Batch Determination with multiple batch characteristics

467 Views

Dear All,

I have a scenario where a component quantity during batch determination is calculated based on the

Order Quantity / (ASSAY of component * (100 - Water Content)).

The component is maintained with Batch Characteristics / Batch Class assigned and Batch Classification maintained for the BOM item of the component.

When I do batch determination and want to deduct the increased quantity with filler quantity, I get a message as the formula is looping.

Example:

Order Quantity : 540

Batch Characteristic

ASSAY : 100 (Ideal Situation)

Water Content : 0% (Ideal Situation)

Component quantity : 540 / (100 * (100-0)) *100*100 = 540KAI or 540KG

Actual Batch Values are:

ASSAY : 96.45%

Water Content : 4.76%

Component Quantity : 540/(96.45 *(100-4.76)) *100*100 = 587.858 KG

But I get the value as: 559.876 which is (540/96.45)*100. So the water content Batch Characteristic is not considered at all during batch determination, though the formula is set as such.

Any guidance in this regard please.

Thanks
