The Condition Tables are created separately for IM, Production, WM, and Sales.įig. Eventually, the condition records or search strategies are created as master data based on these key combinations. Once Batch determination condition tables have been created, they become the key combination fields for searching batches. Alternatively, batch determination is used to search and allocate the delivery batches in a customer-based outbound delivery or to search and allocate batches in goods issues.Ĭreate Batch Determination Condition Technique In Production, Sales & Distribution, Inventory Management, or Warehouse Management, the batch determination is used to search and allocate batches for the components in production/process orders. It is used to select batches and allocate them in a manufacturing order, an outbound delivery, or a goods issue/good receipt/goods transfer in Inventory Management. Also, the Batch Management box is ticked in the material master view.Īutomatic Batch Determination is used in Inventory Management, Production, Sales & Distribution, and Warehouse Management. Material Master Maintenanceįinally, the class with assigned characteristics is maintained in the material master classification view (Tcode MM01/MM02). In the figure above, ‘SAP_EWM_LOBM’ is the required class that holds all relevant characteristics. 2: Material Classification, Class, Class Type, and CharacteristicsĪll required characteristics are assigned into a Class (Tcode CL01) with class type 023 (Batch Class). Also, characteristics values can be blank so that it can be maintained at a material master classification view later on.įig.
SAP MOVEMENT TYPE DETERMINATION PROCESS MANUAL
For example, the production date of manufacturing of a produced goods can be found from production order table data, and manual intervention is not required.ĭuring characteristics creation (Tcode CT04), we define how characteristics values will be maintained. Thus, in a given plant, different materials can have the same Batch number.īatch Specifications Master Data Structure Creation of CharacteristicsĬharacteristics can have a fixed value, number range, or can pull values from SAP tables directly. With this method, the Batch number will be unique at the material level only. This method is useful when plant-to-plant stock transfer is used, and the Batch number is supposed to be unique. In this case, the Batch number is unique for the entire Client, meaning the same Batch number will not be generated for different Plants under the same Company Code. If a plant-to-plant stock transfer scenario is used, plant-level Batch numbering is not suitable. The same Batch number can be generated at another plant under the same Company, though these Batches are not the same. There are three different levels for Bath Management: Plant LevelĪt a plant level, a Batch number is unique for a material inside a plant only.
