1. How is a shelf-life item managed in SAP? What is the full cycle?
Answer:
There are actually two types of shelf life
1) Total shelf life

Total Shelf life - If total shelf life is maintained then the minimum shelf life is also to be entered (mandatory). While taking GR for such item, it actually ask the user to enter the Manufactured date so that the system automatically calculates the expiry date.
Minimum shelf life - While taking the GR, it asks the user to enter the date of GR date so that it checks whether the days entered in material master has been satisfied.If the
condition is not satisfied then it will not allow to take receipt for that item.
