To update where-used data in SAP Global Batch Traceability (SAP GBT), you can use transaction /GBT/EVENT_COLLECT to execute report /GBT/R_EVENT_COLLECTOR in SAP GBT.
For integration with SAP ERP, you must have installed integration component GBTRINT. For more information, see section Prerequisites. This integration component supports the following integration mechanisms:
Every time a material document is created in SAP ERP, a new entry in the batch where-used list (table CHVW) is also created. A prerequisite for this is that the material is subject to batch management requirement and the movement type is relevant for batch where-used records.
Additionally, an entry in the transfer table for SAP GBT in the integration component GBTRINT is created.
Report /GBT/R_EVENT_COLLECTOR in SAP GBT transfers the following via remote function call (RFC):
The batch where-used information from the transfer table
The relevant attributes of the connecting business documents related to the batch where-used information, for example, the relevant attributes of the production order related to a batch
The following figure illustrates these integration mechanisms:

All material movements relevant for the batch where-used list (table CHVW) in SAP ERP are also relevant for SAP GBT. In addition, SAP GBT considers further material movements of batch managed materials between locations, which are not considered in the batch where-used list. For more information, see SAP Note 1706299.
For integration with SAP ERP as of release 6.0, you must have installed integration component GBTRINT.
