Batch Determination during Mass Release

[Former Member]

Hi

I am performing mass release of process orders,system skips the release of some orders and i get the following error message.

"You must enter the batch for material".

I assume that the batch determination should happen automatically when we release process orders in mass. Batches are available for the components in stock bu t systen doen't pick them.

What might be the reason for this. Please let me know.

Thanks

Hi Vithal,

Check the MRP2 view of material master of the materials whose process orders have problem.

Bch Short Descript.

Batch in goods issue; no confirmation required

1 Manual batch determination required upon release of order

2 Batch not required in prod./process order; confirmation reqd

3 Automatic batch determination upon release of order

Reasons can be many.But in MRP2 view for some material there may be entry 1 instead of 3.

Hope you will get hint.

Hi

Thank you for the reply.

For all the components materials which are batch managed the Batch entry indicator maintained in the MRP2 view is <b>3</b> (Automatic batch determination upon release of order).

Anything else that i am missing here. Please let me know.

Thanks

Hi

This step will be complete when you create bact search strategy.

Then it will determine batch automatically.

Hi

I already have batch search strategy defined in the system. System skips few orders only when i do a mass release not all orders.The error message says "you must enter batch for material XXXX"

We have defined a strategy type ZO01 (order type/plant).

Thanks

Hi

All the materials which have this problem are not new.They were created long back. Its been 2-3 weeks that this problem is seen. Also this is seen only for consignment materials.

Hi

Try to creat batch search strategy for the components in question.

& then try this.
