Batch MGMT

This document describes a building block for batch management and derivation in SAP. Batches are uniquely identified at the material level using class type 023. Internal batch numbers are automatically generated using user exits. The Batch Information Cockpit is used to analyze stock and batch data according to chemicals industry needs. Batch derivation allows setting expiration dates based on the production date of bulk materials rather than shelf life in the material master.

Q02 - Batch Management (incl.

Batch Derivation)
Purpose

This Building Block contains all necessary settings for Batch Management
(incl. Batch Derivation).

In SAP Best Practices for Chemicals all materials except packaging materials
(material type VERP) and spare parts for Plant Maintenance (material type
ERSA) are managed by batches. Batches are unique at material level (class
type 023).

Internal number will be assigned to all batches during goods receipt and
manufacturing. The appropriate batch number will be generated
automatically by using standard user exits.

For analysis of stock and batch data Batch Information Cockpit (BIC) is used.
The selection screen for BIC is designed according to the needs of the
chemicals industry. Batch Information Cockpit is a powerful tool for selecting
and displaying the available information about individual batches. You can use
this information to react quickly to inquiries or problems and to meet legal
requirements.

SAP Best Practices for Chemicals also shows how Batch Derivation can be
used. In SAP R/3 the expiration date is based on the production date and the
total shelf life. This refers for purchased materials (the date of production is
entered at goods receipt), as well as internal production of materials (date of
production from a process order). The shelf life of a material is a fixed time
span in the material master and cannot be defined on the batch level. In SAP
R/3, the production date is defined as the date of goods receipt from a
production order.

This does not comply with the requirements in the chemicals industry, where
the production date is defined as the date when the bulk material was
manufactured first time. If a bulk is used in the production of the finished
product (e.g. packaging of paint or granulte into boxes), the expiration date of
the finished product is usually the expiration date of the bulk material,
independent of the shelf life determined in the Material Master of the finished
product.
