vendor batch number on 561

[Former Member]

How do you get the vendor batch number (MCHA- LICHA) onto movement type

561? This is needed when we initialize inventory balances and assign the

batch number and also need to add the vendor batch number. The GR mvmt

101 has this functionality available but not on 561 or other movement

types

Hi

There is no optional available. In one of my implementation, we have entered Vendor batch in batch filed for Initial inventory balance. So we had track like which batch is from intial inventory and which batch is from PO.

Hello Rajendra,

It is not possible to enter a Vendor Batch (LICHA) in a goods receipt without reference to a purchase order with the movement types 501, 511 or 561.

Also notice that although you can enter a Vendor Batch when you post a goods receipt with reference to a purchase order, you cannot display it later with the transaction MIGO. This is said in the Note 330585 (MIGO: Vendor batch in material document display): Under the 'System response after the note is implemented' section:

"After the attached correction instructions are implemented, the field can no longer be seen in the display of the material document for the vendor batch using Transaction MIGO. Displaying the vendor batch does not make much sense since it might have changed since the posting of the material document. The material document itself does not have the information of the vendor batch that was entered at that time. In the system, only the information of the current vendor batch exists for the batch."

I hope this helps!

Esther.
