reason to do batch management:
Legal requirements (for example, the guidelines set out by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) or regulations on hazardous material
Defect tracing, callback activities, and regression requirement
The need for differentiated quantity-and value-based Inventory Management (for example, due to heterogeneous yield/result qualities or varying constituents in Production.
Differences in usage and the monitoring thereof in materials planning in SD and Production.
Production or procedural requirements (for example, settlement of material quantities on the basis of different batch specifications).
batch split:
If a material is managed in batches, you can carry out a batch split for every component.
This means that if you split a batch, you assign more than one batch to one component. In this case, each batch is displayed as a separate component in the component overview.
The following requirements must be met for batch splitting:
The material master record of the material must specify that the material is managed in batches
Batches must exist for the material
You should choose batch determination in sales orders when customer requirements take precedence over all other factors (such as stock removal strategies, for example). Use batch determination here, if a customer, for instance, requires a material with certain set specifications.
Contrary to deliveries, batch splits are not possible for sales orders (as opposed to delivery). Even if you have defined a certain number of batch splits in the batch search strategy, the system overrides this default setting.
You use batch determination for the sales order to find batches for set specifications. You can also reserve batches, as requirements are transmitted via the sales order in the same way as they are via the quotation.
