One material with posibility of two batch determination

[Former Member]

Dear SAP experts,

I have one question for you. We want to have one HALB material manufactured in one facility, and second one want to purchase same material from external vendor.

I test it, is is possible. However, I´m facing problem with batch number. We have batch numbering different for external and for internal materials.

External batch is let say P1234 (P as purchased), internal batch has numbering C1234 (C as component).

I need to create new batch strategy, which will create batch number based on source of material. So basically in material master there will be I supposed new strategy, for specific component, which will create P or C lot based on source.

Can you please advice?

Thanks

Hi Zdenek,

Batch number can be assigned to multiple material. But you need to maintain two batch master record

for external ( P1234 )as well as internal (C1234 ).

In Classification: yes it is possible you can maintain it

Classification

For Example:

Material

Class Z01

Class - General        Description : General Materials          

Value for class general       Char value

Internal                                C1234

External                               P1234

(Assigning a class and maintaining values for characteristics )

and save it.

Regards,

Vivek

Hi,

In transaction - SNRO

use the object as  - BATCH_CLT

Define two number range external for the batch numbers.

Do the config for batch number triggering at the time of GR for both type of material.

Use exit for external batch number assignment while processing GR.

Let me know if any clarification is required.

Hope this will help in your process.

For the purchased materials (P), please check the enhancement SAPLV1ZE by which you can make the system to create batches with external interval according to your requirement. In standard there is no option available for auto batch creation based on the source of a material. For clarification, please check the following function,

Logistics general ---> batch management ---> Creation of new batches ---> define batch creation of goods movements

Thank you for your answer.

I was looking more in material master solution, in Classification field we have strategies on material  number level.

Is this possible or not?

The material master has not much to do with your requirement, it is the batch creation at goods receipt where you have to check if the GR is in reference to a purchase order or a production order and based on that the number has to be assembled in the user exit for batch number creation.
