Check whether the selection criterion characteristic value is filled up in all the batches. Probably you might have added a new characteristic to your class and after this is done only one batch might have been created.

Are you able to see all the batches if you select w/o class selection in Batch Determination screen. Also check whether there are batches available in the specific storage location.

Dear GSL,

Yes , i could see all the batches in sorted way in bathc determination screen and also , could enter the values in split quantity field .

Whether , do i have to proceed like this only, or batches will be listed automatically in batch split section itself.

Note : i have not activated availability check for my scenerio , here it is not required.

Hi,

Assuming that the batch carries manufacturing date and expiry dates as characteristics, then you can create a sorting rule in SPRO (Transaction code CU70), in which you can select LOBM-VFDAT (Batch expiry date) as characteristics and Ascending order can be selected. Assign this sort sequence in your batch search condition type.

Or otherwise, as proposed before, you can use batch receipt date in the sort rule to pick the batch. Or you can also use batch manufacturing date MCHA-HSDAT field as characteristics in Sort rule to pick the first produced batch to deliver first.

Thanks to shivram and GSL .

When i go to VL01N , i am getting only one batch ( very first one ) , instead of all batches in ascending .

Any clue? where went wrong.

Use Date of last goods receipt (MCH1-LWEDT) for sorting. Create a batch search strategy (VCH1) so that the batches will be automatically picked up in delivery.

If u want batches in FIFO.

While Issuing the material from Production to Storage Location use Expiry date.

Batches will work in FIFO basis based on the Expiry date.
