Force Batch Split in Delivery when assigning batch at TO stage

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a process where we send out ASNs via an IDOC (DELVRY01). We are currently not assigning the batch at the delivery and are instead assigning the batch at the TO stage. We need to keep this process. If we pick the entire delivery qty from the one batch the batch is updated on the main delivery item. If we need to pick for more than one batch the delivery is updated as a batch split line. This is causing us an issue as we need th eprocess to be uniform regardless of how many batches were used. We would like the delivery to have a batch split line even if there was only one batch used when picking.

We need it uniform as we have a PI mapping which takes the batch from the handling unit segment of the idoc which works fine if there is a batch split on the delivery but not if the batch is on the main delivery item.

Does anyone know if there is a config setting or user-exit that can be used to make the process uniform, and ensure that a batch split takes place in the delivery regardless of what happens during picking.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Elaine,

If the picking has happened at the main item level because of a single batch, then how would the system know how many splits to make. Also, as you would already be aware standard SAP automatically clubs picking based on the batches.

A better way would be to modify the PI mapping to handle both the batch split at main item and sub-item. Should be fairly straight-forward-let us know what the mapping logic is in PI -and we can work on it.

But if that is not possible, then add modification in the User-exit which sends the DELVRY01 idocs to create multiple split segments based on a defined rule and let PI handle it accordingly.
