Cancelling Goods Receipt and Using of Batch Number

[Former Member]

Hello,

i did a wrong goods receipt with the MIGO and canceled after two days the material document with movement typ 102.The Material uses a Batch number.

Now i want to use the old Batch number to do the right goods receipt, but the System says that the Batch number already exists.

I thought when i cancel the material document i can use the old Batch number.

I would be happy about every message.

Once a GR posted for a material with batch management, then system will create the batch master record automatically. System will store the information in MCHB and MCHA table. That is the reason you are getting this message.

Can you please explain the message number with text. Is it M7838 ?

i reproduced the problem and there is no message-number so i think it isn't standard and a additional problem.

When i reproduce the mistake in a test-System i get message-number:7668 and it's just a warning. In Table MCHA and MCHB is an entry for the batch-number with ERSDA (produced-date) on 10.04 and LAEDA (last Change) on 21.04 where i tried to do the second goods receipt.

Okay. System is behaving as per designed. If you do not want the warning message, then you can switch off the message from OMCQ.

Hi,

You have to remove/delete/archive record from MCHB table, after that you can use same batch no.

Actually, when a goods receipt is created with batch no., MCHA & MCHB table is updated.

Only you remove the batch record from MCHB table, then your issue will be resolved.

Thanks

ranjeet singh, this is nonsense.

SAP does not stop you from re-using an existing batch number. The message that you get is in a SAP standard delivery just a warning, as it is from a business process unusual that the same batch can be received multiple times.

If it is an error in your case, then somebody in your organization has changed the message attributes. so you should talk to them (see the change log in your DEV system) to know why this was done and  what the solution for your case could be

Hi,

In your sence old batch number means the batch in the material document which is reversed ? are you doing the GR with reference to the PO number ? if so in the batch tab provide the batch in the previous document which is reversed and provide the manufacturing date and post , system normally need to take the batch .
