How do you do Batch Determination?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Could you please explain the entire Batch Determination scenario and the related configuration to be done?

And the integration with the other modules in R/3?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Go through this

A1) Normaly we use batch determination at delivery level, because at the time of order material may or may not be created.for this material should be configured with batch and batch determination should be checked in sales views of material.

A2) Batch Determination during order Creation.

For this you need to maintain a Classes d for you Material. Depending on the Manufacturing process you can define the characteristics for your material.

Ex: Purity for Medicines, Resistance for Electric Items.

You need to create a class (You might have to create a new class type) which incorporates the characteristic.

First Create the Characteristic Using Ct04 and then using Cl02 create the Class including this characteristic.

Then in your material master Classification View Enter this class.

Then Create a Batch for the particular plant and Stor Loc using MSC1N.Give the value of the characteristics in this batch.

Then go to SPRO ->Logistics General ->Batch Management and maintain the Condition Technique (Procedure, Strategy Types and assignment to sales docs etc).

Then Create the Batch Determination Record using VCH1.

Hi Melvin,

The batch determination uses condition technique to determine a batch for an item in order / delivery.

Batch can be determined for a sales order item or delivery item. But if its determined in a sales order it can not be changed in delivery.

The required configuration is as below.

IMG > Logistics General > Batch Management > Batch Determination and Batch Check

In this you need to define a appropriate Search Procedure. You can also define different strategy type depending on your requirement. (Strategy type is included in the Search procedure similar to the condition type in Pricing Procedure).

Assign the Search Procedure to Combination of Sales Are and Sales Document Type. The IMG path is

IMG > Logistics General > Batch Management > Batch Determination and Batch Check > Batch Search Procedure Allocation and Check Activation

You also need to activate the batch determination for either sales document item or delivery document item. The path is

IMG > Logistics General > Batch Management > Batch Determination and Batch Check > Activate Automatic Batch Determination in SD. Here you need to activate the item category for batch determination to work.

Once the configuration is complete you need to maintain the condition record for the strategy. Transaction code for this is VCH1.

In the codition record you need to maintain the Selection criteria and Sort Sequence. The selection criteria selects the batches as per the criteria and sort sequence sorts the list of selected batches. The selection criteria is based on classes and you need to maintain a class of type "23" in material master too.

I hope this will prove helpful to you. Award points if it really helps.

Hi Melvin,

For one material, we can provide a customer with diffeernet specifications.for that to facilitate the customer and ourselves we create materials in batches.

For that purpose we will be creating characteristics, classes and these will be taken care with the strategy types (condition types). When once the strategy type is assigned with a class, we will be giving a sort rule to make sure that on what basis the batch has to be determined.
