Batch Determination Process in SAP MM

In SAP Materials Management (MM), batch determination helps identify the right batch for a specific material movement, considering criteria like stock availability, expiry dates, and quality specifications. Explore the Batch Determination Process in SAP MM. Here’s the breakdown of the process:

Configuration:

1. Condition Tables: Define tables containing data relevant to batch selection, like production date, shelf life, or special characteristics.
2. Access Sequences: Define the order in which the system checks different condition tables for specific criteria.
3. Sort Rules: Determine how data within each condition table should be sorted (e.g., FIFO, LIFO, FEFO).
4. Strategy Types: Define rules for batch selection based on specific scenarios (e.g., goods issue to production, delivery to customer).
5. Search Procedure: Combine multiple strategy types in a defined sequence for complex selection criteria.
6. Assignment & Activation: Assign the search procedure to relevant movement types (e.g., goods issue, transfer) and activate the batch check.

Material Master Data:

1. Batch Classification: Assign classification characteristics to each batch in the material master record.
2. Batch Valuation: Set valuation data for each batch (e.g., price, expiry date).

Execution:

1. Trigger: Batch determination is triggered during various MM transactions like goods issue, production order creation, or delivery creation.
2. Criteria Evaluation: The system evaluates the defined search procedure, considering strategy types, access sequences, and sort rules.
3. Batch Selection: The system proposes the first suitable batch based on the defined criteria.
4. User Intervention: Users can accept the proposed batch or manually select another based on specific needs.
