The desired original batches are displayed in an overview tree in the left-hand screen area. If you select an original batch from the overview tree, the system displays the batch master record for the original batch in the right-hand screen area.

In this function, you can

Example Example

A manufacturing order effects that a bolt of cloth is dyed blue.

The cloth that was dyed has been produced in-house by your company. To store the attributes of this cloth (90% viscose, 10% cotton), an original batch exists for the corresponding manufacturing order (UC_STOFF_01). The blue textile dye was procured externally; an original batch exists for the relevant PO item (UC_FARBE_01).

Because you are interested in the processed threads of the blue cloth, you want to assign the original batch of the undyed cloth (UC_STOFF_01) to your manufacturing order for dying the cloth.

If you select Assign Imparting Original Batch and enter the manufacturing order for dying the cloth, the system checks the components of this manufacturing order (cloth and cloth dye) for original batches. The system displays both original batches found for you to select. When you select the original batch for the undyed cloth (UC_STOFF_01), you assign this original batch to the manufacturing order.

You can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) VBOB_INHERIT to influence which original batches the system displays for selection.
