To carry out the batch where-used list function, you need the batch where-used file. You must start the program for building up the file in the following cases:
If you do not use synchronic posting of the batch where-used file.
If you introduce the batch where-used list function at a later stage and want to work with synchronous posting. In this case, you have to start the program once to build up batch where-used records for existing material documents.
You will find further information in the section
Make settings for batch where-used list
in Customizing for
Batch Management.
In Inventory Management, select
Enter an interval for the material document numbers.
Run the program.
The program creates:
Either a receipt record or an issue record for every relevant material document item, depending on the movement type.
A log of the new batch where-used records
A log of the records that are already available
It takes into account only those material document items whose plant permits the building up of the batch where-used file.
