Batch Determination and Batch Split in Delivery

Batch Determination
In order to determine a batch automatically it is necessary to maintain the batch determination. The batch determination is using the condition
technique to define the access.

Customizing of batch determination

1. Create Condition Table

V/C7 (SPRO > Logistics General > Batch Management > Batch Determination & Batch Check > Condition Tables > Define Sales &
Distribution Condition Tables)
2. Create Access Sequences
V/C2 (SPRO > Logistics General > Batch Management > Batch Determination & Batch Check > Access Sequences > Define Sales &
Distribution Access Sequences)

3.
 3. Create Batch Search Strategy Types
- V/C1 (SPRO > Logistics General > Batch Management > Batch Determination & Batch Check > Strategy Types > Define Sales &
Distribution Strategy Types)
- Define:
> Selection Class: Class (different from batch class) which contains only those characteristics using which batch must be selected.
> Sort Sequence: Using which characteristics, batches must be sorted
> Batch splits: number of allowed batch splits during batch determination
- Assign: Access Sequence to Batch Search Strategy
4. Create Batch Search Procedure
V/C3 (SPRO > Logistics General > Batch Management > Batch Determination & Batch Check > Batch Search Procedure Definition >
Define Sales & Distribution Search Procedure)
Assign: Batch Search Strategies to the Procedure
5. Assign the Search Procedure
V/C5 (SPRO > Logistics General > Batch Management > Batch Determination & Batch Check > Batch Search Procedure Allocation and
Check allocation > Allocate SD Search Procedure & Activate Check)
Assign: Sales Area + Sales Document Type
For deliveries which are not referring to sales order (e.g. replenishment delivery, delivery without reference...), assignment is done to
default Sales Doc Type (TVLK-DAART).
6. Automatic Batch Determination Flag
V/CA (SPRO > Logistics General > Batch Management > Batch Determination & Batch Check > Activate Automatic Batch Determination
in SD)
For Delivery, it's customized in Item Category(TVLP-CHAUT).

Batch Split in Delivery

In delivery, it's possible to assign multiple batches to one item via batch split.

1. How batch split looks like.

2. Relevant fields in delivery

LIKP-KALSM_CH Search procedure for batch determination
(T683C)

LIPS-XCHAR Batch management indicator (internal)

LIPS-XCHPF Batch management requirement indicator When a material is batch managed, both
LIPS-XCHPF and LIPS-XCHAR will be filled.

LIPS-CHARG Batch number

LIPS-UECHA Higher-level item of batch split item When an item has LIPS-UECHA filled,
system won't display it until you click the
expand button on its main item

LIPS-KCMENG Cumulative batch quantity of all split items This field accumulates the quantity of
(in base unit) all its batch split items (accumulation of
LIPS-LGMNG where LIPS-UECHA =
this item's number).
Only main item has value in this field.
Once an item has value in this field,
system will display the "Expand" button
for this item.

LIPS-KCBRGEW Cumulative gross weight of all batch split

items

LIPS-KCNTGEW Cumulative net weight of all batch split items

LIPS-KCVOLUM Cumulative gross weight of all batch split

items

LIPS-KCGEWEI Weight unit

LIPS-KCVOLEH Volume unit

LIPS-KZFME Leading unit of measure for completing a

transaction

How to Update Batch in Delivery

1. Copy from preceding document (SO or STO).If the batch is copied from preceding document, it cannot be
changed in delivery.
2. Set batch or batch split in delivery (VL02n).

3. Set batch in WM transfer order. The batch will be copied to delivery when confirming TO. Batch split
occurs when:
a. Partial quantity is picked.

b. Or several batches are picked.

4. Update batch via idoc (WHSCON / SHPCON, base type DELVRY0*).Please read the online documentation . http://help.sap.com/

Verification of batch split items from the subsystem

If batch split items occur in the central system, the original item must not be reported. Instead, the new items are transferred as
follows:
E1EDL24-POSNR = Item number of batch split item
E1EDL24-MATNR
E1EDL24-CHARG
E1EDL24-LFIMG
E1EDL24-HIPOS = Item number of main item
E1EDL19-QUALF = 'BAS'

If there is no batch splitting, the batch for the main item can be verified.
E1EDL24-POSNR = Item number of batch split item
E1EDL24-MATNR
E1EDL24-CHARG
E1EDL24-LFIMG
