Batch creation

[#1]

Dear All,

There is a business requirement as follows:

Component A is batch managed and is used to produce B, which is also batch managed.

In the production order for B, several batches of A might be used. Hence B need to have several batch number assigned accordingly.

Does anyone know how to realize this?

Hi!,

It is a normal process and used everywhere, because it is not necessary that you will have a raw material batch of exact size which is required for production. You can do it through batch determination and batch split function. Define a batch search strategy on MBC1 and COB1 and sort rule (CU70).

Hi Uday,

It is not regarding component A, it's about B, how to have the system generate several batch numbers for B in one production order or during goods receipt if there are batch splits for A...

Hi!,

Ya! it is possible to split the produced quantity in several batches. To do this plase do following:

1. Create a production order without assigning a batch number to it at the time of creation or release.

2. On confirmation > Goods movement screen, please select the header line item and select splitting from menu. After splitting as per your requirement click adopt.

Now select the various splitted line items and click create batch from menu. System will generate diff batches for the same material. Now save the confirmation.

HI,

In addition to the above post, you can have multiple batches for B at the time GR with MB31 also.

On the MB31 screen select the "To Order" tab on the top and and enter the Production order number multiple times, this way also you can get GR of B in multiple batches.

Hope that helps.

regards,

Rohit.

Thanks guys... both ways should work.

In addition, is there any other way to let the system split the batch creation of B based on the batch split of A itself instead of manually?

Hi! Rohit,

I don't think this will work because that provision of multiple order entry is given for GR against multiple orders. Please confirm.

Hi Uday,

In this way, the system shoud be enabled to have automatic gr, otherwise B will not show up in the confirmation - goods movement overview screen.

Hi Uday,

This method works. This way, from a single production order you can receive multiple batches. You just need to mention same production order in all the lines (rows) in the "to order" pop up screen.

Thats standard SAP. Kindly check.

Bin: As far as my understanding goes, you can not do this automatically, you would require some development. Let experts comment.

Regards,

Rohit.

Dear,

Use the Exit EXIT_SAPLCOBT_001 under enhancement PPCO0001 where-in based on your requirement you can create multiple batches for your production order. We have used this user-exit at current client to create multiple header batches.

You can use CALL FUNCTION 'VB_CREATE_BATCH' to create the batches as per your requirement.

Also make sure the automatic batch creation setting in Prodn Scheduling profile has been turned-off so that the batch is created only through the user-exit.

Please try and revert back.

Thanks R.Brahmankar,

It sounds great... I will try that.

BTW, it will be great if you can send me a functional specification on how you use this user exit to create multiple header batches... that will help me a lot.

Best Regards,

Bin
