Considering component shelf life in batch determination
Introduction : inspiration for this blog derived from thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/3414474 . I assume all basic settings for batch management and batch determination for components are in place. Without waiting, enjoy the short ride with me.
Process steps:
- Create batch class T-CODE CL01
Adding Characteristics LOBM_VFDAT
SAVE
2.MAINTAIN IN MATERIAL MASTER--CLASSIFICATION VIEW
3.SORT SEQUENCE T-CODE : CU70
4.CREATE STRATEGY CLASS To be used in Batch Determination process.
5. T-CODE : CU65
Enter and click on 
Button
Make sure to mark LOBM_RLZ and LOBM_LFDAT as input parameters as shown above.
Follow Menu path->Goto ->Basic data here select status 1 as Released.
ENTER
CLICK ON 
And paste below code
FUNCTION LOBM_UBD
(LOBM_LFDAT = $SELF.LOBM_LFDAT,
LOBM_RLZ = $SELF.LOBM_RLZ,
LOBM_VFDAT = $SELF.LOBM_VFDAT)
IF LOBM_LFDAT SPECIFIED
Save
7.DEFINING BATCH SEARCH STRATEGY T-CODE : COB1
7.a SELECTION CRITERIA :Choose required strategy, I have chosen CO02.Assign class ZCLASS_002 here. Make an entry for expiration date check. I mentioned > 50 days here .
7.b SORT RULE

Hi,
Very helpful document,but some of the screen shots are not visible plz check.
Hello SAP QM,
thanks for the update,ill check and update soon.
Regards,
Hello SAP QM,
Could please help in finding which screen shots are not visible.
Best Regards,
Hello SAP qm,
Please check in other browser.For me images are mising in chrome and IE,but firefox showing it all well.
Regards,
I have checked in Firefox browser,screen shots are displaying, Thanks
Just load all pictures again, if you already know that many people have an issue to see them, this solved the issue in other cases. Or report a bug in http://scn.sap.com/community/support/scn-bug-reporting
if you want see what others see, then check the screen shot behind the link.
http://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/38-87641-281259/305-400/screenshots+missing.JPGImages are not actually missing in non-Firefox browser.
What you see as blank box are extra blank boxes, in addition to images added by you.
For example, between point 2 and point 3 of this blog, you see 1 image in Firefox, whereas 1 image + 1 blank box in IE.
While editing the blog, switch to html mode, and see the code.
You need to remove tags <img ....> which does not specify src (source) image path.
<img src="something.png"> is fine.
<img > is faulty.
In above html example related to code between point 2 and point 3 of blog, first <img tag is fine, whereas second <img tag is bogus.
I actually think that Firefox may not display this empty spaces (I dont have a proof), but the user wanted to show more screen shots and SCN did not allow it, because
"you can insert a maximum of 20 images with a total file size of 1 MB into SCN content."
Firefox displays empty images. I checked using a small html file.
The image tag in jive postings have class="jiveImage", and the platform might be hiding empty spaces using CSS, which is working only on Firefox.
Hello Manish,
I am not able to choose file/insert image while editing/reloading,is it becoz it crossed 1MB limit?
Note:
i uploaded all content to .docx file and its size is 350 kb.
Good document,
The code is very useful, the object dependency explained is useful for other bussiness process requirements also.
Neelima
Thank you for the appreciation and i am thinking to extend object dependency with more detail with other scenarios in next blog.

Very Useful...Many Thanks.

Hi joy,
Can you please help me inserting a field (w.r.t. your last screen shot) just beside characteristic sort field I want a field as Split Qty. in Base UOM, which I was getting earlier. But not getting now.
Regards
Neelima
Hello Neelima,
Split quantity as shown below
will come when you would maintain in t-code COB1 for your strategy type like below
Hope it helps
Regards,
Hello Joy,
In my configuration there are two unit of measures, Base UOM and alternate UOM, In the field you had mentioned is shown for alternate UOM and one more filed used to appear just beside Charcteristics sort field i.e. also split qty but is Base UOM.
I got it earlier, but now not getting.
Just check and revert.
Hello Neelima,
When you do Batch determination than alt Uom will come into available qty field and base Uom will come into Requirement qty.But i have doubt that field adjacent to char field?
Could you please share screen from working system.
Regards,
Hi joy,
You can see the screen shot below and please communicate incase you are able to comeup with any solution.
Regards
Neelima
Hi Dee,
Very short and clear document.
But One thing , why the characteristic column are blank (last screen shot), as you have maintained it in the
Class CL01 Zclass_001, the SLED date should appear in those (characteristic)filed????
