    How to Manage Batch Numbers

    Purpose

    Management of batch numbers entails tracking groups of items with unique numbers and characteristics that

    have been combined in a single batch, such as pharmaceutical products. For each batch, you define itemquantities, as well as additional properties, such as expiration date, location in warehouse, and so on, thatare related to the batch.

    The work method is as follows: during inventory receipt transactions you create batches for items requiringbatch management, and during inventory release transactions you select a certain quantity from the relevantbatch.

    Batch management enables you to update existing batches for an item. You can sweep the batches and addor change batch details. In addition, you can enter batches for received items if you did not do so whengenerating marketing and stock entry documents. However, this is only possible if your company allowsreceiving into stock items without a batch number.

    Defining General Settings

    You can define the default batch management method and batch status settings for new batch items.

    Procedure

    1. From the SAP Business One Main Menu, chooseAdministration System Initialization General

    SettingsInventorytab Itemstab.

    2. From the Management Method dropdown list, select one of the following methods for assigning serialnumbers and batch-managed numbers to items:

    On Every Transaction- Definition of batches for an item is mandatory for every inventorytransaction.

    On Release Only- Definition of batches for an item is mandatory for inventory releasetransactions only. It is optional for other transactions.

    3. From the Basic Setting for Batch Statusdropdown list, choose one of the following options:

    Released This status lets you work fully with the batch.

    Locked This status lets you work with the batch in inventory documents only. Thesedocuments include inventory transfers, goods, and production issues.

    Not Accessible This status defines batches in the mid-production process or during thequality check, and, therefore, such batches cannot be released in sales documents or in an A/Pcredit memo. However, they can be released in inventory documents, such as inventorytransfers, in a similar way to a locked batch.

    This status is used mainly in reports, to distinguish between locked batches and not accessibleones.

    NOTE

    The status you choose appears as the default in the Item Master Datawindow when you createnew batches.

    4. To save your changes, click the Updatebutton.

    5. You must define each item you want managed by batches. From the SAP Business One Main Menu,

    choose InventoryItem Master Data General tab.

    6. Choose an existing item or create a new one.

    NOTE

    Items managed by serial and batch numbers must be inventory items (they cannot be onlysales items or purchase items). Therefore, those items cannot be defined as phantom items.

    7. To manage this item by batch numbers, from the Manage Item bydropdown list, choose Batches.

    8. The Management Methodfield is displayed only if the option to manage the item by serial numbers orbatches was selected in the previous field. The default for new items is set according to the definitionin the System Initializationwindow, as explained earlier.

    From the Management Methoddropdown list, choose one of the following options:

    On Every Transaction Batch numbers must be selected for an item for every inventorytransaction.

    On Release Only Batch numbers must be selected for an item for inventory releasetransactions only.

    Setting Authorizations

    For information on authorizations required for batch numbers, see the document How to DefineAuthorizations in Releases 2007 A and 2007 B, which you can download from the documentation area ofSAP Business One Customer Portal (http://channel.sap.com/sbocustomer).

    Assigning Batches in Assembly BOMs

    Procedure

    If there are child items with batch numbers management in an assembly bill of materials, proceed as follows:

    1. In the sales document, press CTRL+TABin the Quantityfield of the parent item or use another way toaccess the Batch Number Selectionwindow.

    The Choose S/N and Batches "XXX"(assembly BOM name) window opens. This window displaysthe assembly bill of materials with its batch number-managed child items.

    2. Click the link arrow to the left of the Quantityfield to open the Batch Number Selectionwindow,displaying the available batch numbers to choose for the same child item.

    NOTE

    A similar process takes place for a disassembly bill of materials (negative parent quantity), butthe Unavailablebatch numbers are displayed.

    3. Select batches and choose the Updatebutton to save your changes.

    NOTE

    If the same document contains additional items with batch numbers management, excluding anassembly bill of materials, those items are displayed separately from the BOM in the BatchNumber Selectionwindow.

    Assigning Batches in Draft Documents

    If a document is saved as a draft, and batch numbers are created or selected in that document, thosenumbers are saved in the database, as well. The numbers have no influence on the status of batches(Released, Not Accessibleand Locked).

    You can save a draft document without creating or selecting batch numbers. Saving batches in a draft does not create allocations for the assigned numbers and does not change

    their status. In other words, if such numbers are saved in a draft document, SAP Business Oneignores that saved information in all other aspects of the system.

    When you create a regular document from a draft, SAP Business One checks if there are any savedbatches for the item that exist in the system. If such numbers are found, the application does not addthe document and displays an error message. You need to reassign batch numbers for the relevantitems in the document.

    After you create a regular document from a draft with batch numbers, the saved numbers are removedfrom the draft, as if the draft was saved without batch numbers. If you assign new batch numbers to aclosed draft document, those numbers are saved with that draft until a regular document is createdfrom the closed draft.

    Using an Allocated Batch in a New Document

    An allocation can be removed only from the original allocating document. If you attempt to select batchesthat are allocated elsewhere an error message is displayed.

    Procedure

    1. From the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose InventoryItem Management Batches BatchDetails.

    The Batch Detailswindow opens.

    2. Choose the relevant item.
