Hi,

In the logistics process, that is from procurement to sales, you are required time and again to specify batches for individual business transactions. You can use batch determination for all types of goods movements from the warehouse to find batches that meet defined specifications.

In Inventory Management (IM), you can use batch determination in goods movements when you are dealing with a goods issue posting (for instance, a consumption posting to a cost center), with a stock transfer or with a transfer posting.

In Production (PP/PP-PI) you can use batch determination in production and process orders and run schedule headers to find suitable material components for the product to be produced, and to pick these from stock.

In Sales and Distribution (SD), it is possible to determine batches that match customer specifications. Batch determination can be triggered at two points in the process, either when the sales order is entered, or when the delivery is created.

In the Warehouse Management System (WM), batch determination is used to optimize warehousing, for example, in view of stock removal strategies and replenishment from stores.

Siddharth

If you talk to MM consultant, he should be able to explain you the basics of batch determination. Once you know the basics, it should not be a problem for you to understand the perspective of Batches in SD

Hi,

You are very right but but SD guys will have to activate the (automatic) Batch determination in Delivery (It Cat level) which will actually determine the batches while Delivery.

Process Flow:

Sales & Distribution

-A sales order for a material subject to handling in batches is posted.

You have previously agreed with the customer that the batches of the material he is supplied with must meet certain specifications.

-you run a batch determination, as well as a batch availability and usability check. The system determines that the sales order cannot be met with the present stock.

-a requirement is transferred to production.
