Characteristic

Description and Use

LOBM_BWTAR

Valuation type (only for class type 022 = batch level at plant level).

You can use this characteristic as a criterion for batch determination if your batches are assigned characteristic values separately.

LOBM_LVORM

Deletion flag

If you no longer use a batch, you should flag it for deletion in the batch master record. Use batch reorganization runs regularly to delete all batches flagged for deletion. A reorganization run deletes all batches flagged for deletion if they have no more stocks. The deletion of a batch does not affect the batch where-used function.

LOBM_QNDAT

Next inspection date

This characteristic refers to the next inspection date stored in the batch master record. It is determined using the date of the last goods receipt and the inspection interval stored in the material master record.

LOBM_VERAB

Availability date

You use this characteristic, for instance, for batches whose contents must first mature or be held before they can be processed further or sold.

LOBM_VFDAT

Expiration date

Use this characteristic if you work with the shelf life expiration date (SLED)/expiration date.

LOBM_ZUSTD

Status

If batch status management is activated, you can work with this characteristic to use the batch status ( restricted or unrestricted ) as a selection criterion.
