In SAP S/4HANA, when a raw material batch has a quality deviation and has been used in production, you can trace its impact on finished goods using batch management tools:
* Use the Batch Information Cockpit(B): The Batch Information Cockpit (transaction BMBC) provides a centralized view of batch data, including where-used information. By entering the raw material batch number, you can trace its usage through production orders (e.g., CO03) to identify all affected finished goods batches in stock (e.g., via the "Batch Usage" tab).
* Use the batch where-used list(C): The batch where-used list (transaction MB56 or embedded in MSC2N, "Batch Usage" function) tracks a batch's consumption across production orders or material movements (e.g., goods issue 261). It shows the hierarchy from the raw material batch to finished goods batches, pinpointing affected stock (e.g., in MMBE).
Batch determination(A) (e.g., in COB1) is for selecting batches during production or sales, not tracing past usage.Batch derivation(D) (Customizing, Logistics - General > Batch Management > Derivation) transfers batch attributes from raw to finished goods but doesn't identify affected stock retrospectively-it's a forward process. This is per SAP's batch traceability features.
