1. change batch management flag from space to X.
1) It should have no stock in MMBE.
2) It should have no stock in storage loction history data (MARDH)
In order to delete material storage location data just run report RM07KOHDEL.
※Restrictions when run report RM07KOHDEL.
1) Never delete material history records for the current
period (based on lookup for material in MARV table using BUKR).
2) Never delete material history records from the previous period
(again based on lookup for material in MARV table using BUKR).
3) Never delete material history record for two periods before
the current period based on MARV table lookup.
4) Never delete material history records for the last month
of the previous year (based on MARV table lookup for material).
5) Never delete the last material history record for a given
material under any circumstances.
２. change batch management flag from X to space.
1) It should have no stock in MMBE.
2) It should have no stock in storage loction history data (MARDH)
3) It should have no batch data. (MCHA and MCHB)
In order to delete material batch data, first run MSC2N to set delete flag = X
then ran transaction SARA (MM74) to achive batch data.

If we want to activate/ de-activate then we need to perform below steps.
• Check the Status of material in MMBE ( stock overview company code/plant/storage location /batch ) ;
ideally stock should not be present for material at any levels
• There should not be any open purchase order for material; we can check entries in table EKPO.
• There should not be any open production order. we can check entries in table AFPO.
• There should not be any sales order. We can check entries in table VBAP.
• There should not be any purchase requisition. we can check entries in table EBAN.
• There should not be any stock in transit. we can check MB5T ( display of stock in transit )
• There should not be any Plant availability Stock, use MB53 to validate.
• There should not be any reservation for material. we can check in MB25
(reservation list ) .
• Stock requirement should be zero we can check in MD04 (stock requirement list).
• There should not be any open delivery we can check entries in table LIPS.
• There should not be any open warehouse Transfer Requirement. We can check entries in table LTBP and LTAP;
• There should not be any open Warehouse transfer orders. We can check
entries in table LTAK.
• The Batch Corresponding to the plant has to be set for deletion indicator in MSC2N,
if previous period stocks exist, we can make a withdrawal posting also.
After cross checking all above steps we can activate / de-activate batch management in material master.
But in most of the cases, number of material master date is huge and
it is not possible to follow above steps for all material.
To solve this issues SAP have provided standard programs.
Solution
Now SAP provided two reports which can update or remove BATCH MANAGEMENT
INDICATOR and BATCHES without removing the material stocks and documents.
We need to close only open physical inventory documents.
The below reports update, all relevant documents based on batch activation/de-activation:
• RVBCONVMAT2BM - Sets the batch management requirement indicator.
• RVBREVMATBM - Removes the batch management requirement indicator.
Useful sap note
These programs should be applied with in preview of the following SAP notes
• Note 533276 - Setting the batch management requirement indicator
• Note 533383- Deselecting the batch management requirement indicato
