Shelf life in APO PP/DS

[Former Member]

I am using APO V7.

In PP/DS, can the system handle shelf life in hours, or does the shelf life have to be in days?

In ECC is it possible to define shelf life in hours?

Thanks for any advice on this...

Dear,

If in the R/3 System a total shelf life is maintained, the system automatically sets indicator 'Planning with shelf life' in the product master during the transfer of the material master into the APO System. The system transfers the total shelf life defined in the R/3 System as 'Shelf life' into the APO System.

The system displays the shelf life data in the PP/DS product view and in the Push Production only if indicator 'Planning with shelf life' is set at the product master. For receipts, the system displays the end of the maturity time and the end of the shelf life. For requirements, the system displays the time of the required shelf life and the time of the required maximum shelf life.

Hope clear to you. Also refer OSS Note 1072022.

Regards,

Thanks for your reply.

In R/3 or ECC can the shelf life be defined in hours (or must it be in days)?

Hi,

In R/3, you can specify shelf life in (day, week, month or year) but not in hours..This period indicator is provided at path (SPRO>Logistics - General>Batch Management>Shelf Life Expiration Date (SLED) >Maintain Period Indicator). You can check that there is no period indicator for hours in R/3.

Kind Regards,
