Thanks, It is basically that we purchase items for a specific sales and we need that visiblity (marking just does not cut it especially when the flow goes through several BOm levels and marking is also rather buggy from my experience...). So we will do something like set the batch on the sales order equal to the sales order number and want it to flow through Thanks James

I dont understand the need for planning wrt to the sales order batch numbers. If you book the sales order with the batch numbers it means the material is lying in stock and hence need not planned at all. Please let me undertand your scenario to put my thoughts on.

I know there is marking but this is not visible enough to the user so I would like to look at using batch number. Can any one direct me to where in the code I can look to be passing the batch number on to the next ReqTrans being created in the planning etc? Of course if anyone has any other ides how to address the problem please feel free to share Thanks James
