Documentary Batches in Production 

In confirmation functions, the user is taken to the goods movement overview where documentary batches must be entered for materials that are subject to a documentary batch management requirement. You cannot save a confirmation until you have entered documentary batches.

Because it is not possible to enter documentary batches in reprocessing you must always enter documentary batches in the confirmation.

When the confirmation is saved, the system first generates a temporary batch where-used record. When the goods movement is posted, this record is then converted into a “real" batch where-used record.

Planned goods movements are displayed in the batch where-used list with the following symbol:   (Temporary Allocation).

So that the planned goods movements are displayed, you must select Planned Goods Movements in the initial screen of the batch where-used list.

If an error in the goods movements occurs during posting, the system generates a postprocessing record that you can post in Automatic Goods Receipts: Error Handling (transaction COGI).

The temporary batch where-used list is not converted into a "real" batch where-used list until postprocessing has been carried out successfully. This is also valid for postprocessing of Predefined Confirmation Processes (transaction CO1P or report CORUPROC).

 

You can use the following functions:

·        Confirmation for production order

You can only enter documentary batches when you confirm orders and not during order maintenance.

Documentary batches are not supported in any of the following production or process order confirmation methods: Collective entry, mass processing, fast entry, BAPI confirmations and BDE confirmations (KK2 and PP-PDC interface). 

·        REM backflush

In backflush functions, the entry of documentary batches for components that are subject to documentary batch management requirement is always carried out via the goods movement overview.  The system always displays the goods movement overview, regardless of whether the user chooses  Post or  Post with correction.

¡        REM Backflush (MFBF)

Separate backflush is not possible if the entry of documentary batches has been defined for components of the material to be backflushed. Because you cannot enter documentary batches for additional postings in the background, the system does not allow you to save.

¡        Collective Entry of Backflushes (MF24N)

The Collective Entry of Backflushes with transaction MF42 is not supported.
