Manual feeding of batch Number in sales order.

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We have a typical requirement. Wherein I want my user to manually feed a batch number in sales order, eventhough that batch does not exist in system. Eg.: If my user wants his batch number to be ABCD, system should accept it and the same should happen if the batch number happens to be 1234. Where and WHAT CAN I DO IN THIS REGARD.

Please help.

hi,

for all the queries you have asked,

first batch management should be active at item level.

input stock in 561 against batches

give manual batches at sales order level.

or else

you have to write a piece of code for manual batches that means what ever the batch you give manually in sales order level that batch should be accepted by the system automatically but system will not accept stock valuation in batches if you write a piece of code.

Hi.

Thank you for your response. I want my user to feed batch number that comes to his mind in the sales order. even if stock is not there. So activating batch at the item level would not help. Yes, batch has not been activated at the sales order level.

this will solve your purpose i think

dear,

May I know the purpose of maintaining batches for material?

As per SAP limitationss, you can have only one batch in sales order - which may determined automatically based on your Batch management customization or entered manually. No batch split occurs in sales order.

But entered batch should exist in Inventory. If you want the system to allow you dummy batch where inventory is not maintained, you can create dummy material just to enter in sales order & later on can change in delivery( this should be actual inventory managed batch).

Do you mind maintaining Dummy batch ( eg: ABCD) & recommend the users to use only this batch number in Sales Order ?
