You can establish a country of origin for a batch or at a general level in the material master record.

Even without a batch assignment, Service Parts Management (SPM) sets the status of a delivery to “complete” so that the batch assignment can be set in the warehouse.

To establish a material as batch-managed, on the
Sales general/plant
tab page of the material master record, you select the
Batch Management
indicator.
On the
Classification
tab page, you must specify an appropriate batch class with the assigned characteristics
SAP_SPE_COUNTRY_OF_ORIGIN
.
To establish a particular country of origin for a material, you use the additional SPM Basic Data subscreen of the material master record to specify the country.
Note
To determine the country of origin, SPM first checks whether a material is batch-managed. If it is not, SPM then checks whether there is a particular country of origin specified in the material master record.
Before the goods issue in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM), SAP EWM determines the batch and the relevant country of origin either manually in the delivery, or automatically at the creation of a transfer order.
In case of multiple countries of origin for a delivery item, batch subitems might be created in the outbound delivery order in SAP EWM. With the transfer of the goods issue message to SPM in the ERP system, the following occurs:
The batch split is applied to the ERP delivery
The batch numbers are assigned to delivery items
To display details about the batches and the stock, you can use the
Stock Overview
transaction in Inventory Management (
).
SAP SPM sends the outbound delivery document with batch and country of origin assignments to CRM Billing so that the data becomes part of the billing due list.
