[former_member406718]

Hello Experts,

Need your urgent help on this issue

We have implemented standard Consignment process. Everything works fine except for Manual Batch determination at delivery for Consignment issue order

Client currently does manual batch determination for other order types during delivery creation (select Batch split at delivery item- Environment - Batch selection) but while doing manual batch determination for consignment issue order at delivery we are getting the below error

Batch determination for special stocks is not possible

Message no. VL197

Please provide your expert suggestions

Thanks

Can you remove the storage location or storage location determination for the delivery item category and try again?

Hello,

Thanks for your suggestion

There is no storage location on Delivery document and I have removed the storage location determination for delivery item category and Delivery type (Table views V_TVLK and V_TVLP)

But I still get the error! 

Any more thoughts?

Thanks

As Suggested by Respected Jurgen,

Have you checked the Special Stock Indicator for your Consignment Item Category?(It should be W-Consignment Stock)

You told you are getting this error at the time of Consignment issue--What was the Status in MMBE for this stock at the Time of Consignment Fill up?(Pl Provide the Screen shot)

Note: Have you activated the Batch Determination for this Material in MM02(Sales: General/Plant View)..

This information message is issued in 5 programs, in 4  SAP is checking

XLIPS-SOBKZ

in one SAP is checking XVBAP-SOBKZ

SAP allows in general only special stock indicator E , V and W, and in one case even Q

for example:

IF NOT ( XLIPS-SOBKZ IS INITIAL OR XLIPS-SOBKZ = 'E' OR

           XLIPS-SOBKZ = 'V'      OR XLIPS-SOBKZ = 'W' OR   "v_n_1066711

           XLIPS-SOBKZ = 'Q' ).                             "^_n_1066711

    MESSAGE I197.

    EXIT.

  ENDIF.

you can find those programs easily from SE91, enter the message number and click Where-used button.

What special stock indicator does your sales order item and delivery item have?

[former_member406718]

Thank you for your response, very helpful!

Special stock indicator on Sales order & delivery is 'W' and Batch management is checked in Material master

I have set a breakpoint in program MV50AF0F_FCODE_CHSL and this is where the error seems to be coming from

  IF NOT XLIPS-SOBKZ IS INITIAL.

    MESSAGE I197.

    EXIT.

I will work with ABAP resource on this & get back

Thanks!

Does that mean the automatic batch determination does work in this case?

[former_member406718]

Hello,

No, we do not have the Automatic batch determination switched on currently

Currently users click on Batch split at delivery item- Environment - 'Batch selection' to select or split the proposed batches.......this is where we get the below error for Consignment delivery

If I do F4 to select batches I can

Thanks

Mujju:

Please check the settings on your batch determination, on creation to special movement types in OPJ2

also check with note 1456276 see if it applies

[former_member406718]

Thanks,

Setup in OPJ2 seems to be fine. I see PP order type PP01 is assigned to the Plant I am working with (with no stock determination checked)

Actually, I am working on SD process of customer consignment

Thanks

[former_member406718]

Well, any suggestions please?

Thanks
