How automatic batch determination done in delivery.

Answer

Its copied , but very well explained

To trigger the batch number in the delivery document automatically we need to do necessary configuration and master data maintenance.

1.Batch management works on condition technique, menu path: SPRO -> à Logistics General-> à Batch management à Batch determination and Batch check.
Here we need to create new "strategy types" if necessary and "access sequence" if necessary, and also "batch search procedure" if necessary



2.Allocate the SD batch search procedure using the menu path: SPRO à Logistics General-> à Batch management à Batch determination and Batch check à Batch Search Procedure Allocation and check activation à Allocate SD search procedure/Activate check.


3.Activate Automatic Batch Determination in SD using menu path: SPRO à Logistics General ->à Batch management à Batch determination and Batch check ->à Activate Automatic Batch Determination in SD. Here we have two options, 1. To activate batch determination for sales order item and 2. is to activate batch determination for delivery item, upon the requirement we can activate at both the places,
But in general batch are activated only at delivery item level.

4.If we need shelf life expiration date for the batch we need to create a class using “t code: CL01”, type in a name for the class and select the class type as “023 – Batch” and maintain the characteristics as LOBM_VFDAT and LOBM_HSDAT (this for production).
5.Once the class is created go to material master under classification tab and maintain the class created.


6.One more important setting in the material master is to check the batch management. This need to be done before you process the material for orders.


7.Go to create batches for materials using t code: MSC1N or menu path: SAP Easy Access à Logistics à Central Functions à Batch Management à Batch à Create/change/display.
You can create new batches for the materials and also maintain the Shelf life expiration date (SLED) in the batch master.

8.so as to determine the batch automatically we need to maintain a condition record for batch search strategy type using t code: VCH1 or menu path: SAP Easy Access à Logistics à Central Functions à Batch Management à Batch Determination à Batch Search Strategy à for sales and distribution à create/change/display.
During the maintenance, maintain the class also in the condition record.

These steps will automatically trigger batch management during delivery processing. System will allot the batch automatically upon the availability of the stock in the batch.

Question { SAP Labs, 4952 }

Sales order is created 1st November for 200 tooth pastes 100 brushes free of goods(2 1 free goods).At the time of delivery on 15th
November you have shortage of brushes by 40. offer closed on 15th November . How do you solve in this scenario?

Answer

It depends on the company how they r practising

1 . Take the permissin from the customer and from the respective head in your company and extend the validity of the free goods for the customer and material in VBN2 for the next availability of that material.Bill the same when you procure or production of the material .

2. You can bill as per the sales order and take the permission from the customer for the rest of the brushes for later delivery . Though its not systematic . first customer should agree to this and next we have to take care how to send the rest of the brushes to customer bcz there will be no proper invoice because you have already raised it , you have to send it through manual billing with zero value for that you should be having sales tax people's permission.

3 . You can procure the rest of the brushes from the external vendor and deliver it to the customer on the same day or with permission of customer on someother day.If the material can be procured on the same day you can invoice the customer on november 15th itself.Else you have to take the permission from the customer for the delivery of brushes left on someother day .

4 . You can go for the production of the brushes. Lets say it takes 7 days to produce it . You can send the available material to customer on 15th november with proforma invoice and rest with after 7 days with someother order with manual billing and same can be accounted in the system with proper PGI and invoice.But the sale will get counted for november 22nd.Else if period is open you can do back dated PGI and invoicing .
