Sales order picked the batch which will expire before the delivery date

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have a material MAT1 with Batch BAT1 which has the shelf life expiration date as 18.03.2014. A sales order was created on 16.03.2014 which is supposed to be delivered on 22.03.2013.

In this case the sales order should'nt have picked the batch BAT1.

In the material master for MAT1- Min. Rem. Shelf Life 1 Month.

Please let me know what could be the reason to pick this batch which is not expected...

Thanks in advance!!

There are 2 things:

1. Check whether you have a characteristics LOBM_RLZ - Remaining Shelf Life for Batch for respective class used for batch. In batch search strategy(VCH1) for the material Remaining Shelf Life for Batch should be greater then equal to 7 days.
2. In your movement type used for the GI, check at least SLExpir.date is not equal to 3 - No check at goods issue.

Thanks, JP
