Batch determination using FEFO

[Former Member]

Hi ,

We set up the auto batch determination in the outbound delivery using FEFO (first expiry first out).. It is working fine except that it is also getting the batch numbers whose SLED have already expired. The system should not propose these batch number.

How do we set-up in configuration?

E.G.

Batch 1 = expiry date 11/1/2010

Batch 2 = expiry date 12/15/2010

Batch 3 = expirty date 01/01/2011

By, FEFO the sytem gets the batch 1, and is being post Goods Issued.

But what we want is that , it should not get Batch 1 because the products are already expired.. It should get batch 2 instead..

Help..

You can add a characteristics called remaining shelf life in the batch search strategy class (t.code CL02). In CL02, enter the batch selection class and go to tab Char. There make entry Z_LOBM_RLZ in the characteristics column and description as Remaining Shelf LIfe. Also maintain other parameters like Data as NUM, Number of character as 4, decimals as 0 and unit as days.

Then go to t.code VCH1, enter the customer material details. Then click on the selection criteria button. There you can maintain the remaining shelf life as for example > 10 days. By this way you can exclude the soon expiring batches from selection.
