You use this function to create a batch for the material to be manufactured.

You can make the following settings in Customizing (production scheduling profile):

• No automatic batch creation in the process order

• Automatic batch creation on order creation

• Automatic batch creation on order release

In Customizing for Batch Management, you can configure the system so that batch numbers are assigned automatically. If you do not do this, the system will ask to assign batch numbers automatically when you create and/or release the order.
