Dequeue Batch/Material

Hi,

Upon GR i need to carry out GI also. Hence I did configure output type for GR that would trigger a program as part of output determinatioin procedure. Here in this program i'm using bapi call for doing GI. Now, the problem is when i execute it and check in debug mode the bapi call is returning error message "Batch XXXX of material XXXX83 is already locked by <MY UID>".

The lock object corresponding to this as checked in SM12 is EMMCH1E. But when using the dequeue function, i couldnt still see the lock in sm12. is there a way to sort it out?

Hi,

it's not a good idea to remove that lock. There is a good reason for it. If you remove it then you may get inconsistencies in your system. I strongly advice you not to remove that lock.

You need to find a different way how to create GI automatically after GR creation. One way is to submit a background job which will wait until GR is created and then it will create GI. Another possible way is to use workflow for this.

Cheers

Got hold of a note:

SAP Note 157423 - Message M3682 for goods movement to the same batch

Hopefully this should be of help
