Batch Determination in the Sales & Distribution (SD) module for delivery processing automates the selection of appropriate material batches to fulfill customer orders.

• 📌 Purpose: To ensure that the correct batches are picked based on business rules like FIFO, expiry dates, or specific customer requirements — ensuring quality and compliance.
• ⚙️ How it works:
  • A Batch Search Strategy is configured using condition records, access sequences, and strategy types.
  • During outbound delivery creation, the system automatically proposes suitable batches.
  • Users can manually adjust if needed.
• 🏷️ Example scenario: When delivering perishable goods, the system picks the batch with the earliest expiry date first.
• ✅ Benefits: Accurate order fulfillment, improved inventory management, and reduced picking errors.
