Symptom
You want to use Product specification without Batch Management (Identified Stock ID).
Environment
Product version: SAP Business ByDesign 2305
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a Material.
- Select the Identified Stock Type for this Material as: "03 - Optional Specified Stock".
- Create a Product Specification and assign to the Material.
- Create a Purchase Order and try to perform Goods Receipt against.
- Now you try to confirm the Goods Receipt without maintaining the Identified Stock ID like to enter the Product specification without .
Cause
The identified stock is optional only if there is no Product Specification. In this case, a product specification is used, hence the identified stock becomes mandatory.
Resolution
You have to maintain the Batch Number. It is MANDATORY to maintain the Identified Stock ID when you are using Product Specification.
System is working as designed.
Since this is the current behaviour of the system, we would also recommend you to approach the Product Management Team with your feature request by lodging an Enhancement Request via the Influence Portal (SAP Business ByDesign - https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/campaign/886).
