Editing Vendor Batch in EWM Inbound Delivery.

 Current Challenge: More often than not, most of the customers requires maintenance of the Vendor batch for certain components due to traceability reasons. For these materials, the Vendor Batch has to be maintained in the EWM Inbound delivery before the goods receipt Posting. The materials are not batch managed, there is no batch created during the goods receipt process.

Inbound deliveries are created in advanced based on the ASN, and are distributed to EWM.In case the Vendor batch is not included in the ASN, the Vendor Batch/Supplier Batch needs to be maintained in the Inbound delivery in EWM during performing goods receipt.

This was not possible in SAP Standard, the field Vendor Batch is not editable in the Inbound delivery in EWM for materials that are not Batch managed. But it is available in VL31N to enter Supplier batch for non batch managed item. When ASN is received it is directly synchronized to EWM, and therefore Inbound delivery in S/4 cannot be changed and vendor batch cannot be maintained in S/4.

Solution Available from S/4 HANA 2022 & S/4 HANA 2023.

SAP released a latest note 3421025 - Editing of Vendor Batch Number in EWM Inbound Delivery for not batch managed materials. With this note, its now able to register 'Supplier/Vendor batch in EWM inbound delivery for non batch managed products.

Vendor batch field becomes editable after note implementation for non batch managed item. Please note the vendor batch here is not stock attribute and hence cannot be viewed at stock level. This is purely for traceability.

The note is applicable from S/4 HANA 2022 & 2023 version.
