BATCH MANAGEMENT (GOODS ISSUE BY FIFO & FEFO STRATEGY)
Q- What is batch management?
➢ Batch management can be defined as tagging an alphanumeric or numeric code to the
material produced or procured by their unique characteristics.
➢
batch management is applicable for FMCG (Fast moving consumer goods) materials. here we
can split the production or procurement quantities in to number of batches based on the
date and time of production.
Q- What is batch?
➢ A ‘batch’ is the quantity of material produced in a run of production. It represents a
homogenous unit with unique specifications and is a subset of the total quantity of material
held in stock which managed separately from the other subset of the same material.
➢ all the materials (in house or external) are identifies through batch during goods receipt and
goods issue.
Q- Why there is a necessity to handle Material in a batches?
➢ batch will be useful to identify the correct materials and if there is any failure of materials
we can able to identify the root cause by drill down batches.
We can maintain batches at 3 levels.
1) Plant Level: - At a plant level, batch number is unique for a material inside a plant only. The
same batch number can be generated at another plant under the same company, though
these batches are not the same. If we trying to do plant to plant stock transfer then plant
level batch numbering is not suitable.
2) Client Level: - At this level batch number is unique for the entire client, means same batch
no will not be generated for different plant under the same company code.
3) Material Level: - At this level batch number will be unique at the material level only so
different materials have same batch number.
SAP HIGHLY RECOMMENDS TO MAINTAIN THE BATCH NUMBER AT MATERIAL LEVEL ONLY.
Here we will see how batches will create and how we can issue the material by using FIFO & FEFO
strategies.
STEP 1 : CREATE CHARACTERISTICS ( CT04) :
For the strategies FIFO & FEFO we are going to use MCH1 Table which is for batch management.
