Configuration for Batch Management

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Could you tell me the configuration settings for batch management from Initial stage.I want to know the setings to do the same before beggining the batch management process

Hi Prasad,

Before you can manage batches of a material in stock, you must first specify in the material master record that the material is to be managed in batches for the specified plant. To do this, you must set the batch management requirement indicator in the material master record (for example, in the Purchasing view field MARA-XCHPF or Storage Location view field MARC-XCHPF).

Whether the material is managed in batches:

This indicator can be set while creating material.

MM01 -- General Plant data/storage 1 View -- Batch Management (check box)

(Check also Purchasing or Warehouse Mgmt 1 view).

Level of Batch Number Assignment

If a material is subject to management in batches, every quantity of that material must be assigned to a batch. Each batch of a material is identified by a unique batch number, under which it is managed. This number is either entered by the user (external number assignment) or assigned automatically by the system.

You can define number assignment for batches at various levels:

- Uniquely at client level for a material

- Uniquely at material level

- Uniquely at plant level

In the standard R/3 System, numbers are assigned to the individual materials at plant level.

For every batch, there are two types of data:

- General data on the batch (for example, shelf life expiry date, date of the last goods receipt), which is defined in the master batch. The master batch applies to all storage locations in which the batch is located. No stocks are managed at this level.

- Stock data, which is managed separately for every storage location in which the batch is located.

For example, if the batch C1 of a material is spread across two different storage locations, the stock quantity is tracked for each storage location.

When you enter goods movements for materials handled in batches, you must enter the batch number in addition to the material number. If you do not know the batch number, you can search for the batch using the required characteristics.

Dear Moderator - Can we put in Wiki ???

Batch determinations:

1) Create condition table:024: movement type/plant/material.

2) Access sequence: ME01: Assign table

3) Define strategy type: ME01: maintain access sequence

4) Batch search Procedure: ME0001: Maintain strategy type (ME01), Step/Counter/Strategy, type.

5) Batch search allocation and batch active: movement type 101/special stock indicator/batch search procedure/batch check (manually assign).

6) Define characteristic: CT04

7) Define class: CL02: assign class

😎 Define sort rules (sequence): CUTO: should be ascending order or descending order.

9) Number ranges for batch search strategy: 01SNRO: KONHH

10) Batch where use list: activate it at plant level.

11) Activate batch specific material unit of measure: active check mark 12) define batch: MMR/MSC1N 15) Define SLED in batch management: Maintain period indicator002K/OMJ5
