Purchase Order receive, auto generate batch numbers - Problem with multiple inventory transactions

Hi,

we have set up a Tracking Number Group for our Items that are Batch Tracked in order to automatically generate the Batch Number on purchase order receive.

We have seem that after converting planned purchase orders from master planing it could happen that one purchase order line as several inventory transactions, probably in order for master plan to be able to follow up.

If we make a receipt of this purchase order, several batch numbers will be generated althoug we only have only 1 purchase order line but several inventory transactions in status "ordered" are linked to this purchase order line.

There is a way to assure that the system only generated 1 batch number for the purchase order line and not 1 batch number per inventory transaction associated to the purchase order line on product receipt?

Thanks

When I select Marking "None" when firming the Planned Purchase Order, I do not get several inventory transactions generated on the purchase order lines. That would work for me but I unknown which consequences would have not to have marking on the generated purchase order line (Option Standard).

Hi Pedro,

You can also check the Inventory parameter 'Automatic addition'. If this is disabled, it will more easily create multiple different inventory transactions. When you enable this parameter, it will sum up the inventory transactions by physical voucher, date, financial voucher, date and inventory dimensions.

Thanks André but we had this already activated. I think the cause is that some planned purchase lines have diverse sources of demand in the MRP as I can see in pegged transactions. When using Marking "Standard" diverse tx are created so probably the system can follow up. With Marking "None" seems solved but I have to check if that have inconveniences later in automatic reservation.

Hi,

How is 'On physical update' set in the batch number group?

Thanks

We found the cause of the problem. The purchase orders come from planned purchase orders that were pegged to multiple transactions. If we use standard marking, the system creates the purchase order lines with so many inventory transactions as pegged transactions. For each transaction will be created a batch number. Not ideal. We are going to avoid marking for this purchase orders, not sure if later we get problems with automatic reservation.
