Batch Determination in Production Order

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Define Batch Determination Batch Determination is used in inventory management, production, sales and distribution, warehouse management. It is used to select batches and allocate the same in a manufacturing order or in an outbound delivery or in a goods issue/goods transfer in inventory management. In Production, Sales & Distribution, in inventory management or in warehouse management, batch determination is used to search and allocate batches for the components in production order/process order or to search and allocate the delivery batches in a customer based outbound delivery or to search for batches and allocate batches in goods issues. The tools that batch determination uses is the determination condition techniques based on the condition tables, access sequence and strategy types. These condition types are enough to choose and allocate batches. Though additionally batch determination uses selection classes and its characteristics values to choose batches and/or uses sorting rules to choose sort batches while selection based on characteristics and its values. We have already learnt in batch derivation documentation, how the search procedures condition techniques help in searching the sending batches and receiving batches and thus derive the transfer of characteristics values. Similarly you can use the search procedures techniques to search and select batches during batch determination.

First Step Create Batch Determination Condition tables Batch determination condition tables once created become the key combination fields for searching batches. Eventually the condition records or search strategies are created as master data based on these key combinations. The Condition Tables are created separately for IM, Production, WM and Sales.

Second Step Create Batch Determination Access sequence Batch determination access sequences have multiple condition tables (key combinations) assigned in a sequence of priority. This facility allows you to create data for many key combinations so that even if the search of batches fails on the first key combination condition the rest in the priority would help in search. The Access Sequences are created separately for IM, Production, WM and Sales.

Third Step Create Batch Strategy Types Batch Search Strategy holds multiple access sequences, though not assigned in any sequential priority. The assignment of the strategy types is separately for IM, Production, WM and Sales. The strategy types or condition types are assigned in priority in the next step called Batch Search Procedure Definition. The strategy types configuration holds the selection criteria and the sort rules used in batch determination techniques. Strategy types are used ultimately to create the batch search master data or batch search condition record so that the system would know the exact level at which search for batches is to be carried out along with the selection/sort rules of these batches. It is obvious that batch search strategy is used to search batches on certain rules, because you want to automate the process and do not want it to do it manually for each and every batch. Thus you have to aid the system in putting in a decision such as - search all the batches of a given plant or search all the batches of a given set of material at a plant or search batches for a given component or etc.

Fourth Step - Create a Batch Search procedure A Batch Search procedure holds multiple strategy types assigned in sequential priority. The Batch search procedure thus becomes the final configuration which holds the total search configuration together. The Batch Search Procedures are created separately for IM, Production, WM and Sales.
