Hi,
If you are going to create a blank database it means you have to entered all the basic requirements again.If you want to copy the masters then there are two tools in sap b1 .
1)copy express
2)if you are working with 8.81or 8.8 version then you can use new from package facility at login screen.
Note: If you want same batch numbers against inventory then use the DTW tool.

What are the Pros and Cons of Using Batch Numbers over Serialization

Dear SAP Gurus:
Will someone please give me the benefits of using Batch Management over serial numbers in this case scenerio, or vice versa:
Client wants to trace all the components of an assembly in a BOM. Even the Raw material. The client sends the material out today and has the vendor assign serial numbers to the individual pieces, the client gives the range of serial numbers to use. We are looking at using batch numbers to accomplish this and issue one material and batch number to a production order. Then use MB56 batch where used functionality to view history. I am wanting to understand the benefits of this. Please advise and points will be awarded as always.
Also, in this scenerio, can you issue multiple material/batch numbers to one vendor op that has its own production order?

Yes it is a subcontract.
Example: This is the solution but need the pros and cons of doing this scenerio
Sheet of metal sent to vendor to make lets say 1800 peices of material number nas5703-01. All 1800 pieces come back and issued to a production work order using one bacth number for one material item so that batch number can be traced in history in MB56 and a fit up report.

Batch numbering

Hi
Batch management there are 3 internal number ranges and 1 external number range.
How system will automatically pick up the number range during batch creation (GR or release of prod.orders)?
If i create one more internal /External number range - how system will verify and create new batch with new number range?
Can you please through some lights on this....
Thanks

Configure Customer Exits for Intern. Batch Number Assignment
You can use SAP enhancement SAPLV01Z for internal batch number assignment. This enhancement contains two function module exits that you can use to define number ranges or templates for batch numbers:
EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001. You use this exit to replace the number range object and/or interval proposed by the system with your own number range object and/or interval.
In addition, you can, for instance, stop the system from assigning an internal number depending on the material or plant. You can also use this exit to stop the dialog box from appearing.
EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002. Using this exit, you can either change the number assigned by the system, or assign your own number.
Further notes
Both exits contain a communication structure with application data from the respective business transaction (plant or material type, for example). If you need further information, such as the time, the user name or the date, you must include them yourself in one of the exits.
The system always checks whether the assigned batch number already exists in the system. If it does, it terminates the function without assigning a batch number.
Example:
In function module exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001, the system uses the material type to determine number range interval XY. This number range is then used to determine number 0000100123 as the next batch number .
In function module exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002, the final batch number 'ABCD100123' is determined from batch number 0000100123 and plant ABCD. The system suppresses the leading zeros.
If you do not use a sequential counter for the batch number, you can skip internal number assignment in exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001 to specify your own batch number in exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002. Further information and examples for EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001 and EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002 Further information and examples for EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002

Sales Analysis Report for Batch Numbers

I am currently having an issue with Batch numbers and sales analysis report item wise. If the goods are delivered it does not show the quantity in the report. is there a way to make the quantites show. Open delivery notes show the quantity in the report. Could the reason be that once the delivery note is closed the quantity does not show in the report.????

Dear Mr Shah,
If I understood correctly, you are saying that there is no issue in adding the document with the batch but it is not shown in the Sales Analysis report?
The Sales Analysis report does not show information regarding the quantity because it focuses on the value of the document.
In order to have an overview on the trasactions related to the batches please use the Batch Number Transaction Report under Inventory - Inventory report.

Finding Tables needed for linking Batch Numbers/Items to Invoice Items

I'm trying to create a report that will show basically a Sales Invoice and under each line Item show the Items with thier batch numbers that went into that sales Item. My difficulty is in finding the table or tables that have key fields to relate Invoice to Batches and inventory. Looking at forms/reports in B1 I have found RBTN OBTN and RITL tables but only the OBTN shows in the crystal as a datatable.

Jon,
You should have better luck posting in one of the [Business One forums|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1#44].

Need tables for tracking Invoice Items back to the Batch Numbers/Item codes

Trying to build report to show the Inventory movement from a Sales Invoice Item back to the source items and the Batch Numbers for assigned along the way. Having problems finding all the tables to connect the Batch information to the Invoice information.
In B1 under batch management I can see fields that belong to tables RBTN, RITL and OBTN but I can only find OBTN in Crystal.
Are these tables hidden for some reason or are they Temporary tables that B1 creates when opening the form/report.

OK. Unfortunately reservations cannot be created at the serial number level. So the unsupported way of doing this is updating the mtl_serial_numbers tables. I hope you would know (by some means) which serial numbers you want to allocate to a specific sales orders. If you know, update group_mark_id column in mtl_serial_numbers table with your order_line_Id, This will avoid any one from picking the serial numbers (they will not come up in the LOV or will not be auto allocated).
But you have to make sure to take it off when you actually want to pick this order line and allocate this serial number. So just before you pick release/ confirm this order line you need to update column back to null so that you can allocate that serial number.

