the serial number assignment for a batch split position?
2. Is there any customizing setting with which I could perhaps deactivate the check?
Thanks a lot in advance. Any input is appreciatted!

Hi,
issue has been solved at last. The batch split indicator can be used to display the batch structure of an item. And here the serial number can be removed as well.

Number range for Batch - urgent help

Dear Champs,
We need to have internal number range for batches for one plant and external number range for other plant. How & Where to assign number range for plants ?
Kindly suggest
Thanks
Rajesh

Mr Rajesh
You can maintain num range internal and external independently with out any customization or development if you run batch management PLANT level.
Where plant level batch mgmt., the batch number is only known in the plant in which it was created if the stock is transferred to another plant, the batch is unknown in the recipient plant and the system does not adopt any data
And you can define independent number range for each plant.
If planned at client level need to customize using the userexits avaliable.

USB Superdrive issues with tracks beyond number 20

I bought an USB Superdrive for my Retina iMac. Now i can't transfer tracks beyond number 20 in to my iTunes. Let me explain, tracks 1 to 19 seems to transfer properly till it arrives to track number 20 then the transfer-procedure stops. I've tried with two CD and experienced the same problem. Not only the transfer to my iTunes is impossible, it is also impossible to play tracks. The CD's are fitness-CD if this matters to find the problem.
Does someone has an idea, what this could be? Thanks for helping out!

I want to change serial number in the Batch report and in the special UUT report

I use Batch Model, sequential mode.
I want to change serial number in the Batch report and I want to change UUT serial number in each TestSocket report.
I overrided ModifyReportHeader, I did
Parameters.UUT.SerialNumber = "....."
but the serial number changed only in the Batch Report, not in UUT Report. How can I change serial number in UUT Report too?

Marta,
There is actually a ModifyBatchReportHeader in addition to the ModifyReportHeader that you already used. That would be the first thing to do.
After that, I think I need a more detailed description of what you are trying to do (perhaps with screenshots) in order to be able to help effectively.
