3649584 - How to set up Batch Determination in Manufacturing scenario

You need to use batch determination in production and process orders and run schedule headers to find suitable material components for the product to be produced, and to pick them from stock. 

This article will provide a brief guide of how to make the configurations.

S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Prerequisites:

• Set up Batch Management for finished and raw materials (APP: Change Material - "MRP" view / "Work Scheduling" view)
• Create BOM and routing/master recipe for the finished material (APP: Create Bill of Material)
• Ensure raw materials have existing batches and enough stock (APP: Display Stock Overview)

Configuration Steps:

1. Create Batch Class (APP: Manage Classes)
   The selection class should be part of the batch class for raw materials in the material master. Some standard characteristics may not need to be entered in the batch class but only in the selection class.
2. Create Sort Sequence (APP: Create Sort Sequence)
   The characteristics in the sorting rule should be part of the batch class for raw materials in the material master.
3. Create Condition Tables (Configuration Activity 103953: Create Condition Tables to Determine Batches for Production)
   A condition table defines the combination of fields that specifies the validity of an individual condition record.
4. Create Access Sequence (Configuration Activity 102170: Define Production Order Access Sequences)
   Access sequence defines an access sequence according to which the system uses to first find a search strategy using the condition table.
5. Create Strategy Type (Configuration Activity 102230: Define Production Order Strategy Types)
   Strategy type defines one search strategy by linking the selection class (Step 1) and sorting rule (Step 2) to the access sequence (Step 4).
6. Define Search Procedure (Configuration Activity 102280: Define Search Procedure for Production)
   A batch search procedure comprises all strategy types that can be used for a particular combination of plant and order type.
7. Assign Search Procedures to Production and Activate Check to Specific Plant & Order Type (Configuration Activity 102431: Define Order-Type-Dependent Parameters for Production Orders)
8. Build Batch Search Strategies (APP: Manage Search Strategies - Production)
