Goods Issue of Batch Material

Use

Batch material can be reserved at three levels for a goods issue:

plant level

The reservation does not specify batches or storage location. You enter these during goods issue posting.

storage location level

The reservation does not specify batches, but it specifies a storage location. You enter the batch during goods issue posting. The storage location is automatically copied from the reservation into the goods issue posting and cannot be changed.

batch level

You want to reserve a certain batch. In this case, you enter a reservation that specifies the plant, the batch, and, if desired, a storage location. You cannot change these specifications during goods issue.

Note Note

Although you can reserve material at storage-location or batch level, all reserved stock is displayed at plant level only.

End of the note.

If, when you enter the goods issue, you do not know the batch number, or if the required quantity is to be taken from different batches, you can enter * in the Batch field:

If batch determination is active, the system displays the screen for Batch Determination
If batch determination is not active, the system displays the screen for Storage Location and Batch Selection .
