Production order backflush - Batch determination

Question

Hi,
We are following discrete manufacturing with backflush setup for auto GI of materials.
The entire flow is functioning smoothly, like
1. Creation of production order & release to production.
2. Auto goods issue upon first operation confirmation.
The qty of goods issue is automatically taken from component qty in the order. This works fine for some materials with out any Batch information.
Where as for those materials require match information, upon order confirmation system throughs an error
1. "Error in material 75-106674A41 order 8200019041 item 0001"
2. "Enter Batch"
Confirmation is through, after we enter the batch details manually.
How to auto determine  the batch information. Is there any setting that will eliminate the manual batch input.
Please help and provide me  the steps / setup required to AUTO select the batch details.
Thanks in advance.
Raj.

Hi,
you have to configure the foll settings in IMG for the batch determination to happen automatically.
IMG – Logistics general - Batch management – Batch determination & batch check  – strategy types
1.Define prod order strategy type –
   (you can use CO01 - assign Class type : 023  & name of the class here , also assign sort rule created in step4 CU70 here )
IMG – Logistics general - Batch management – Batch determination & batch check  – Batch search procedure definition
2.Define Prod order search procedure (you can use CO0001 in std)
IMG – Logistics general - Batch management – Batch determination & batch check  –
Batch search procedure allocation & Activation check
3.Assign the search proc to prod order and activate check (same as OPL8)
IMG – Logistics general - Batch management – Batch determination & batch check  – Define sort rules
4. Create sort sequence CU70
5. Create Batch search Strategy  COB1 & Assign Sort rule here
Now you can trigger batch determination in Prod order.
