Thanks

Dear,

Please come back if your problem is not solved, some more information for your problem as below

You can activate recurring inspection type(09) with specific interval. in material master in QM view

You need to create insp plan for the same.

this ensures that the inspection lot is created from the day you did the GR inspection.

As per your requirement, the date is not from GR, but the date you did the UD for the lot created in the GR.

If you are not using QM,

Then you need to activate shelf life in material master. When you do the GR, enter the production date so that system will calculate the self life expairy date.

in storage data-1 view

you need to maintain min shelf life in days and total shelf life.

OMJ5

you need to activate the check box at plant level and for a given movement type with option -1

In QA07 you can do the job trigger

here is the help form SAP

Monitoring the Batch Expiration Date

If the expiration date of a batch is exceeded, the system automatically makes a transfer posting. This will occur if:

The batch expiration date has been exceeded within the opening period. This means that the current date plus the lead time is after the batch expiration date.

You have set the control indicator for blocking the batch on the selection screen for recurring inspections.

If these conditions have been met, the system will make the following transfer postings:

The batch status is changed to "not released," if the batch status management function is active in the batch plant.

The batch stock is posted to blocked stock, if the batch status management function is not active in the batch plant.

If the indicator for blocking the batch is not set, the system generates a list of all batches for which the expiration date has been reached or exceeded.

Monitoring the Dates for Recurring Inspections

The system can trigger a recurring inspection automatically, if the date of the next inspection is in the opening period. This means that the current date plus the lead time is after the next inspection date. In this case, the system creates an inspection lot for each storage location.

This will occur if you have defined the intervals at which the dates are to be monitored in the material master record (at plant level).

In addition to creating an inspection lot, the system can also block the batch or post the batch stock to inspection stock. In this case, blocking a batch means:

The batch status is changed to "not released," if the batch status management function is active in the batch plant.

The batch stock is posted to blocked stock, if the batch status management function is not active in the batch plant.

These stock changes can be made:

Immediately after lot creation

If the batch expiration date is reached or exceeded

In both these cases, the system makes a delayed transfer posting that allows the batch stock to remain in unrestricted-use stock as long as possible. You can still carry out inspections during this time. If the system makes delayed transfer postings, a job should be scheduled every day, to ensure that the stock is blocked properly.

Manual Triggering of Recurring Inspections

You can manually generate a list of materials that are defined for a recurring inspection. If you want to use the same selection criteria more than once, you can define a report variant for the selection criteria. For information about how to trigger recurring inspections manually, see Triggering Recurring Inspections Manually.

Job Planning and Execution

You can use the job planning and execution functions to make the system trigger recurring inspections automatically at predefined intervals.

Hi Kaushik,

Following are the ways of handling SLED and next inspection date (recurring insp)

First I start with basic info on SLED and Next insp date

On reaching SLED, batch should not be used at all. Once SLED is reached whether it passes the inspection or not, batch can't be used.

On reaching next insp date, batch re examined to assertain the fitness for use.

1. Use of SLED in combination with next insp date :

Total Shelf life 730 days, Inspection interval 182 days.

If stock exists for more than two years and 09 inspection is active, we can have 3-4 09 inspection lots before batch reaches expiry. On reaching expiry inspection lot won't be created but status of stock will be changed.

2. If the batches are being inspected to confirm the fitness for use and are not critical in nature use only recurring inspection. Pharmaceutical products are critical products hence SLED is used for the. Based on the critical nature of the products SLED can be used for end product/critical products and Recurring inspection for raw materials/ inprocess material.

If you need more info please don't hesitate.

Inspection lot won't be created for the expired batch.

If 09 is active, on reaching expiration date batch status changes along with moving stock to blocked stock.

Inspection lot can be created only for recurring inspection.....meaning material master QM view has inspection interval. Based on this interval, batch will have next inspection date. This next inspection date will be reference date for creating 09 inspection lot.

Hi Jitendrakumar Khot,

As per my understanding is SLED date is expired means that before this the next inspection date is already gone.............because as thumb rule we need to have some time gap between the SLED date & the next expiration date.........

Can you please elucidate me that in this scenerio how your suggetion hold good.......

Thanks & Regards

Hi Kaushik

Have u given inspection type of 08(stock transfer inspection type) in the material master of that material. Because we had used this inspection type to create automatic inspection lots when the material is transfered form unrestricted to blocked.

If works out pls do reward.
