Updating Shelf Life Expiration Date

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a request to setup the SLED for the materials which already have stock. Is there any Program or Transaction to update the SLED for those materials?

The materials are not Batch Managed. We will be maintaining the Min Shelf/Total Shelf. Fields in the material Master. For the Future GR there won’t be any problem. Our main issue how the SLED/BBD will be updated for the materials which already have stock.

Thanks

Hi Manish,

                Thank You for the reply. There is no way we can modify the SLED for the existing Quant or Do you think the only ways is to modify through a custom Program to directly update LQUA Table?

Thanks

If you have less number of Quant then you can use transaction LS22-Change Quant to do it manually one by one or else you can go for direct table update if it is allowed in your project (for mass change) of SLED (Not advisable but  i think you don't have other option available here for mass change)

by updating LQUA you can get the required detail in future transaction from WM perspective however if you have any custom report which picks the data from the Delivery table or material document table then you need to update those table also

You can easily create a LSMW for mass change for t-code LS22. It's on of the t-codes very easy to work flawlessly with in LSMW.

SLED on quant level might be different then SLED on batch level, depending on the actions performed. If you change SLED in MSC2N you won't get a desired result (that all the quants get SLED changed), it will only influence your batch determination/search, but not FEFO / stringent FEFO.

To answer your question from post No. 3, no please do not use direct update of LQUA, again - use LSMW instead for mass modifications.
