[dejoy]

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:

1. 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.

Save

6.DEFINE DEPENDANCY T-CODE : CU01 Enter LOBM_UBD as shown below.

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 .
