Hi,

In the logistics process, that is from procurement to sales, you are required time and again to specify batches for individual business transactions. You can use batch determination for all types of goods movements from the warehouse to find batches that meet defined specifications.

· In Inventory Management (IM), you can use batch determination in goods movements when you are dealing with a goods issue posting (for instance, a consumption posting to a cost center), with a stock transfer or with a transfer posting.

· In Production (PP/PP-PI) you can use batch determination in production and process orders and run schedule headers to find suitable material components for the product to be produced, and to pick these from stock

· In Sales and Distribution (SD), it is possible to determine batches that match customer specifications. Batch determination can be triggered at two points in the process, either when the sales order is entered, or when the delivery is created.

Features

· User-defined search strategies

You choose the key fields from the business transaction for which you want to search for batches. For example, you choose the combination customer and material, and specify the criteria for batch selection.

· Strategy types

These strategies are linked to the individual business transactions. In this way, you can, for example, make batch determination dependent on the movement type and/or the plant when carrying out a goods movement.

· Batch search procedures

You can prioritize and group several strategy types into one search procedure. For example, you can define a general strategy that is canceled under certain circumstances by a special strategy.

· In the Warehouse Management System (WM), batch determination is used to optimize warehousing, for example, in view of stock removal strategies and replenishment from stores.

You can its uses and more details:

Batch Management you doing means , you just subdividing the material.

You can follow the following steps.

1.Create Characterstics,

4.Go to Logistic General->Batch Management->Batch Det and back Chk->Condition table-> Define Inventory Management Condition table

4.2 . Like wise Define Acess Sequense,

4.3.Strategy Types,

4.4.Batch Serch Procedure,

4.5.Batch Srech Procedure and allocation,

4.6..Condition Record: Logistic->Central Function->Batch Management-> Batch Determination->Batch serch Stratergy->For Inventory Manament-> Create

Once you do all customising steps,Then you can receive the material as per you requirement.Example....Lets say sulphuric Acid you are receiving 98%,70% and 50% purity.According to you requirement and supply from Vendor you can keep in three different batches.This characterstic of material you can maintain in creating the characterstic.
