To trigger batch determination for goods issues, proceed as follows:

    1. the movement type
    2. the plant
    3. the storage location

    Now choose ENTER . The system branches to the screen Enter Goods Issue: New Items

     

  2. In this screen enter the following data:
    1. the material
    2. the quantity required
    3. an asterisk (*) in field Batch
    4. other data depending on the movement type

     

  3. Now choose ENTER . Here, the system carries out either
    1. an unspecified batch determination or
    2. a specific batch determination

Unspecified Batch Determination

All batches found for a material are displayed after an unspecified batch determination.

The system carries out an unspecified batch determination, if no search procedure is allocated to the movement type. In the standard R/3 System, no search procedure is allocated to any movement type.

Note

When you post a goods issue, the system checks whether the stock is physically available. The actual availability of the stock is determined by the availability check, if it is activated.

Specific Batch Determination

The system carries out a specific batch determination, when a search procedure is allocated to the movement type. The system tries to find a suitable search strategy in the search procedure, in order to determine appropriate batches.

Note

If a search procedure is allocated to a movement type, you cannot carry out an unspecified batch determination.
