Batch Determination Process Guide

The document discusses configuring batch determination in SAP. It covers: 1. Defining sort rules and selection classes to determine the sorting and criteria for selecting batches. 2. Allocating defined batch search procedures to application parameters to activate batch determination and enable batch checking. 3. Assigning batch search procedures to sales document types and combinations to determine batches for orders and deliveries. 4. Activating automatic batch determination for order and delivery item categories so that batch determination runs automatically when entering order or delivery items.

Batch determination important point

Sort sequence
The sort sequence tells you whether objects in the search result of the find object function are sorted in ascending or descending
order of characteristic values.

Sort rules are used during automatic batch determination. Meaning the system will sort the batches in ascending or descending
order as defined in the [Link] will ensure that the batches are consumed in FIFO or LIFO pattern.

Define Selection Classes


In this step, you define selection classes.  With the help of these selection classes, you define according to which criteria,
that is, using which characteristics, batches are to be selected.
As a rule, all characteristics (this applies to standard characteristics as well as to user-defined characteristics) you want to use
for selection must also be contained in the batch class. Characteristics LOBM_RLZ and LOBM_LFDAT are an exception; they
can be used for selection but not for classification.

Standard settings

The following characteristics for defining selection classes are defined in the standard system:

 LOBM_BWTAR valuation type (only if batches are unique at plant level)

 LOBM_LFDAT delivery date

 LOBM_LVORM deletion flag

 LOBM_VERAB availability date

 LOMB_VFDAT expiration date/Shelf life

 LOBM_ZUSTD batch status

 LOBM_QNDAT next inspection date

 LOBM_RLZ remaining shelf life

Batch Search Procedure Allocation and Check Activation


In this section, you allocate the search procedures you have defined before to the application-specific parameters. Batch
determination becomes active as soon as you make the allocation.

Furthermore, you can activate batch checking.  You can use this check if you want to enter batches manually in a business
transaction and have the system check whether these batches have the required specifications. For this check, the system uses
the selection criteria stored for batch determination.  If you want to use batch checking you must have allocated a batch search
procedure to the respective application-specific parameters.  You can use this function in all applications except Warehouse
Management.

Allocate SD Search Procedure/Activate Check


Use

In this work step, you assign batch search procedures to the individual combinations of sales organization, distribution channel,
division, and sales document type for which batch determination is to occur, and activate the batch check.
Activities

1. Assign a search procedure to each combination.

2. Set the batch check indicator if you want the system to check all batches entered manually.

Note
Batch determination in delivery

If a deliver is used without reference to a sales order, you must have done the following in order to execute batch determination:

 Defined the default order type for the delivery type (Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Deliveries -> Define Delivery
Types)

 Assigned the default order type to a batch search procedure

Activate Automatic Batch Determination in SD


In this step, you activate automatic batch determination for order and delivery item categories. When entering an order item or a
delivery item, batch determination is triggered automatically.

Activities

Set indicator Auto batch determin for those order and delivery item categories for which you want batch determination to be
triggered automatically.
