Use

Batch-Related Object (BRO) types are business objects like production order, purchase order, and so on. There are three types:

  1. SAP defined BRO type
  2. Customer defined BRO type (in SAP system)
  3. Customer defined BRO type (External Object type)

In this IMG activity, you do the following for SAP BRO type:

  • Define Batch-Related Object (BRO) types
  • Assign user groups to BRO types
  • Assign events and attributes to BRO type/Event combination

Requirements

The administrator must assign and activate a user-group to the selection tab Batch History. For more details, refer Define User-Group-Specific Selection.

  1. Choose New Entries.
  2. Enter the required BRO type in the table.
  3. Enter the relevant data in the columns Table Name and Field Name.

The BRO type is defined and activated. The following table includes the table and field names for all BRO types. This table is maintained in the customizing by the administrator.

  1. Check the Active indicator.

On implementing the report program, RVBOBJTABUPD, the relevant information is stored in the index table TOBJ_D_INDEX. The report program RVBOBJTABUPD creates a dynamic query based on the information in customizing settings maintained for each BRO types.

Note: The table name for Batch Master BRO type depends on the batch level. At Plant level, enter MCHA and at Material/Client level, enter MCH1.

  1. Choose the BRO type.
  2. Goto the user group from the Dialog Structure.

You will be assigned a user group by the administrator in order to retrieve the batch history data. The user group contains the accessible BRO types.

  1. Choose Events from the Dialog Structure for the same BRO type.
  2. Enter one of the events, CRTD (Created) or CHGD (Changed) from the Events tab page.
  3. Choose Attributes from the Dialog Structure.

Note: The Changed event is applicable for those BRO types wherein Changed Event Date is maintained as a field in the table for the respective BRO type.

Mandatory and arbitrary attributes are defined per event/BRO type combination. Material, Batch, Plant and Event Date are mandatory attributes. You can define a maximum of 10 arbitrary attributes.

  1. Select the corresponding table name and the field name for the attributes.

Further Notes

Customer Defined BRO Type (SAP System)

In case, you have created a business object in the SAP system as Z object containing a batch, then you have to follow the standard steps mentioned similar to SAP Defined BRO Type. All the customizing entries are defined for standard BRO type. Hence, no implementation is necessary as the standard functions updates and retrieves from the index table.

Customer Defined BRO Type (External Object Type)

In some cases, you have other external systems other than objects defined in SAP system wherein you have maintained the batch data. These objects in external systems are referred to as External BRO types. Then, you must use the external system for execution and store the production relevant information in the external system.

To define external BRO types, do the following:

  1. Follow steps as in SAP Defined BRO Types.
  2. Check the External indicator.
  3. You can define the external batch related object types in the Customizing activity Define External Batch-Related Object Types.
