Executing Batch Splits in Deliveries 

Batch split describes the situation when you want to specify quantities from more than one batch for a particular delivery item. The batch split function in the delivery includes a batch selection screen and an availability check. In addition, batch processing is linked to the SAP classification system, enabling you to select batches according to classes and characteristics. For more information about the classification system, see CA Class System.

Master Data

In Materials Management (MM), you can specify basic data for each batch, such as available from and expiry dates, and data about the origin of the batch. For more information about creating master data for batches, see Batch Processing.

Splitting Batches in a Delivery

To carry out batch split in a delivery, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      In the delivery, mark the item for which you want to split batches and choose Goto  ® Item ® Batch Split.

The overview screen for batch split items appears.

       2.      Select the required batches by using batch determination.

The relevant quantity is proposed by the system and it can be assigned to the delivery item.

       3.      Enter the split quantity for the required batches until you have assigned the entire requirement quantity, and choose Copy.

The system creates batch split items for the selected batches.

The open quantity is decreased by the assigned quantity.

       4.      Choose Back to return to the delivery overview screen.

In the case of delivery items with a batch split, the quantity that has been picked or put away is determined for each individual split item. If you want to maintain or check this quantity for split items, you must switch to the batch structure view for the relevant main item by choosing the + button.