Leading zeros in batch numbers

Is it possible to have leading zeros in batch numbers, meaning that batch 123 is different than batch 0123?

In the standard, number range 01 from 0000000001 to 9999999999 has been defined for number range object BATCH_CLT.
You can use SAP enhancement SAPLV01Z for internal batch number assignment. This enhancement contains two function module exits that you can use to define number ranges or templates for batch numbers:
1.
In function module exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001, the system uses the material type to determine number range interval XY. This number range is then used to determine number 0000100123 as the next batch number .
2.
In function module exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002, the final batch number 'ABCD100123' is determined from batch number 0000100123 and plant ABCD. The system suppresses the leading zeros.
If you do not use a sequential counter for the batch number, you can skip internal number assignment in exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001 to specify your own batch number in exit EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002.

Serial/batch numbers Problem

Hi All,
I am trying to Genetate a goods receipt through Code .
when i m trying to generate it gives me error like
You should use existing serial/batch numbers for this document type
But i have to create new serial/batch
so what can i do over here.
Hari

Hi Hari,
In 2007 version, there is a change in SystemSerialNumber Property
When you set this property (SystemSerial Number)it means that you want
to use an existing serial number
If the system serial number does not exist, any action will fail.
When you do not set this properyt (empty) it means that you want to
create a new serial number
You cannot provide a system number of your choice to create a new
serial number

ATP check on a specific batch characteristic

Hi Experts,
Is possible in GATP to check on a specific batch characteristic?
For example:
Sales order: Customer request SKU A (1000KG) with quality profile with a specific characteristic e.g. Water content need to be between 110 and 130 ppm.
Production manufacture the SKU A with quality profile Water content between 80 and 160. Production is completed and goods are on hand.
Stock on hand of the SKU A
250 KG Batch 1 -> Water content 85 ppm
250 KG Batch 2 -> Water content 120 ppm
250 KG Batch 3 -> Water content 140 ppm
250 KG Batch 4 -> Water content 115 ppm
250 KG Batch 5 -> Water content 122 ppm
250 KG Batch 6 -> Water content 117 ppm
Is it possible that GATP runs this check on order entry ?
1000 KG SKU A required, GATP is searching and finds 250KG batch 2, 250KG batch 4, 250KG batch 5, 250KG batch 6.
Does standard GATP provide this functionality ? If yes, how does it support this business process ?
Thanks,

Hi
It appears that you are describing a scenario where goods are sold from stock. In that case you can use the Characteristics Based ATP check.
Characteristics-Based Product Availability Check - Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP) - SAP Library
Search on this forum and SAP help for more details. Customer requirements for characteristic values of batch are maintained in Sales Order using batch search strategies (Tcode VCH1).
Since customers will potentially accept multiple values of a characteristic you can use characteristic substitution in Rules Based ATP to check for multiple discrete values.
Characteristics Substitution Procedure - Rules-Based Availability Check - SAP Library
Note that characteristic based ATP (with or without characteristic substitution) may be difficult to use if a characteristic can have continuous values or if the value of a characteristic changes over time (for example, remaining shelf life or quality grade).
Characteristic substitution creates sub-items in Sales Orders for every substituted characteristic value. May or may not be acceptable from a logistics execution perspective.
Finally, this gets even more complex depending on your scope of check. Foe example, if you want to commit to Inbound STO's at a distribution center, these ATP categories do not have characteristic assignment.
An alternative to using Characteristics Based ATP is to use Characteristic Evaluation functionality. See OSS note 601813 for its several limitations. From a performance perspective it is preferable to use Characteristics Based ATP over Characteristic Evaluation since it uses the ATP time series instead of detailed pegging relationships in order live cache.

Generating batch numbers

Hi All,
I have a requirement to generate batch numbers for every 200-item records of source file.
I have to populate to the target filed with generated batch number + the item sequence number (both are not available in file).
Thanks,
venu.

Hi Venu,
You can go with the option of Number Range objects in the ABAP . So from the mapping you can call this lookup table and generate the new number . For this you need to use JCO call . It is a kind of RFC lookup
This number range object you can maintain in the XI integrtaion Server(ABAP stack ) itself. To avoid overheads of call to the SAP r/3 systems. And also, while transporting, it is not required to change the IP address etc in the JCO call.
And one more option is maintaining Java Tables. with property files etc..
Hope this helps,
REgards,

How to upload Initial Batch Numbers through DTW?

Dear All,
How can we import the Batch Numbers along with the initial quantities of stock into SAP B1 using DTW?
I understand that we can use "OITW - StockTaking" template to import the initial quantities. Is there any way we can import Batches also at the same time using DTW?

There are many such user exits, please check and use the appropriate user exit.
