This blog introduces the solution process for creating multiple batches for a production order and using the same batches for a Goods Receipt on the same production order.
Background:
The company uses production orders to convert industrial materials into commercial materials which are both handled in batches. Each batch represents a physical unit which usually contains (say) 100 PCE of a material.
A production order should be able to create multiple batches (of commercial material), batches equal to the number of components used in the production order and it was also required to inherit the batch characteristics from the industrial materials batches (component material batches) to commercial materials batches.
Currently, SAP is not able to create multiple batches within a production order, but as a default setup the production order can create one batch for all the components used in the production order creation. And SAP is also not able to inherit the batch characteristics into the new created batches.
Solution:
The solution process proposed in this blog is a two-step process, although there are many ways of doing it, the solution that worked out for me is described below.
The first step in the solution process is to create multiple batches for a production order. It is described in detail in document Creating multiple batches for a production order.
The second step is detailed in document Automate distribution of quantity in MIGO which in specific deals with the process of relating the multiple batches (created in the above step) to the production order by automation of the quantity distribution process of a Goods Receipt with repect to a production order in MIGO.
