Hi all,

I would like to know why D365FO generated 2 different batch number for the SAME item in SAME product receipt ?

my case as follow:

1. Created a PR with item 3 ea

2. Approved the PR and generated to PO

3. But updated the quantity from 3 ea to 5 ea

4. Confirmed the PO

5. Generated the Product Receipt for 5 ea

==> there are 1 batch number (say B001) auto generated for 3 ea ; and another batch number (says B002) for another 2 ea

anyone knows why this happen ? and how to set up the batches automatically generate the SAME batch number for same item in same product receipt ? thanks

Hi Phyllispang,

I've executed a few tests. The parameter 'only for inventory transactions' is responsible for creation of the batch numbers per quantity update

If you swich off this parameter, you get one batch number, regardless the quantity update/changes

Hi Phyllispang,

It can have two causes.

1. It can be due to a setting of the tracking number groups, like Laurens mentioned where the field 'Per qty' can have a value.

2. Check the inventory parameter 'Automatic addition' (Tab Inventory accounting). If this is disabled, it will create a new inventory transaction record for the same Lot Id which could indeed generate another batch number.

Hi Phyllispang,

Is there a batch tracking number group assigned to the released product? If yes, can you share a screen shot of the settings?
