Batch Merge in 8.8 Family

30 Views

Hi All,

I did a test upgrade from SBO 2007A PL 10 to 8.81 PL09 to see the behaviour of Batch Merge as explained in SAP documents.

I am stuck at few points, in the documnetation it is clearly mentioned that the Batch with different properties in different warehouses would not be merged & a suffix -1, -2, -3..... would be added after the batch name.

It worked for all properties except for Location, when i had different location for a batch in different warehouses in SBO 2007A & I upgraded it to 8.8, no new batch was created

Ex:- I had an Item A with batch 'Test' in whse 01 & 02 with value of location being X & Y respectively. The results I was expecting after upgrade were batch 'Test' in whse 01 & 'Test-1' in whse 02 but what I got was 'Test' in both whses.

When I tested for batches with other different properties I got expected results.

Secondly, it is mentioned in documentation that if some batches have blank properties and the others have the same, non-blank property values, then all batches merged. But on practical application it does not happen.

I tested with item A batch 'Test' with all blank properties in whse 01, 'Test' with attribute 1 value X & all other properties blank in whse 02 & 'Test' with attribute 1 value Y & value in details Z in whse 03.

As per document the batch in 01 should have merged but in this I do not with batch from which whse (02 or 03).

Contrary to all believes, nothing merged & batches 'Test' , 'Test-1' & 'Test-3' were created in 01, 02 ,03 resp.

Kindly advise if someone has encountered or tested such scenarios.
