3515363 - Batch creation in Change Inbound Deliveries APP without BBD - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

When creating a batch in the 'Change Inbound Deliveries' app and filling the BBD (Best-before-date) field and saving, the value maintained is not saved in the Manage Batches APP.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

The EWM side needs LOBM_VFDAT to update the batch master. It is always possible to enter BBD in the APP Change Inbound Deliveries but without LOBM_VFDAT it will not be written into the batch master (but "only" on the delivery item and that's why you can see it in the EWM Inbound Delivery app but not in batch master).

Resolution

  • The Change Batch APP provides access to the Best Before Date (BBD) of batches by selecting the Material and Batch number in the batch master. In the Basic Date 1 tab, the Shelf Life Expiration Date (SLED) or BBD can be manually entered. The Classification tab shows the Class and Class Type for the Batch and Material.
  • In the Display Class APP, the Class and Class Type can be used to add the "LOBM_VFDAT" characteristic in the Characteristic tab, enabling the system to read the SLED for related batches. This setup automatically applies to new batches, while existing batches require manual entry of the SLED/BBD.

In case you don't want to extend the class or manually enter the SLED/BBD related to the mentioned options, you could create batches on the ERP side. Creating it by the ERP side, the batch and its material will automatically populate the SLED/BBD in the batch master (Manage Batches APP).
