3512697 - Automatic batch determination for componentsdoes not work during production order release

Symptom

Batches are not automatically determined for production orders when releasing the order.

When manually executing batch determination, batches are determined accordingly.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to "Create Production Order" app
  2. Release the order
  3. Batches are not automatically determined

Cause

The issue is caused by missing configuration.

Resolution

To automatically determine the batches for the components, the 'Batch entry' field on 'MRP 2' tab of material master must be filled for the respective materials.

The Batch entry field defines when batches have to be determined when using the PP/WM interface.

This indicator refers to the components of an order, not to the finished product to be manufactured. The following options are available:

  • The batches can be determined when the goods issue is posted.
  • The batches must be entered in the order before it is released.
  • The batches must be entered in the order before the goods issue is posted, but not necessarily before the order is released.
  • The batches are determined automatically when the order is released.
