Batch Determination at Production Order via Rem Shelf Life

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I need to setup a batch determination for components.  Its simple requirement is via Remaining Shelf Life.

Ex.  Via Batch Strategy, Component A should select batch whose Rem Shelf Life is > 90 days.

I have created a Batch Class for COB1 (ZRSL) with Characteristic:

LOBM_VFDAT (Expiration Date Shelf Life - SLED)

LOBM_RLZ (Rem Shelf Life)

Component A's batch class is ZCLASS_001 with Characteristic:

LOBM_VFDAT (Expiration Date Shelf Life - SLED)

Now I have these available batches of Component A

Batch 1: Expiry = 31/12/2014

Batch 2: Expiry = 15/09/2013

From these 2 batches, only Batch 1 is valid since its RSL is greater than 90 days. 

But during Batch Det in Prod Order, it still identifies the 2 batches as Valid for selection.

Am I missing a characteristic here?  Basically, during Batch Determination, I want RSL to be computed from the date when Batch Determination is executed (ex. Current day).

Thanks in advance folks!

Hi Manoj,

Kindly go to the following steps

1.       Create a class with different name CLASS_RM & assign characteristics LOBM_VFDAT (Expiration date, shelf life) & assign in the material master classification tab.

2.       Create Class with name CLASS_SEARCH & assign characteristics LOBM-VFDAT (Expiration date, shelf life), LOBM-LFDAT (Batch Determin. Delivery Date) & LOBM_RLZ(Remaining Shelf Life)

3.       Create search strategy by CU70 ( SORT_EXPIRATION)

4.       Assign this search strategy in COB1 & Assign the class in the COB1 as created in step no 2 (CLASS_SEARCH) in selection criteria and also maintain & LOBM_RLZ >90 days in COB1 in the selection criteria.

*Make sure all the master data related to Bath management must be maintained in the material master.

I hope your requirements will fulfill.

That's exactly how i maintained it.  Still not working in PRoduction Orders.

Vijay indicated characteristic LOBM_LFDAT in his reply.  Did you maintain that characteristic in your search class?  You never mentioned that value anywhere.

Have you looked at analysis screen to see what values it is using when you create the order?

Hi,

have you assigned Search Procedure in the process order type? TC: CORC?
