Same batch number should be automatically generated if the material is different

[joseluis_alvarezalvarez]

Dear experts,

the idea is to generate the batch ids automatically at material level. Through customizing in OMCE (Batch unique at material level) and OMCZ (Automatic batch number assignment active) the system generates automatic batch numbers during materials entries, and also allows the assignment of the same batch number to different materials manually.

Can the system also assign automatically to a Material a batch number already assigned to another one?

Example: For Material A batch Id 0000000001 is generated, then for Material B the system is assigning 0000000002 automatically with the current config, how could be configured to assign to Material B the batch Id 0000000001 as well (because for that material that batch ID does not exist yet?

thanks a lot,

kind regards,

Jose.

Frankly I can't see business rationale of that kind of batch numbering.

However you could implement that with user exits EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002. Take a look at documentation of SPRO: Logistics - General -> Batch Management -> Batch Number Assignment -> Configure Customer Exits for Intern. Batch Number Assignment

are you short on numbers?

You would need a number range per material number to achieve this.

As this does not make any sense you have to create your own logic for number determination in the user exits for internal batch number assignment.
