sales order with material batch managed in one plant & non-batch managed in another plant

[raj44]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement where a sales order requirement needs to be fulfilled with same material batch managed in one plant & non-batch managed in another plant. I know in SAP S/4HANA we can make material batch managed in one plant and non batch managed in another plant and we can do transfer postings as well (material-to-material) transfer.

So for example- sales order quantity is for 50 litres, I have 25 litres of material ABC batch managed in plant A, 25 litres of material ABC non-batch managed in plant B. Therefore, in order to fulfill a requirement of 50 litres, can we transfer 25 litres of material ABC from plant B (non-batch managed) to plant A (batch managed) through a STO process and then fulfill requirement of 50 litres for the sales order from plant A? How can we handle the traceability requirements for 25 litres coming out of plant B (non-batch managed)?

Or is there a better way to handle the Sales Order process?

Please advise. Thanks!

Hello,

I think you can transfer from plant B to plant A. When you do GR in Plant A, it will require batch number. Material from plant B still on non batch, then you only can trace in material level. May be for your tracking when input batch number in plant A your can add prefix 'B' on batch number as an information where the batch come from.

Hi Ahmad,

Thanks for the response. This is helpful. Would you know which exact movt. type we can use to transfer this material A from a non batch managed plant B to batch managed plant A?

Also, this any alternative way to handle this scenario apart from transfer posting/STO processes?

Hello,

you can use movement 301-E for 1 step transfer. If you use PO STO, create PO with account assignment E. I think if you want to transfer with inventory value and amount, you only have 2 options either transfer posting or PO STO.

Thanks a lot! Also would like to check with you, are you aware of all possible options/tools available to upload existing/legacy batches in SAP?
