Prerequisites for Batch Derivation

To successfully perform batch derivation, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

Both sender and receiver must be materials subject to a batch management requirement.

Customizing

The following settings are required in Customizing for Batch Management :

a) Batch where-used list

The batch where-used list must be activated with the BaWU synchron.posting indicator (synchronous posting of batch where-used records).

Using the batch where-used list, the system determines the component batches (sender batches) and the batches that resulted from them (receiver batches). When evaluating the batch where-used list, both existing and planned goods movements are taken into account.

You make the settings for the batch where-used list under Start of the navigation path Batch Where-Used List Next navigation step Make Settings for Batch Where-Used List End of the navigation path .

b) Derivation of Batch Data

Batch derivation must be active ( Derivation of Batch Data Activate Batch Derivation ).
Sender and receiver search strategies must be assigned to the derivation events ( Derivation of Batch Data Define Derivation Events ).
If you do not want to use the SAP standard settings for condition technique, you must define your own under Set Up Condition Technique for Derivation .

Maintaining Condition Records

Condition records must be maintained for sender and receiver batches.

There are two options for condition record maintenance:

Logistics Central Functions Batch Management Batch Derivation Condition Record Maintenance for Bills of Material.
Logistics Central Functions Batch Management Batch Derivation Receiver Condition Records/Sender Condition Records Create.
