Manage Batches
Application component: Fiori UI for Batch Management
App type: Transactional
Scope items: Batch Management|Quality Management in Discrete Manufacturing
Description:  With this app you can display and edit existing and create new batches. Using one point of entry, this provides quick and easy access to batch-relevant information and activities. To enable flexible teamwork, new or changed records can be stored as draft versions in first place. All users having the corresponding authorities can find these draft versions using the search or the filter options and can either discard the draft changes or continue the work. 
With this app you can do a quick search for distinct batches with the Enterprise Search or for a range of batches filtered by different criteria. In display mode you can manage existing batches as an inventory manager. Identify time-critical issues in your stock. You are also able to create drafts of new master batch records or changes to existing ones that can be stored on completion of the work.
Key features:    Search for existing batches:   Search for single batches using SAP Fiori Enterprise Search   Search for certain ranges of batches using selection criteria and filter in this app, including the possibility to search for batches that are managed at specific plants.  You can define a default filter for the following fields: Material and Plant    Edit existing batch or create new batch. You can edit batch-relevant information, for example:   Batch status, such as restricted opposed to unrestricted   Dates, such as shelf life or best-before date, date of manufacturing, and next inspection date   Supplier batch information if available   Batch classifications     View batch-relevant information, for example:   Plants at which the batch is managed   Inspection lots of the selected batch   Detailed information about the batch usage, such as shipments   List of past changes of the selected batch     Use the draft concept for changed or new batches: If you create a new batch or edit an existing batch, all changes are saved as a draft version as long as you don't select Save. If you want to re-open a draft version after more than 20 minutes, the system may force you to discard the draft version. This is because the draft version needs to re-lock all data used in the batch entry for all users, for example material data. To limit the time all data is locked, these locks have to be re-acquired after 20 minutes. Draft versions of a batch can be found using selection criteria and filter. If you open a draft version, the system displays a warning, asking if you want to resume or discard the draft version. Trigger follow-up activities. According to your permissions you can use the following apps, for example: Transfer Stock - In-PlantYou can use this app to make the transfer postings for batches within a plant. Stock - Single MaterialYou can use this app to get an overview of your batch stocks. You can review your stock by the plants and storage locations for which you are responsible. Batch Information CockpitYou can use this app for further analysis and control options such as calling up the batch master for changing and displaying master data, classification data, and the batch where-used list containing information about the lifecycle of a batch.   Note The date and time is displayed in the time zone of the client (browser or operating system) that is used. For example, if the app is started on an operating system which uses CET, the displayed date and time is also CET.
