Batch Creation without Material

[former_member198406]

Greetings for the day

We have internal batch number assignment during Goods Receipt. But, for some of the material we need to create the batch manually with different series. So, I need to create the batch manually.

I am trying to create batch using MSC1N without material. I am only entering Batch, plant and storage location. But, system asking for entry in material field.

What can be done in such case?

Please suggest.

Dipesh,

Just create the batch record with Material/Plant combination and use it when you are making GR.

I don't know how to create batch record.

I would be thankful if you can tell me how?

Dipesh,

Using transaction MSC1N, enter the Material number / Plant Code / Storage location and Batch Number and press enter and save. Now your batch record is created, this can be used when doing GR.

Hello Dipesh,

But, for some of the material we need to create the batch manually with different series. So, I need to create the batch manually.

This was your query...right? So one can understand from your requirement that you just need different batch identity for your material. So you need to enter the material while batch creation.

Besides BATCH is a quantity of the material produced during a given production run. You can't separate it from material. So in my opinion it is not possible to create a batch w/o material.

Revert back with further details,

Thanks,

Thanks Sudhakar.

We have the internal batch numbering assignment for Goods Receipt and 10-digit serial number is assigned at the time of Goods Receipt. Our Requirement is to give the external batch numbering for some of the special materials. And due to internal batch assignment, system shows the error when we manually enter the batch for those special material.

Out consultant calims to create the batch without material and told us to try these scenario. But, It is not possible at all. (as you confirmed now and I can show this thread to that consultant. He was not ready to listen us).

Thanks a lot once again. (10-reward added)
