Step 4 Batch ValuationThis step is used

to maintain batch characteristic values while creating batches in the background

(automatically) or manually in the foreground. Batch characteristics are also useful when
batch determination functionality is required during goods issue. The batch anyways inherits
the material characteristics / class for which it is created.

Step 5 Batch DeterminationIt uses the

standard sap access sequence search strategy. Over here, strategy type is like condition type
in pricing. The following screen shows how to set it up.

Click on the above node and the list of existing strategy types will appear.

A new strategy type can be created here,

preferably a copy of one of the existing strategy type. These strategy types are then used in
Batch search procedure definition as shown below.

The batch search procedure configured above, now needs to be allocated to IM movement
types.

Step 6 Define Sort RulesThis step determines, as the name suggests, a rule is created to sort
the batches during batch determination. This sorting happens based on the characteristics
defined for the batch.
Step 7 Master Data SettingIn material master, batch management indicatory needs to be
set if the material is to be handled in batches.

The condition type / strategy type for batch determination needs to be maintained. The T
Code for the same is MBC1.

The key combination displayed above

(for T Code MBC1) is as per the access sequence configured under batch determination and
batch check.
Shelf Life Expiration Date Check:
This can be enabled as per the node below.

The system allows the date check to be

activated at Plant Level and at Movement Type Level.

Very useful information...

I have a question.
When I work with SAP with spanish language (my native language), the batch
determination doesn't work. But when I change it to english (with Tx SU3) it works
perfectly. There is something I'm missing?
Hope you can help me

Re point 2 - MB52 with 'display batch stocks' selected is user friendly for current stock,
showing material/batch/qty. Alternatively, tables MCHA, MCHB, MCH1 contain info for all
batch records - depending on how batch numbering in configured in your system. MCHBH
contains batch history by period.
.

For points 1, 3 and 4, if I understand the meaning of your terms, then you can use MB51
with the appropriate movement type to get info. What do you mean by 'released' - if this is
from "Q" to Unrestricted then MvT 321 is required. What do you mean by 'packed' - for a
sales delivery (IM MvT 231/WM MvT 601)?, packed from manufacture?, put away into
warehouse stock? etc.. What is meant by rejected"? - return to supplier?, fail quality?,
scrap? - these are all dealt with differently, and (can) have their own movement types. If
you look at the list of MvT types this should help you.
