Batch management

[Former Member]

Hi,

The process order for a material ‘A’ is 1000pc’s (Make –to- Order). The component required to make ‘A’ is 500 pc’s which is managed in batches. The batch determination is done in the order for Components based on First expiry First out. The component is issued via backflush in COR6N.

The scenario is: During Production process, There is an over delivery of Material ‘A’ to the extent of 1010 PC’s. While Doing Confirmation for 1010 PC’s, the system recalculates the component quantity to 505 Pc’s. The batch is assigned only for 500 Pc’s in the order. How to assign the batch number for the balance 5 Pc’s or How to handle the scenario?

Hi Raghvendra

I am not sure if my answer will be helpful to you- but I will try to explain important steps in Batch search procedure- I am pasting the SAP help notes below if possible go through the online help which will help as it will branch you to various related topics. Please let me know if you have any specific question.

Prerequisites

You must have assigned a search procedure to the business transaction. The search procedure contains different strategy types that are relevant for the business transaction.

There must be a batch search strategy for one of the strategy types. See also Creating a Batch Search Strategy.

The selection class must contain at least one of the characteristics with which the batch was classified. See also Definition of a Batch Search Strategy.

Process Flow

You start batch determination manually, or the system starts automatic batch determination.

The system then carries out the following steps in succession:

it looks for a search procedure for the business transaction

it searches through the strategy types listed in the search procedure for a search strategy. The first valid search strategy is adopted and all other search strategies are ignored.

it then uses the characteristics from the selection class of the search strategy to look for batches with suitable specifications

it checks whether the batches are available

it sorts the batches that were found and are available according to the sort rule from the search strategy

the system selects a proposed quantity in accordance with the proposed quantity from the search strategy.

the system proposes that batch determination is to run online, providing that the search strategy contains the information
