Inventory Management: Check Shelf Life Expiration Date upon

Goods Receipt
Description

As of Release 3.0, it is possible to check the shelf life of a material upon goods receipt.

Requirements

The shelf life is only checked if the following requirements are met:

The minimum remaining shelf life is maintained in the material master record or in the purchase order.
The minimum remaining shelf life is the minimum number of days for which the material must keep
for the goods receipt to be accepted by the System.

The expiration date check is active in the plant.

The expiration date check is active for the movement type.

General procedure for materials that do not have to be handled in batches

If a material does not have to be handled in batches, the following functions are supported:

entry and check upon goods receipt

printing on goods receipt/issue slip

Entry and check upon goods receipt

If the expiration date check is active, you must enter the expiration date or the date of production of the
material for a goods receipt.

Upon goods receipt, the System checks whether the remaining shelf life entered in the purchase order or in
the material master record is sufficient. If it is not, either a warning or an error message will be issued
depending on the configuration.

If the goods receipt is posted, the expiration date is recorded in the material document.

Printing on goods receipt/issue slip

The expiration date is printed on the goods receipt/issue slip.

If the warehouse management system (MM-WM) is active, the expiration date is recorded in the transfer
requirement, in the transfer order, and in the quant.
In this case, the printed transfer order serves as a pallet note.
(See Release note WM: Expiration date)

General procedure for materials to be handled in batches

If a material is handled in batches, the following functions are supported:

entry and check upon goods receipt

printing on goods receipt/issue slip

analysis of batches according to expiration date

batch determination for goods issues according to expiration date

Entry and check upon goods receipt

For a goods receipt, you must enter the expiration date or the date of production of the batch if the expiration
date check is active.

Upon goods receipt, the System checks whether the remaining shelf life entered in the purchase order or in
the material master record is sufficient. If it is not, a warning or an error message is issued depending on the
configuration.

If the goods receipt is posted, the expiration date is recorded in the material document and in the batch
master record.

If the batch already exists, the System additionally checks whether the expiration date entered or determined
for the movement agrees with that from the batch record. If the dates differ, a warning or an error message is
issued depending on the configuration.
If the goods receipt is posted even though a warning has been issued, the old expiration date is retained in the
batch record.

Printing on goods receipt/issue slip

The expiration date is printed on the goods receipt/issue slip.

Analysis of batches according to expiration date

You can create an expiration date list specifying the remaining shelf life, expiration date, and quantity for
each batch.

Batch determination for goods issues according to expiration date

If a goods issue is entered in Inventory Management or a delivery in Sales and Distribution (SD), you can
use the batch determination function to search for batches according to the expiration date.

If the warehouse management system (MM-WM) is active, the expiration date is recorded in the transfer
requirement, in the transfer order, and in the quant.
In this case, the printed transfer order serves as a pallet note.
Batch determination can take place in Warehouse Management or in Inventory Management/Sales and
Distribution.
(See Release note WM: Expiration date)

Fields in a material master record

In a material master record, the following fields are relevant to the expiration date check:

Minimum remaining shelf life in days

Total shelf life in days

If you do not enter a total shelf life, enter the expiration date for goods movements directly.

If you do enter a total shelf life, enter the date of production for goods movements. The
System automatically calculates the expiration date from the date of production plus total
shelf life.

You will find both fields in the storage data of the material master record.

Effects on Customizing

You can make the following settings in Customizing for Inventory Management:

system message attributes

Here, you can specify for each user group whether a warning message, an error message, or no
