Active Ingredient Management and
Batch Balancing
Applies to:
SAP SCN Consultants, SAP ECC 6.0.For more information, visit the Supply Chain Management homepage.
Summary
Materials may contain one or more active ingredients. In addition to active ingredients, the material is made up of carrier materials, such as water and other components such as impurities. These materials are handled in logistics in batch management, using active ingredient management. During Invoice Verification, the system reduces the price proportionately as per the lab result which determines the percentage of Active Ingredient content in the mixture. Depending upon the Process Order quantity, the system selects and adjusts with multiple batches. This phenomenon is called Batch Balancing.

Introduction
The combination of carrier materials and active ingredients is called the physical quantity or mixture. The amount of "active" chemical proportion in the mixture is called the Active Ingredient Quantity.
The active ingredient proportion of the total quantity can vary between batches. However, the ratio in a batch between the active ingredient quantity and the physical quantity remains constant within each batch. This means that when posting, just one of the two quantities must be entered, as the system can calculate the other quantity. The batch qty is always in a std. UOM.
Active Ingredient UOM is maintained in additional data. System does the Valuation Split automatically. Each Batch is the Valuation Split component. Each Batch has a accounting view. Each Batch has a unique price Batch and its unique price has a one is to one relation. Batch Balancing While determining the batch and its qty. BATCH BALANCING, in Process Order the following steps are carried out. System calculates the active ingredient qty from batch qty, depending upon the percentage of Active Ingredient. This percentage is the actual test result which is entered in Result Recording Screen. System proposes different multiple batches of Active Ingredient qty to match the Process Order requirement quantity
This process is called BATCH BALANCING.

1. Process Flow.
1.1. Create Purchase order and do Goods Receipt.
1.2. System generates Inspection lot.
Active Ingredient Qty. – 15 KI1 entered in Purchase Order. Inspection Lot Qty.--> Mixture Qty. – 17.647
Mixture Qty. Active Ingredient Qty. in Purchase Order / Percentage defined in Material Master. 15 KI1 / 0.85 = 17.647.

1.4. Do the usage decision and inventory posting to unrestricted stock is carried out.
1.5. Do the adjustment posting for the GR Inspection lot.

1.7. Material Master Price for the batch
System does the Valuation Split automatically. Each Batch is a Valuation Split component. Each Batch has a accounting view. Each Batch has a unique price Batch and its unique price has a one is to one relation.
Each Batch is a Valuation Type component.
17 Batches are found 17 Accounting View.
Each Batch has a specific Accounting View and a specific Price.

Depending upon the test results the system proposes the new price, according to the actual test result entered in the result recording screen.

As qty. is small, only one batch is proposed.
As the qty. is more, system proposes 4 batches.
Sorting of Batches and batch split can be defined as per the requirement of the user.
System calculates all Batches Qty. in KI1 – UOM, according to the Potency
And required qty. is balanced in 4 Batches. Any number of Batch Split can be defined.
Here we have defined 4 Batch Splits. It checks the availability and selects the Batches.
This process is known as BATCH BALANCING. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
