Hi Ankur,

As per SAP community rules of engagement interview questions should not post.

Batch - A batch is a quantity of the material produced during a given production run. A batch represents a homogeneous unit with unique specifications. A Batch is a subset of the total quantity of a material held in stock. The subset is managed from all other subsets of the same material.

Depending on the plant, material and operational levels we can choose the level at which you want the batch number to be unique. The material number is unique at the client level. However, the uniqueness of the batch number can be defined at the following levels -

• In combination with the material and plant
• In combination with a material number
• At the client level
