3779218 - Discrepancy in remaining shelf life percentage (LOBM_RLZ_PROZ) when Total Shelf Life is maintained in Months

• The standard SAP characteristic LOBM_RLZ_PROZ (Remaining Shelf Life as a Percentage) is used for batch determination, but the calculated value does not match expectations.

• Mismatches or rounding errors occur when comparing the remaining shelf life calculation against actual calendar days.

• This behavior occurs specifically when the Total Shelf Life in the Material Master (MM02 -> Plant data / stor. 1 view) is maintained in Months (M) rather than Days (D).

• The characteristic LOBM_RLZ_PROZ relies on the dependency LOBM_UBD_PERCENT, which standard system calculates a fixed conversion of 30 days per month. It does not account for the varying number of days in specific calendar months, leading to discrepancies in the usable until date.
