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 delivery, no search procedure is allocated to any movement type.

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.

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