Batch number is not passed to the PO neither to the disposal document

[Former Member]

Hi all, I'm working with a material with batch management,  when I create the entry document I have an error to enter the batch. I enter the batch number manually, so far so good.

I have two issues:

1. When I create the purchase order I was expecting that the function will transmit the batch number but in the item the batch field is empty.

2. In the disposal document I don't find any document type with the batch field. I have searched in all the disposal document types and the batch field is not there.

Thanks,

Alvaro

Hi Alvaro,

Has you posted the material in the inventory? In the disposal process the Inventory Management isn't attached with the PO, you can't see the good movements in the PO history. The same rule for WM.

These are the typical steps, when you uses IM in the disposal processing:

• Create entry document.
• Post material
• Create PO
• Create disposal document
• Clear material
• Close entry document

Hi Juan Carlos, I'm following the steps as you described, well, not exactly, I clear the material before creating disposal document. In the material document the batch is passed OK, same for the 502 mov clearing the material.But in the Purchase Order no batch at all appears.

Hi Alvaro,

And that is the regular behaviour, because in the disposal process there isn't connection between the PO and the Inventory Management. The target of the PO is only to control the cost of the process. Don't think like in a typical MM scenario.

Hi Juan Carlos, the I don't see the point to include the batch in the entry document if it won't be shown neather in the PO nor the disposal document.

This is my case: I have botles of gas for disposal. Each botle has an identification wich I identify with a batch number.

When you send them for disposal you need to present a documentation for each botle of gas with the correspondent ID number.

If I don't have the batch in the purchase order neather the disposal document I won't ever know wich one I'm sending for disposal. ¿It is correct?.

So what should be the way to proceed?,

Hi Alvaro,

First, active batch management in the customizing for the document category, that you are using in disposal processing. Then, in transaction WAE02 you'll be able to enter the batch number for the entry document that you have created.

This will solved the rest of your problems.

Hi Juan Carlos, the flag for batch management was activated already, some how the batch value it is not transfered to the PO as the quantity, date or any other data transfered from the entry document to the PO.

For the disposal document is different since I'm not able to find the field batch in any of the dynpros.

Thank you for your help,

Alvaro

Hi Alvaro,

Correct me if I wrong, if each bottle has an unique ID number, this means that each bottle has its own disposal document, why don't you use the Disposal document number to label each bottle. Or it's a diferent number.

Hi Juan Carlos, each bottle is comming with a serial number, it is comming with its own documentation so the serial sould go some where in the disposal document.

However, you just gave me a good idea if the batch number can not be transfered to the disposal doc, I can give the batch number to the disposal doc number.

For the Purchase order I still don´t know why batch it is not transfered from document entry.

Hi Alvaro,

In the disposal document you can enter three different numbers:

• Disposal Document, internal number (EHSWAT_MN-MNINO), you can put here your serial number.
• Disposal Document Number Assigned by a Transreg. Authority (EHSWAT_MN-MNNOCTRY).
• Disposal Document Number Assigned by a Regional Authority (EHSWAT_MN-MNNOST), usually called in Spain (DCS - Documento de Control y Seguimiento).

But take a look to Inventory Management, because it is possible to characterize good movement with serial number.

There is a exit where you can generate a new dynpro. This way you do not have to rename any field that you maight use in the future.
