Capturing third party manufacturer for the batch

Question

Hi ,
we are in the business of Pharma Products trading and marketing , as per business requirement we need to capture third party manufacturer for particular batch.
The scenario is as follows -
Our Company - Raise PO to Vendor A for Material  Mat001 -  this vendor A takes same product from any of his own vendors  X, Y , Z .( third party manufacturer)
Now the requirement is when we receive goods from Vendor A for MAT001 , it may have multiple batches and these batches may come from one or different sub vendor of A .  During GR we need to capture this sub vendor of Vendor A or say third party manufacturer .
Please provide possible solution

Answer 1

You can use batch characteristics. Make a class (type 023) and assign a characteristic to it (with approprite description).
Assign this class in the material classification view.
Now you can maintain the 3rd vendor's batch number in the batch characteristic (in MSC2N)
