Minimum Shelf Life check in outbound delivery

[lovekush_singh]

Hi All,

Problem: Min Shelf life check not happening in outbound delivery

Scenario: I have a batch managed material where total shelf life and min shelf life data is maintained. Batch Management is active at material level. Movement type 601 has SLED check active "1".

I created a delivery from the sales order and picked a batch which will expire after 5 days. Min remaining shelf life required is 20 days. I can do the PGI and no message is issued.

VL451 Message I have configured as E.

Note 1111547 - Remaining shelf life in delivery falls short - no error msg

As per the above SAP note min shelf life check should work with outbound delivery also. My understanding may be wrong please let me know your thoughts.

Let me know if you have seen min shelf life check in outbound delivery.

Thanks,

Lovekush Singh

I haven't seen it, but I didn' t search for it either. We let SAP check dynamically. if we deliver to our customers then we need to make sure that the batch does not expire on its way. towards Australia this may need a remaining shelf life of 50 days, while within Europe 10 days would be sufficient. Hence I cannot just use this static remaining shelf life date from material master.

OSS Note 33396 - Batch determ.: Selection w. remaining life LOBM_RLZ

explains how to setup the dynamic check.

Hi Jurgen,

You are right we have batch determination where we use Rem Shelf Life characterstic ( LOBM_RLZ) for batch determination based on the delivery date but users are allowed to overwrite the batch.

So I thought there should be some stansard check of Min remaing Shelf Life as pointed out in SAP note 1111547 where I can change the message setting to E=Error and that will act as a second check.

I was trying to figure out when does the below code get triggered it was neither triggered in outbound nor inbound delivery processing. Does it get triggered only in case we use WM TO for picking confirmation. I will check that but in case you know.

Function Group V50L

Include LV50LF01

PERFORM lips-mhd_check(sapfv50p) which trigger VL 451 message

thanks,

Hi - we are facing the same issue. The batch number is keyed in manually but the system does not care about the min. remaining shelf lif. Did you find any way to activate it?

Hi Stenfan,

I did not find any solution to this. Standard Min rem Shelf life check seems to be for incoming good receipt and not for out going shipments on sales orders. If you are using batch determination you can throw an error if define selection criterion is not met.

I beleive if it is required as a standalone check you need to do some enhancement either in delivery or at good issue.

I will try to check again if I find somthing.

Thanks,

Hi Lovekush,

as we did not find any standard solution either, we used an exit (MV50AFZ1) in order to implement this functionality.
