3400017 - No automatic batch determination for Process/Production orders (EWM Integration)

Symptom

The automatic batch determination is not executed for process/production orders components. The issue only happens for components that are maintained in EWM relevant storage locations.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. A process order or production order is created and all configuration is set up correctly for automatic batch determination.
  2. When confirming the order, no batch is determined automatically for the components.

Cause

The issue happens because storage location is EWM relevant, the stock should be managed with EWM layout instead of IM anymore.

You can check the configuration in the SSCUI below:

  • Configure SAP EWM-Specific Parameters

The details are available for each warehouse number:


Resolution

Once the storage location is EWM relevant, the EWM is at the upper hand. The stock should be managed with EWM layout instead of IM anymore.

Please refer to the following information, it is the standard design to do batch determination at EWM.

  • Batch Determination in EWM via Batch Attribute Replication

    Batch determination in SAP ERP can be used to automatically determine a specific batch during outbound delivery creation. In a scenario together with SAP EWM batch determination within SAP ERP might not be optimal as SAP ERP does not take the SAP EWM warehouse layout into account during batch determination.

    If this flag is active (BatchDetEW), automatic batch determination during outbound delivery creation runs without specific batch selection, but does only replicate the batch selection criteria to SAP EWM, where then a batch search is executed.

  • Use
    1. Creation of outbound delivery in SAP ERP
    2. Automatic batch determination during outbound delivery creation without specific batch selection, but replication of batch selection criteria to SAP EWM
    3. Batch Search in SAP EWM according to the replicated batch selection criteria from SAP ERP and the warehouse layout

Please note that flag "BatchDetEW" is set as default. It is NOT editable.
