Production Order Material Staging

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way that you can change SAP so that it picks the raw materials by batch number instead of reciept date for production staging, at the company I workwe use part of the raw material but then send back to stores, the raw material will go to the back of the list for picking (picking uses FIFO on reciept date), but if SAP looks at batch number it will be picked first again, is this possible?

Kind regards

Frankie

Hi Frankie,

Try taking Batch creation date instead of receipt date for FIFO Strategy.

Please confirm.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, is this straight forward to use batch creation date in FIFO? Sounds like exactly what we need.

Thanks

Hi,

In Stock removal control setup, tick the check box User-Exit active & then implement the user-exit -> MWMTO004 or MWMTO013 depending on the type of FIFO you have implemented. In the exit it reads the batch details in the table - T_BDBATCH & the table -> T_QMAT is populated with quant details.

Work with your abaper on this. Check & revert.

Hi Suri,

Is the batch creation date easy to find, i've been looking in config in the FIFO area and cannot seem to locate this.

Hi,

Not in front of the system at the moment, but check table MCH1 field ERSDA, you should get that info.

Hi Vivek,

Thanks for your reply, I'm not sure if i'm going off on a tangent.

I have been looking at configuring new strategy types,search strategies and search procedure to change the way our system stages raw materials to production, now by GR date we would like batch number, another forum post has told me too look at this method, does this sound like overkill to you? or is it just the case that you implement the user exit you mentioned?

Very kind regards

Hi,

As you might be well aware, for a given issue, there will always be a multitude of ways to solve it. So what i suggested above was one of the ways which can meet your need.

So all i can suggest is, do try it out in your sandbox & if it meets your need, adopt the same.

I guess that's the best i can do.

Vivek
