Where can you update/maintain other Batch Characteristics?

 Other characteristics must be maintained in the batch master record
a) in ERP - MSC2N

b) in Decentral EWM - /n/SCWM/WM_BATCH_MAINT , This transaction is not available in an SAP S/4HANA based EWM

c) Batch characteristics can also be changed during quality inspection in SAP EWM

Where can a Batch be assigned in the Outbound Process?

a) Batch Determination in Sales Orders          →   only 1 batch possible, if Qty is short, S/O remains open.
b) Batch Determination in Deliveries               →   Batch split occurs, and system can pick as many batch as needed to fullfill SO

c) Batch Determination with SAP EWM           →   SAP EWM does not have batch determination functionality

However, the interface can be set up so that ERP batch determination in the outbound delivery is only being used to determine the batch determination criteria that needs to be fulfilled, without assigning a batch. These criteria are then passed on to SAP EWM and used to determine the best quant from a warehouse picking strategy, while fulfilling the batch determination requirement.
