I have a problem with Batch Split.
Current inventory for raw material A:
| Batch | Quantity |
|---|---|
| 0000000001 | 20 KG |
| 0000000002 | 30 KG |
An order that requires 40 KG of material A was created and released.
Under normal scenarios, the material will be split in such a way whereby the header batch will have 0 requirement quantity and the split batches will have non-zero requirement quantities that the total equals to the required quantity for the order as shown in the table below:
| Component | Reqmt Qty | Unit | Batch | Batch Key | Committed Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 0 | KG | 1 | 0 | |
| A | 20 | KG | 0000000001 | 2 | 20 |
| A | 20 | KG | 0000000002 | 2 | 20 |
However, in some of my orders, the requirement quantity for the header batch is non-zero and this caused confusion for warehouse because the header batch line without a batch assigned got printed out in the pick list. For example:
| Component | Reqmt Qty | Unit | Batch | Batch Key | Committed Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 10 | KG | 1 | 10 | |
| A | 20 | KG | 0000000001 | 2 | 20 |
| A | 10 | KG | 0000000002 | 2 | 10 |
I have checked in the system and found that out of a total of about 5000+ split batches, only 36 had this problem.
How did the header batch end up getting a non zero requirement quantity?
I tried to replicate but is not able to as the system will be able to split the batch properly.
