Batch Determination in Sales Orders

You should choose batch determination in sales orders when customer requirements take precedence over all other factors (such as stock removal strategies, for example). Use batch determination here, if a customer, for instance, requires a material with certain set specifications.

Contrary to deliveries, batch splits are not possible for sales orders (as opposed to delivery). Even if you have defined a certain number of batch splits in the batch search strategy, the system overrides this default setting.

You use batch determination for the sales order to find batches for set specifications. You can also reserve batches, as requirements are transmitted via the sales order in the same way as they are via the quotation.
