Hi All,

Table of Contents

What is mean by Batch Determination in the Production Orders?

Business scenario

Configuration data to be maintained for Batch Determination

Define the Condition Table

Define Access Sequence

Create the Search Strategy

Create the Search Procedure T Code: OPLG

Assign Search Procedure in Order Type Dependent parameters (OPL8

Create PP Master Data

Create Batch Determination Master Data

Create the Batch Search Strategy using the T Code: COB1

Selection Class can be created using the T Code: BMC1/CL02

Sort Rule can be created using the T Code: CU70

Transaction data

Create the Production Order using the T Code: CO01

Release the Production Order using the T Code: CO02

Perform Batch Determination of the Components using T Code: CO02

Goods Issue to the Production Order using T Code: MIGO

Confirmation of the Production Order using the T Code: CO15/CO11N

Goods Receipt of the Production Order using the T Code: MIGO 

Automatic Batch Determination in the Production Order

Batch Determination is the Process, by which system is able to assign/propose the suitable Batches for the Batch managed components in the Production Order, which meets desired Selection Criteria/business requirement

In the Production of the Finished Material (Ex: FG-BATCH), using one of the Batch managed component (Ex: RM2-BTACH), System should pick up only those Batches, for which Country of Origin is maintained as US (USA), & also if there are more than one Batch, those selected Batches should be sorted by the Ascending Order of their Self Life Expiration Date, during the Batch Determination Process manually.

Create all the necessary PP Master Data. Ref. the below Master data used in this scenario

Finished Material: FG2-BATCH Component Material: RM2-BATCH BOM: 00000287 Work Center: MACHINE1 Routing: 50000055 Production Version: V001 With the Organizational Data      >>>       Plant: 1010 & Storage Locations: 101A & 101B Create the material Master for the Header Material as well as for all the components required to produce the Header Material using the Transaction Code: MM01

Note: For all the Batch managed component Materials, you need to make sure

Material Master of the Header Material # FG2-BATCH

Material Master of the Component Material # RM2-BATCH

Create the BOM, for the Header Material # FG2-BATCH, using the T Code: CS01. With one Component # RM2-BATCH, which is Batch managed material (As Example)

Create the Work Center using the T Code: CR01

Create the Routing for the Header Material using the T Code: CA01

Create the Production Version for the Header Material(Ex: FG2-BATCH) T Code: MM02/C223

Search Strategy contains the Selection Criteria & Sort Rule to be followed

Please keep it in mind, at least one of the Characteristics of this Selection Class should be the same with the Classification of Characteristics in the Material Master & also maintain the Value for at least one or more characteristics in the Selection Class (As shown below)

Production Order: 1003102, Created >>> As of now, no batch number is assigned for the Header Material & also for the component Once, the Order is Release, System will assign the Batch Number for the Header Material (As per Production Order Scheduling Profile settings maintained)

Select the Line Item, for which Batch Determination to be done & & Click on Batch Determination Icon

Then in the Next Screen, System will pull up all the Batches which meets the Selection Criteria. Also, selected batches are sorted as per the Sort Rule maintained

Stock updated in the respective Storage location

For this functionality of automatic Batch Determination of the Component Materials in the Production Order, need to maintain for the Batch Managed Component(s), in the Material Master, in MRP 2 View, with the Batch Entry Option =3. Rest of the above settings remains the same.

With this setting, System assigns the Batch Number automatically, for the Component Material, during the Release of the Production Order
