Symptom

This SAP Knowledge Base Article list some scenarios that when batch is unique at material level, whether the batch management indicator for material level can be set or removed considering the status of batch management indicator (plant). 

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to app Change Material ( App id MM02 )
  2. Enter Material  
  3. Select Views -> Sales:General/Plant, Purchasing, Plant Data/ Storage
  4. Enter Plant 
  5. Activate/Remove Batch management indicator (field IsBatchManagementRequired in the CDS view I_PRODUCT) 

Resolution

 Scenario 1: Newly setting the batch management flag at Product level ( field IsBatchManagementRequired in the CDS view I_PRODUCT )

                    No matter if the plant has stock/dependencies or not, the batch management indicator at Product level can be set.


                    However, the Product level batch management flag (field IsBatchManagementRequired in the CDS view I_PRODUCT ) should only be copied to plant level

                    (field IsBatchManagementRequired in CDS view I_ProductPlant  ) for plants without stock.


                    The indicator copy process with plant can be controlled in configuration activity Specify Batch Management Default by Plant 101905.

 Scenario 2 : Removing the batch management flag at Product level ( field IsBatchManagementRequired in CDS view I_PRODUCT )

                     If there is even one plant that has stock and where the batch management flag on plant level (IsBatchManagementRequired in CDS view I_ProductPlant  )

                     is set, the material level batch management flag cannot be removed.


                      If one plant that has stock but the batch management flag on plant level (IsBatchManagementRequired in CDS view  I_ProductPlant ) is not set, the system

                      should not check the stock on this plant when removing the batch management flag on material level.
