Enter Documentary Batches 
Use
You can:
· Post materials that are subject to batch management requirement, documentary batches and materials that do not have to be batch managed in one document
· Enter multiple documentary batches per document item
If you have defined a quantity check in Customizing, the system checks whether you have correctly distributed the quantity to be posted, across documentary batches. (The quantity to be posted is not automatically distributed across documentary batches.)
You cannot change the unit of measure that is proposed by the application for the documentary batch.
Prerequisites
Procedure
You must manually enter the batch number online. If it is possible to determine the batch number using a particular logic, (for example, a combination of filling line and time stamp), you can allow the system to enter this number using the BAdI VBDOCUBATCH.
1. Enter the documentary batch in the function.

If you want
to enter more than one documentary batch, choose 
Detail: Documentary Batches.
2. The system displays a dialog box. You can also enter multiple documentary batches on the Batches tab page.
You have the following options:
¡
Choose 
(Append Line), to add a
line.
¡
Choose 
(Duplicate Line), to copy
lines.
¡
Choose 
(Check Entries), to check whether the
batch number entered is allowed. (This check is only carried out if you have
implemented the method BATCH_NUMBER_CHECK in the Business Add-In
VBDOCUBATCH.)
In Customizing, you can define the number of lines that the system proposes as a default on the detail screen.
If you have made the necessary Customizing settings, the system also checks whether you have distributed the quantity to be posted correctly across the documentary batches. The system displays the result of this check in a message.
You can define in Customizing that the system automatically creates a batch master record in the background on goods receipt.
3. Save your entries.
