batch determination issue

Hi Gurus,

I got a selection class with Characteristics:

LOBM_LVORM Deletion ind. for batches

LOBM_ZUSTD Status of batch

LOBM_VFDAT Expiration date, shelf life

LOBM_MENGE Batch determination sort qty

and a sort sequence:

LOBM_MENGE Batch determination sort qty

LOBM_VFDAT Expiration date, shelf life

FZUST Indicator: Batch in unrestrict

and batch status now is:

Deletion ind. for batches Not set

Status of batch Released

Expiration date, shelf life 06/05/2008

But when I do batch determination in process order, this particular batch is still being picked up despite of its expired status. This batch is the only batch at the plant, no other batch or stocks other than this (for this particular material).

Can you enlighten me experts?

Regards,

Kumar
