The material component for which you want to find a batch meets the following requirements:

• It has been defined as being subject to batch management in the material master record.
• If you want batch determination to use different selection criteria than those defined in the batch search strategy, the material component must have been classified accordingly in the material list of the process order.

1. Enter the material quantity for which you want to find suitable batches in the PI sheet.
2. Place the cursor on the process instruction, for example, on the field for the material quantity or the batch, and choose Environment ® Batch ® Find.

The system determines suitable batches and proposes a quantity to be adopted for each batch. Depending on the settings you have made in the batch search strategy, the proposed quantity is:

– Directly copied to the PI sheet

– Displayed in batch determination where it can be changed

3. If required, change the batch quantities you want to copy.

Note the following:

– In simple data requests, you can only copy one batch.

– In repeated data requests, the number of batches may not exceed the maximum number of table lines.
