SAP Batch Classification Overview

The document discusses how the classification system in SAP allows grouping similar objects into classes based on shared characteristics. This enables users to classify objects and materials like batches according to their specifications and properties. The classification system links material specifications to batch specifications by assigning batches to the same class as their associated material. This ensures target values and tolerance ranges from materials are inherited by batches.

The classification system allows you to use characteristics to describe all types of objects

and to group similar objects in classes – to classify objects, in other words, so that you
can find them more easily later.

You then use the classes to help you to find objects more easily, using the characteristics
defined in them as search criteria. This ensures that you can find objects with similar or
identical characteristics as quickly as possible.

Batch Classification
Batch specifications describe the technical, physical and/or chemical properties of a batch. You
store batch specifications, such as batch status or active ingredient potency, as characteristics in
the Classification System.

You can use the classification system to assign the material specifications to the material of a
batch. These material specifications are assigned to the same class as the batches of the
materials. Thus you can store the target values of a batch with the respective tolerance range.
These target values are, for instance, used in quality inspection or during the goods receipt
transaction, if it is necessary to immediately classify a batch. The values are also employed for
the usability check.
The graphic below shows the link between material specification and batch specification:
In the material, you store the target ranges for all characteristics. As the batch belongs to the
same class as the material, the batch automatically receives the characteristics of the material.
For each individual batch, you enter the exact actual values.

Characteristic: It describes the specification of an object such as length, width, weight, color
Class: A class contains one or more characteristics
Class type: It describes group of objects that have common or similar specifications. 023 is the
class type used for Batch Management.

Process Flow:
Create characteristics – CT04
Create Class with class type 023 – CL01
Assign the characteristics to class – CL01
Assign the class to the Material in the Material Master in classification view…- MM02
Create Batch and assign the values to the characteristics – MSC1N
Assign the class to the material in the classification view for the class type 023

Select the class type as 023 and assign the class as shown below….
Now create one batch for the material through MSC1N
Create one more batch
