Batch management is used in industries like FMCG and pharma to track products produced in shifts or days using unique batch numbers. Batch can be defined at the material, plant, or client level. Batch numbers can be manually or automatically assigned during production order creation or goods receipt. The document provides steps to configure automatic batch creation and classification in SAP during production order creation and release. It also describes how to set up batch determination to display available batches for selection or automatic assignment based on characteristics, classes, strategies, and stock levels.

1. 1
Batch Management & Batch Determination
Batch management is generally used in FMCG and pharma companies. It is generally used for
tracking purpose. The definition of batch varies from industry to industry. In some industry,
batch number is assigned for the products produced under one shift. In some industry, batch
number is assigned based on products produced in a day.
Batch management is applicable in the below scenarios
 Receiving raw materials from vendor
 Production of a finished material having batch
 Issue raw material batches in the production
T Code- MSC1N/MSC2N/MSC3N
Batch can be defined at three levels.
Client- same batch number cannot be used again.
Material- Batch must be unique at material+ batch combination. It is preferred because when
we transfer batch from one plant to another plant then there is no need to create separate
batch and also no need to change the specifications of the batch in the destination plant.
Plant- Batch must be unique at material+ Plant+ batch combination. Here , we have to create a
new batch and new specifications in the destination plant.
Batch can be manually/automatically created at the production order creation or release.
Batch can also be assigned during GR activity.

Scenario- The business wants to create batch automatically at the production order creation by
the system and also perform the classification of the batch.
Settings in the production scheduling profile
Steps
1. Creation of the finished material and assignment of the production scheduling profile
with the above setting
2. Creation of the characteristics using CT04
3. Creation of the class using CL01
4. Assignment of the characteristics in the class
5. Assignment of the class in the classification view of the finished material
6. Creation of the BOM for the finished material
7. Creation of the routing for the finished material
8. Creation of the PV for the finished material
9. Create production order and see whether batch created or not and system prompts you
to enter the classification data or not

Scenario- The system will display the list of available batches for the components in the
production order.
Steps

12. 12
1. I have created three batches of 100,200 and 300 quantities for the raw material USING
MIGO
2. Create a production order for the finished material and see the results

13. 13
Here, we can enter the batch manually by seeing the batch in the MMBE for the components.
There is one more way.
Click on batch determination icon

14. 14
Click continue
Click without class selection
The system is showing available batches for the selection. Pick anyone batch and enter the
quantity and click on copy icon
System is assigning the quantity to the batch having highest quantity

Batch is assigned now
Scenario- There are three production lines in a company. One for manufacturing red paint, one
for manufacturing blue paint and one for manufacturing green paint.
