In this IMG activity, you specify for each movement type whether batch classification is possible during goods movements and how it is to be carried out. If classification is activated, the object characteristics contained in the batch class are assigned values automatically.
Furthermore, you can configure the system so that the user-defined characteristics of a batch are classified in the background using a function module exit . You make the settings that are necessary in step CFC for automatic classification of user-defined characteristics.
In the standard R/3 system, batch classification is not active.
