Copy the from am unsaved goods receipt PO udf into a batches setup

Question

I am trying to copy the value from a from a goods receipt PO udf  that is not yet saved into a batches setup screen through a formatted search . The batches setup  opens when i press the add button in the goods receipt PO because the item uses batch numbers. Because the goods receipt PO is not the current screen, I cannot use variables. Any idea?

I had exactly the same requirement and this is how I solved it.
You will not be able to use a formatted search as the context window when the batches / serial window opens is different and the field from the GR PO are not available.
You need to create a temp table and write a formatted search to insert the value that you want to carry to the Bacth screen from the GR PO on the refresh of the Item Name or whatever in your case.  (If you give me the exact details I can give you the steps)
Once you open the Batch screen the Goods Receipt PO number is available on the top which you can use as referesh to fetch the data from the temp table.
One more important NOTE:  As you know the Goods Receipt No can be the same for more than one user because SBO gives you the next available number.  To get the record exactly pertaining to that user, when writing the data from GR PO you should also insert the $[USER] value which identifies the user.  You may compare this when fetching the data from the temp table on the Batch screen.
Let me know if you need further direction or help
