Check of XML Messages for Missing Batch Numbers
In the work order configuration, the customer can determine that the supplier must specify batch numbers for finished products or components when the supplier reports actual data. The supplier can send actual data using XML messages. SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) automatically checks XML messages for missing batch numbers. For more information about required batch numbers, see Master Data for WO Collaboration with Batch-Managed Products.
Prerequisites
The Batch Number Is Specified
(WO_BATCH_ID_MISSING
) validation check is active. This validation check checks if the XML message provided a batch number for a batch-managed product for which the batch number is mandatory according
to the work order configuration. In the standard system, the validation check is active.
Note
The validation check is not relevant for batch numbers that the supplier enters on the work order Web screens: On the Web screens, the supplier is always requested to enter a batch number if work order configuration requires a batch number.
