1) Material must be batch managed. I have no idea what non-inventory means. Even non-batch managed materials have quantities and therefore inventory and value. But if you don't use batch management, you cannot use SLED (Shelf Life Expiration Date)
2) in most delivered out of the box SAP system you only need to make the material batch managed. (There are numerous steps and decisions to set up batch management. Research it and you should find lots of info). Then you need to define the shelf life in the material master on the plant data storage view. This includes a length of time, a period of time and possibly a rounding rule.
3) SAP does not automatically do anything for SLED.
- you can run MB5M transaction to monitor expiring stock and manually deal with lots coming up on their expiration date. it does not move the stock for you.
- there is a deadline monitoring program in QM that can be set up to automatically move expired, or soon to be expired material to blocked stock. However, you must activate the 09 inspection type in the QM view of the material master which means you need to set up some basic QM configuration for the module. There are a ton of threads out there on running the program RQAAAS10. You can run it manually using transaction QA07. You can set it up with a variant and run it as a batch job with QA05. See the menu path QM-->Quality Inspection-->Worklist-->Inspection Lot Creation-->Deadline Monitoring. QA07 will NOT work with handling units or special stock like project stock.
