Automatic Batch determination at time of Goods receipt for production order

[Former Member]

Hi SAP experts,

Greetings to you all. I wish to ask a query that how batch is determined automatically at the time of goods receipt for production order .

I have done the following settings:

1.Specified batch level at material level

2.External batch number assignment

3.Defined production order condition table '501' (plant/material)

4.Defined production order access sequence (order type-plant -material)

5.Defined Production Order Strategy type.

6.Defined Batch search procedure in Production Order.

7.Assigned Batch search procedure to Production order type for a particular plant , batch check not activated.

Please let me know of any more settings to be checked for the same.

For example, a production order is being confirmed for a quatity of 5 nos . at a time . However, the GI movement (261 movement type) for the production order components is taking place for 1 EA qty. from 5 different batches.

So now, how the system will define the GR (movement type 101) for the production order header material for the qty. 5 nos. EA ?

It is desired that the system should do GR for the qty. 1 EA of the header material for the 5 different batches (batches which were automatically deteremined for the Goods issue of the components).

Thanks in advance. good day.

Rahul,

Since you are using external batch number , you have to assign batch number to production order header material in the production order assignement tab only.

GR will happen in confirmation against the same batch number.

you can not have multiple batches for header material as per compoenent batches against same production order. Each production order will have unique batch at header level.

Hi,

Thanks for feedback.

Actually my query is :

For example, a production order for a material is being confirmed for the qty. of 5 nos. I have defined batch entry as '3' in MRP2 in the material master of the components of the production order , by virtue of which , the system is automatically defining the batches for the Goods issue of components at the time of production order creation.

Suppose , if we have defined automatic batch creation at production order creation or release , then is there any control on how the system will propose only those batches for the GR of the header material from which the goods issue of the order components is taking place

As explained earlier, for e.g., if the GR is taking place for the production order for qty. 5 nos. , and in that , if the component qty. is 1 EA for 1EA of header material ; then , the GR for the header material should take place for the same different batches from which the order components were issued for the order and not for the other batches in stock for the header material as well as components.

Is it possible ? Kindly advise. bye.

HI Rahul,

As explained earlier, for e.g., if the GR is taking place for the production order for qty. 5 nos. , and in that , if the component qty. is 1 EA for 1EA of header material ; then , the GR for the header material should take place for the same different batches from which the order components were issued for the order and not for the other batches in stock for the header material as well as components.

I am not sure if i understand your requirement 100%.

But let me explain you standard behaviour.

When Confirmation for production order happens and GR is posted during confirmation , All the GR happens agaist same batch number which i sassigned in production order assignment screen.

So for all the order qty single batch would be fixed. Say batch A1 is created for Header material for 100 qty.

Now during components issue to production order, If 100 qty needs to be issued for compoenent B it is possible to use multiple batches of componenets ( using splilt batch functionality /or manual batch number entry agaist componenet in goods movement screen) but header batch remains the same.

Hi ,

Scenario: Production Order of finished material Z1 for qty 10EA. Its Bom has only one semifinished material B1 10 EA. Goods issue to that production order is done. Goods issue of 4 EA of B1 from batch X1 and 6 EA of B1 from Batch Y1 is done.

At production order in goods reciept tab we are NOT maintaining any batch at all.

In normal case, when I do GR of production order 10 EA, system will ask batch number. I can give any batch number for split quantities. But what I want system to do is: It should allow me do GR of 4 qty at batch X1 and for 6 qty at batch Y1. It should not allow me do GR at any other batch numbers other than what is used during Goods issue of semifinished B1.

Thanks!. kindly revert back.

Hi,

You will need to achive this using user exit at the time of goods issue. search in the forum for Goods movement user exit at the time of confirmation.
