ProdOrder - BOM Component Automatic Batch Selection

Former Member

Hi All,

My Company is using "Batch Management" for thier articles. When creating the Production Order and going to the Component overview - I am trying to get the Batch Number for the Component to default or at least bring up available Batch numbers that the Production Planner can choose from.

Right now they have to go out to LS26, look up the component material, and determine which "Batch" number is available. They then come back into the Production Order and enter the batch there. This is time consuming for every component. I need the batch to auto-determine or at least bring up the list of available batches for them to choose right in the PrdOrd.

I appreciate your input! Thanks.

Would really like to gain some big efficiencies in this process; by automatically determine component batch numbers; auto-converting planned orders to production orders (probably set up batch job for this using program PPBICO40 with selection variant), etc.

The big deal is auto-determination of the batch for the component. All I want the production scheduler to have to do is concentrate on enter the Production Plan in MD61 and then once the Production Orders are created going in and manually releasing for production (basically). The process the scheduler has now is way manual.

Hi,

For this you need to use batch determination rule.

You have to define search strategy nd assign it to the order type.

It will determinne the batches automatically.

for this you can go through the forum you will find lot many threads posted already.

What are the transactions for:

- For this you need to use batch determination rule?

- You have to define search strategy nd assign it to the order type?

Any specific fields on the Article Master that needs to be filled out in cooperation with the config above? Batch Entry Field, etc?

Thanks again!
