Hi Samir,
what about a slim solution?
data:
  lt_mng type sorted table of mard-labst
    with unique key table line,
  lv_menge like line of lt_mng.
insert:
  IT_BOM1-LABST into table lt_mng,
  IT_BOM1-MENGE into table lt_mng,
  w_shortb into table lt_mng.
read table lt_mng into lv_mng index 1.
Write:/ 'The minimum batch is', lv_mng.
