BATCH MANAGEMENT In Business some Materials are going to be processed and procured in Batches Ex: Pharmaceuticals, FMCG etc,.

Batch represents one unique number to number of similar products so that LIFO - FIFO methods can be implemented and defectives can be identified. In SAP Batch can be determines automatically for "Sales Document Line Item" and "Delivery Document Line Item" by using Condition Technique Concept. PROCEDURE - PROCESS FLOW MASTER DATA SETTINGS [MM01] CREATE CHARACTERASTICS [CT04] CREATE CLASS [CL02] CREATE SHORT [CU70] IMG CONFIGURATION SETTINGS MAINTAIN CONDITION RECOREDS [VCH1] CREATE BATCH [MSC1N] I. MASTER DATA SETTINGS: Go to MM01 create material master with "Classification View" Active 'Batch management control' in Sales: Genera/Plant view II. CREATE CHARACTERISTICS: CT04 Specify Characteristic name: ZCOLUR_BATCH116 Description: Characteristic GRP: Batch Status: Release Data type: Characteristic Number of characters:16 Check single value VALUES BLACK_BATCH116 WHITE_BATCH116 RED_BATCH116 Save it and go back

III. CREATE CLASS: CL02 - Class Characteristics are going to be assign to "OBJECT" "MATERIAL" through classification system ZCLASS_BATCH116 Class type: 001 Click on create Maintain data in Basic data Character: ZCOLUR_BATCH116 Go to 'MM02' - and assign Class

ZCLASS_BATCH116

IV. CREATE SORT RULE: CU70 - T-CODE ZSORT_SEQ116 Click on Characteristics ZCOLUR_BATCH116 assign characteristics with ascending or descending

V. IMG CONFIGURATION SETTINGS: IMG: LOGISTICS-GENARAL: BATCH MANAGEMANT Specify Batch Level and Activate Status Management: A. Batch Number Assignment: Activate Internal Batch Number Assignment: Activate Batch Number Assignment: Maintain Internal Batch Number Assignment Range: Ex: BATCH_CLT Client-level batch number B. Batch Determination and Batch Check: a. Condition Tables: Define Sales and Distribution Condition Tables: Create Condition Table for Batch Determination (SD): Ex: 001 Material 002Customer/Material b. Access Sequences: Define Sales and Distribution Access Sequences: Ex: "SD01" - Customer/Material and assign Condition Table "002 c. Strategy Types: Define Sales and Distribution Strategy Types: Ex: SD04 - Customer/Material Access sequence - SD01 - Customer/Material Class: ZCLASS_BATCH116

Customer/Material"

Characteristic: ZCOLOUR_BATCH116 Sort sequence: ZSORT_SEQ116 d. Batch Search Procedure Definition: Define Sales and Distribution Search Procedure: Ex: SD0001 - Standard SD Search Procedure And assign Strategy Type - SD04 e. Batch Search Procedure Allocation and Check Activation: Allocate SD Search Procedure/Activate Check: Go to new entries and maintain table HOSO - HD - HF - HOOR - SD0001 and check batch

f. Activate Automatic Batch Determination in SD: Automatic Batch Determination for Sales Order Items: HTAN check auto batch determination

Activate Automatic Batch Determination for Delivery Item Categories: HTAN check auto batch determination

VI. MAINTAIN CONDITION RECORDS FOR BATCH PATH: LOGISTICS: CENTRAL FUNCTIONS: BATCH MANAGEMENT: BATCH DETERMINATION: BATCH SEARCH STRATOGY: For sales and distribution: VCH1 - Create Specify: SD04 and maintain data VII. CREATE BATCH: 0000000369 - white_batch116 0000000370 - black_batch116 0000000371 - red_batch116 VIII. Go to "MB1C" and initialize the stock with Batch 1679 1679 1679 100 100 100 HSL1 0000000369 HSL1 0000000370 HSL1 0000000371 MSC1N - Create
