SAP Finance - Configuration and Setup

SAP Finance is a common module used by SAP and is tightly coupled

with Controlling, I have decided to break out the finance section otherwise it
can become too much to learn, however there will be some topics that will
discuss controlling as they are heavy linked together.
What I will do in the FI section is to add a paragraph or two to explain the
accounting aspect in relation to the business, as I am not from a accounting
background it is sometimes very hard to understand where you would use
SAP in your business, SAP is a massive product and you do require a bit of
business knowledge to fully understand it.
I also have a section on how to use the FI from a users point of view, such as
creating invoices, performing payment or dunning runs, etc, you can find this
under financial user's guide. This will help you understand some of the
configuration and setup that you will have performed in this section.
Please feel free to email me any constructive criticism you have with the site
as any additional knowledge or mistakes that I have made would be most
welcomed.

How to find batch numbers and its relevant info

steve75 asked Nov 16, 2009 | Replies (5)

Dear all,
I've been asked to collate information out of SAP on the following,
1. Bulk batches released within a time period
2. Batch numbers, material numbers and quantities
3. The number of packed batches within a time period
4. A list all rejected materials - based on a time period
Firstly, is this possible? If so, can this be display and exported from data browser? What
are the table names, field names etc
Or can the info be collated via the relevant transaction codes? What would these be?
Thanks for any advice...

If QM is being used to accept/reject all batches, QA33 may provide you all the needed data
except "packed" batches; am not sure what is meant by that.

If I understand correctly, use:

1. MB5M
2.MMBE, but it shows batch numbers with stock for each one, for a specified material;
MCH1
MCHA
MCHB
MCHB_CHARG
MCHBH

Re point 2 - MB52 with 'display batch stocks' selected is user friendly for current stock,
showing material/batch/qty. Alternatively, tables MCHA, MCHB, MCH1 contain info for all
batch records - depending on how batch numbering in configured in your system. MCHBH
contains batch history by period.
.
For points 1, 3 and 4, if I understand the meaning of your terms, then you can use MB51
with the appropriate movement type to get info. What do you mean by 'released' - if this is
from "Q" to Unrestricted then MvT 321 is required. What do you mean by 'packed' - for a
sales delivery (IM MvT 231/WM MvT 601)?, packed from manufacture?, put away into

warehouse stock? etc.. What is meant by rejected"? - return to supplier?, fail quality?,
scrap? - these are all dealt with differently, and (can) have their own movement types. If
you look at the list of MvT types this should help you.
