Batch Management
Batch management is used to identify a material by unique number that possesses some
specified information
Client’s business requirement is to procure material (Diffuser) which has to be identify sepa-
rately with different specifications (Size, Shape, Colour) for that as a consultant we would
suggest to client to use batch management to separate material with its specification.
STEP-1
Create Characteristics
T-CODE: CT04
1) For Diffuser Size
I have selected numeric
format so I can able to
enter numeric values
Here I have entered Size of
my material in value tab.
2) For Diffuser Colour
Here I maintained character format
so I can define it by colour.
For Size I’ve selected multiple values
here so while classification I will be able
to put multiple sizes there.
Here I have entered colour
of my material in value tab.
3) For CFM air flow
Format and no. of decimal place should
be like this while entering the values.
STEP-2
CLASS: Is a group of characteristics we can store at one place
I have assigned my three characteristics with the class: Z005_CLASS
T-CODE: CL01
For Batch Management we
have class type 032
Path to configure Batch management
STEP-3
Creation of condition Table for batch determination
These are the fields on which
I want to perform Batch
management.
STEP-4
Creation of an ACCESS SEQUENCE
With new entries I have created Z005 as access sequence.
STEP-5
Create Sort Sequence
T-CODE: CU70
I’ve created new Sort sequence
Within this sort sequence I have
maintained characteristics which I
had created and I can able to pro-
vide sequence to characteristics.
STEP-5
Create Strategy types
Here I have assigned class, sort se-
quence and access sequence to
strategy.
STEP-6
Define Search procedure
Here we need to assign Pro-
cedure to strategy.
STEP-7
Allocate MvT to Batch determination
In this STEP we allocate batch search procedures to
those Inventory Management movement types for
which batch determination is to be carried out.
STEP-8
Prerequisites for including batches for material it is necessary to all stocks must be clear
and no open documents for that material.
T-CODE: MM01/MM02
For assigning class and character-
istics it is necessary to extend
material with classification view
Classification view
I’ve selected all the values
of the character as per re-
quirement.
Likewise done this with all
other characteristic values.
Purchasing view
It’s mandatory to click checkbox
on batch management to add
this material for batches.
STEP-9
Manual Batch Creation
T-CODE: MSC1N
I have created batch manual-
ly for material with these
three particular specifica-
tions.
STEP-10
Create Purchase Order (PO)
T-CODE: ME21N
In the PO I maintained batch which I’ve created, from
which vendor will understand which particular specifica-tion
of this material we are ordering for.
Goods Receipt
T-CODE: MIGO
Stock Overview
T-CODE: MMBE
Here we can see our
batch is shown in stock
Automatic creation of batches
Now I’ve not maintained batch
As I’ve not maintain batch in PO while goods receipt
system will automatically generate batch number for
particular specification of that material.
While receiving the goods, store in charge
should maintain the particular specification in
classification tab of batches otherwise while
receiving other goods with same specification,
system will generated unnecessary batch for
same specification.
Internal and External Number Ranges Path for batch management from where system
is picking up internal number range and allows making external number range.
The number ranges are maintained at
client level in T-CODE: OMAD
Stock Overview
T-CODE: MMBE
Here we can see I have stock
all three batches one which I
have created and other two
are system generated.
