I_BatchWithPlant_2

Purpose
This CDS view of the batch master record provides both root and plant-specific data, and it is aligned with the SAP business object Batch . This CDS view is intended to replace the CDS view Batch (Successor available) ( I_BATCH ). This CDS view provides the data to answer the following business questions: When will the shelf life of the batch expire? To which supplier can a batch be traced? Where and when was the batch manufactured? Which batches are available for unrestricted use? In which plants has the batch been used? To help you decide which CDS view to use for your purposes, SAP has introduced the annotation ObjectModel.supportedCapabilities that indicates the most appropriate use cases for each CDS view. To find out what use cases are best supported by this CDS view, access the entry of the CDS view in the View Browser app and find the values for this annotation under the Annotation tab. For more information, see Supported Capabilities for CDS Views .

When to Use Which CDS View
Use this CDS view if you are looking for a view that returns information about batches and in which plants they have been used. Use CDS view Batch Information by Batch Key ( I_Batch_2 ) if you are looking for a view that only returns one row per material and batch combination. Consider the following alternatives depending on your requirements: If only the assignment of batches to plants is relevant for you, you can filter out rows with empty plant fields in I_BatchWithPlant_2 . No standard CDS view is available that filters out rows with empty plant fields If only the batches are relevant (irrespective of their assignment to plants), you can use the view I_Batch_2 . If both the batches and their assignment are relevant, you can use I_BatchWithPlant_2 directly. In this case, be aware that a batch may have multiple rows: One row for the batch, with empty plant field One row for each plant assignment
