Problems with existing stock and batch management indicator

Former Member

Hi,

We would like to set the batch management indicator for a material.

However, there is stock on the material for the given plant.

The different stock categories for the plant/material combination are as follows (according to transaction MMBE):

Unrestricted use 150

Reserved (for production ordeers) 42

Open order qty (incoming PO) 100

"When I try to set the batch management indicator in MM02 I receive the following error message:

Material Master Maintenance

The batch management requirement cannot

be changed for the following reasons:

Stocks already exist at plant level.

Plant SLoc

PL01 SL01

PL01 SL02"

Can someone please guide me in how to remove the stock and the reservations, so that we can set the batch management indicator? Does the reservations of stock have any impact (there are reservations for 5 different production orders for this material)?

Thanks in advance,

Lars

you have to remove stock from previous period and current period.

you can see previous period stock in MM03, plant stock view.

You first issue the quantity of the previous period in previous period (posting needs to be allowed in MMRV) and then remaining stock in current period.

You can use movement type 201 or 551 for this.

Then you can set batch management indicator,

after this you can enter your stock again with batches.

thanks for your answer, what we have is the following:

Plant A

Current period stock: 150 Unrestricted use

Previous period stock: 171 Unrestricted use

Plant B

Current period stock: 17 Unrestricted use

Previous period stock: 17 Unrestricted use

Now, how do I withdraw the stock in previous period?

I am not sure I understand, sorry.

in plant A, you have to add 21 in current period (e.g. with 202 movement), then you issue 171 in previous period. with 201. Result: both periods are zero.

plant B, just issue 17 in previous period with 201.

Make sure that the settings made in MMRV allow postings to previous period.

Make sure that OB52 settings allow to post in previous period.

Use MIGO with posting date of last month to post in previous period.

Many, many thanks!

And when bringing in the stock again with the batch information,(i.e 561 or 202) do I have to use the current period or the previous as the posting date?

I recommend to use the same current and previous period dates as you did it to issue the stock.

If I interpret you right, everything should then be brought back into stock using the previous period posting dates, since nothing was issued from stock with current period posting dates?

For example

The 21 should be brought out of stock (201/562) using the current period posting date

The 171 should be brought into stock (202/561) using previous period posting date

plant B, just issue 17 in previous period with 201.

for Plant A 171 with movement 202 back into stock with previous period date, and subsequently 21 goods issue using 201 in current period.

for plant B: 17 with movement 202 and previous period date.
