Batch number in purchase order

[former_member181995]

hello,

When we create a purchase order we maintain the batch number with respective of materials.

But problem is when i give to create a report to ABAPER for purchase order m not getting to table for purchase order which contains the batch materials.

I searched a lot in EKPO and EKBN but i cudnt find where batch number going to be stored.

Thanking You.

Dear Amit,

Its quite illogical to demand a particular Batch of Product before procurement from Vendor. Normally the Batch field in the PO is to mention the colour of the product to be purchased from a Vendor. The colours of the product are basically maintained through MSC1N transaction with a material, storage loation, valuation type and a colour. Thats why you are able to see the drop down characteristics in the field provided in the PO.

This automatically gets populated from batch master, thereby it can be selected during the PO creation. This particualar data gets stored in the MCHA and MCHB table.

If you really want to maintain the vendor batch number, that is quite possible only during MIGO.

Regards,

DilliB

If batch management is active, it is logical that a batch number is assigned upon Goods Receipt. If Quality Inspection is mandatory, the Usage Decision will finally determine what happens to that Batch.
