Introduction
This transaction serves the following purposes:
A material is both batch- and serial number-managed in SAP ECC/S4, and it must be determined how the material will be managed in SAP FSM (in SAP FSM an item can be managed only either by serial numbers or batches, not both).
A material has a serial number profile / batch management indicator assigned in SAP ECC/S4 but should be transferred to SAP FSM as Normal item (neither serial number-, nor batch-managed).
Note that this transaction doesn’t serve the purpose of a filter. Items not matching any customizing entry will be transferred to SAP FSM with properties described in the Default processing chapter (see below).
Default processing
1. By default, if no relevant entry is maintained in transaction /PACG/ECM_IBS, materials with a serial number profile assigned will be transferred to SAP FSM as managed by serial numbers.

2. If no serial number profile is found for the material, but batch-managed indicator is set, the material will be transferred to SAP FSM as batch-managed.

3. If batch-management indicator was not found, search table MBEW for an entry with the relevant material, plant, not empty valuation type and total stock greater than zero. If such an entry is found, the material can be transferred to SAP FSM as batch-managed.
Enabled by setting ‘Check MBEW’ in transaction https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/resumedraft.action?draftId=31953999.
4. If neither serial number profile, nor batch indicator is assigned to a material in SAP ECC/S4, the item will be transferred to SAP FSM as a regular item (neither serial number-managed, nor batch-managed).

Overwrite the default processing
The default processing can be overwritten by a relevant customizing entry in transaction /PACG/ECM_IBS.
BMR | Specify if the customizing entry is relevant for materials with Batch management indicator assigned |
|---|---|
Profl. | Specify for which serial number profiles (assigned to the transferred material) the customizing entry is relevant  |
Item type | Serial - transfer the material as serialized to SAP FSM Batch - transfer the material as batch-managed to SAP FSM Normal - transfer the material as neither serialized, nor batch-managed to SAP FSM |
Use case 1 - If a material is both batch- and serial number-managed in SAP ECC/S4, determine how the material will be managed in SAP FSM
In SAP FSM an item can be managed only either by serial numbers or batches, but not both at the same time. Therefore, this transaction can be used to determine if a material with batch indicator and a specific serial number profile should be transferred to SAP FSM as batch managed (by default it would be transferred as serial number-managed).
Use case 2 - If a material has a serial number profile / batch management indicator assigned in SAP ECC/S4 and should be transferred to SAP FSM as a Normal item (neither serial number-, nor batch-managed).
It might be desired to transfer a batch- or serial number-managed material as a regular, normal item to SAP FSM. In such a case, set Item type to Normal for a specific combination of serial number profile and batch indicator.
