Batch management :

Batch is maintained at three levels :

At time of GR batch is maintained


Sap prefers to maintain at material level.
We need to assign batch for the material which has stock zero.

We need to assign the class of batch in classification view .

We need to cjeck batch management check box and total shelf life and minimum self life in
plant/storage location .

process flow for batch determination including configuration:

In SAP, batch management helps manage materials produced or received in batches. The steps you
mentioned are essential for defining the rules and logic for batch determination in various processes
such as production planning (PP), inventory management (IM), and sales. Below is a breakdown of
each step:

1. Create Characteristics (CT04)

This transaction is used to create characteristics that define the attributes of batches. Characteristics
could include properties like color, size, expiration date, etc., and are assigned to materials.
Characteristics form the basis of batch classification and determination.

Example:
You could create a characteristic like “Shelf Life” and assign it to batches of perishable goods.

2. Create Class (CL01)

This transaction is used to create classes that group characteristics. You can assign multiple
characteristics to a class. The class is later assigned to materials to define the batch classification.

Example:

You could create a class named "Perishable Items" with characteristics like "Shelf Life," "Storage
Temperature," and "Color."

3. Create Sort Sequence (CUTO)

This transaction allows you to define how batches should be sorted during batch determination.
Sorting rules may consider attributes such as expiration date, production date, or any other
characteristic. Sort sequences influence the order in which batches are proposed during picking or
production.

Example:

You might want to pick batches with the earliest expiration date first.

4. SPRO Path: Batch Management Configuration

SPRO → Logistics General → Batch Management → Batch Determination and Batch Check

This path in the SAP Implementation Guide (IMG) allows you to define settings for batch
determination and checks. It configures the behavior of batch management in different areas like
production, sales, and inventory.

5. Condition Tables - Define Inventory Management Condition Tables (Batch Determination IM)

Condition tables are used to store combinations of fields (like material, plant, or storage location) for
batch determination. You create condition tables to define how the system should search for relevant
batch data during transactions like goods movements.
Example:

You can create a condition table that includes fields like "Plant" and "Material" to define batch
determination criteria for inventory movements.

6. Access Sequence - Define Inventory Management Access Sequences

Access sequences determine the order in which the system looks up condition tables during batch
determination. The system will search for batch records based on the defined sequence of tables.

Example:

If the first table in the access sequence doesn't have any results, the system will move on to the next
table in the sequence.

7. Strategy Types - Define Inventory Management Strategy Types

Strategy types define how batch determination should occur, including sorting rules and criteria for
selecting batches. Each strategy type can include specific sorting rules (based on characteristics) and
access sequences.

Example:

You could define a strategy type where the system automatically selects batches with the earliest
production date for a particular material.

8. Batch Search Procedure Definition - Define Inventory Management Search Procedure

A batch search procedure determines which strategy types and access sequences the system will use
for batch determination in different processes (such as goods issues or production orders). You assign
search procedures to the relevant movement types or order types.

Example:

For goods issue (movement type 261), you can define a search procedure that looks for batches in a
specific order based on certain criteria.
Summary

CT04 (Create Characteristics): Define attributes for batch classification.

CL01 (Create Class): Group characteristics into classes for batch classification.

CUTO (Sort Sequence): Define how batches are sorted during batch determination.

SPRO Path (Batch Determination and Check): Configure settings for batch management.

Condition Tables: Define field combinations for batch determination.

Access Sequence: Define the order of condition table lookups.

Strategy Types: Define how batch determination will occur, including sorting.

Search Procedure: Combine strategy types and access sequences for specific processes.

These steps collectively configure how SAP determines and selects batches in inventory management
and production.
