I understand that the SAP standard functionality around SD batch determination. During the outbound delivery creation, the system generates a batch split line during automatic batch determination, this happens even if there is only ever 1 batch for the system to determine. This has consequences in billing as normally the 0 quantity lines show on the invoice and printed outputs.
without automatic batch determination It is possible to manually select a batch on the delivery item without generating a batch split.
I am looking for a method to achieve the results of manually selecting a batch in the delivery (i.e. without a batch split), but for the system to do this manually.
I am aware of several delivery and batch determination user exits and BADIs but I wondered has anybody ever done this or would you advocate against this?
Cheers
