Does SAP have standard functionality to achieve shelf life management, and shelf life can achieve this function?
Our company is the time to delivery the good control of the effective period, for example, some chemicals in the shelf life is 12 months. Our company will set up a long time to inventory, such as 6 months of receipt when we scan the production time, the system automatically calculate the production time and delivery time. If more than 6 months will refuse the delivery. The premise to use batch management.
To strengthen management information management for shelf life, the software function can be done, but behind the shelf life management scheme is the key, to start from the purchase orders, acceptance, inventory, sales, to receive, return, check the link of management requirements are very high, the problem of a point it is not up to the purpose of management.
I agree to this plan, set the total shelf life in the material master data (shelf life), and then set the minimum shelf life (refers to the material on the minimum days shelf life), this parameter is set at the time of receipt will be asked to enter the date of production, so that fast to the shelf life of the material storage. The minimum days can according to your conservative material storage time to determine. In addition to enable batch management, and batch search strategy is set to use first to the shelf life of the material, so it should be able to meet your business needs.
