Sorry, you will need to enable batch dimension and make code changes.

I think the name of the method is createBOMRoute? I think this method is on 
reqTrans.

Thanks Harry once again for your help

I tried with Batch number turned on for coverage but the batch number would not 
flow into the BOM line items, am I missing some setup that can allow this (I 
thought I would have to enable this as well as do some code change but your 
reply seems to suggest otherwise)?

I am not sure of performance at this point but there is not a huge number of 
demand requirements or production orders so I am still tempted to go down this 
route, any idea where to start looking at the code to pass on the batch number 
to BOM sub items?


Also taking your idea of scrolling up the pegging I guess I could also use it 
to actually populate the batch number field once the master planning has run 
right? I.e. actually have a value in the batch number field rather than just a 
display method.

Thanks
James

If u need it on the planned production orders then most likely you will have to 
enable planning by batch dimension. Either you do this or modify code to 
achieve the same effect. It will kill performance either way.
Otherwise at the time of firming you can just scroll up the production order 
hierarchy to find the sale order and hence the batch number. Since the number 
of firmed orders are very less this should not mucho effect on performance. 
Another advantage will be very few code changes.
If you really really want it on the planned orders you could write a display 
function to scroll thru hierarchy. Remember to display this field on any tab 
other than the overview tab.
You do have a headache when multiple requirements are grouped together for e.g. 
multiple sales orders or minimum stock and sales order etc.

Batch number of production order and sub-items.
Do you also need them for planned production orders? Or rather is it a

AX marking to go by (and all its many realted problems)

So there are 2 places for the flow through of batch number the way I see it:
1) During master planning when the system sees that the planned production 
order has a batch number it should pass the batch number on to the planned 
actions for the sub items (whether the action be a another planned production 
order or a planned purchase order). So basically the batch number flows all the

2)If the user creates a production order directly from the sales line, the 
batch number for the production order should be set from the sales line adn the 
the batch number on the production order's picking list lines should be 
populated with the batch number on the production order headed (finished good's 
batch number)

I think point 1 is the trickier bit but again I think its just I need to find 
the code where the batch number is not passed on to sub items in a BOM so I 
hope someone familair with the master planning class might be able to help 
point me in the right direction

Hello James,

I can't answer your question regarding planned orders but we are doing
something similar so I thought I'd describe that and maybe it is of
some help.

We know our batch number when we create the sales order - in fact we
are using the sales order number as the batch number.
So when a sales order line is created, we have modified the code to go
to the batch number table and create a new line.
The modified code then also inserts the batch number in the existing
field on the sales order line.

At the moment we are always creating a production order from the sales
order.
We do not use planned orders in our process.
And the batch number is automatically passed from the sales order to
the production order (this is standard Axapta functionality).
I do not know whether this same facility exists to pass the batch
number to a planned order and then on to the purchase order - sorry.

I should also add that our modified code has a bug we have not yet
been able to isolate, where occassionaly, the batch number, although
created, does not get added to the sales order.
This is each to then add at receiving time so is not a huge issue for
us - probably partly why we haven't fixed it yet.

 It is basically that we purchase items for a specific sales and we

 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
