Present Situation
Customers store the batch related information:
in different SAP ERP systems,
Example: In one SAP ERP system the batch was produced and delivered to another SAP ERP system in which the packaging takes place and the delivery to the customer.
in SAP ERP systems and non SAP systems with different levels of granularity,
Example: Higher data granularity in the ERP systems e.g. the batch characteristics relevant for the batch determination in the ERP processes and very detailed data granularity in LIMS or MES systems like the process parameters a batch was produced with (e.g. temperatures, etc.).

Problem Statement
To get the complete history data for a batch with all details it is necessary to go to different systems, different reports and transactions.
There is a high fault probability to consider all relevant objects and transactions in the different systems manually. Even if there is only one SAP ERP system used.
Scenarios
Case A: One ERP SystemCase B: Multiple ERP SystemsCase C: One ERP Systems / Multiple Non SAP Systems (Shop Floor Systems)Case D: Multiple ERP Systems / Multiple Non SAP Systems (Shop Floor Systems)

Legal Requirement – EU GMP § 9 Guideline
The companies must take legal requirements regarding "good manufacturing practice" into account. An example from the EC Guide to Good Manufacturing Practice for Pharmaceuticals (EU-GMP § 9):
The manufacturer shall have a system of documentation based upon specifications, manufacturing formulae and processing and packaging instructions, procedures and records covering the different manufacturing operations that they perform. Documents shall be clear, free from errors and kept up to-date. Pre-established procedures for general manufacturing operations and conditions shall be available, together with specific documents for the manufacture of each batch. This set of documents shall make it possible to trace the history of the manufacture of each batch. The batch documentation shall be retained for at least one year after the expiry date of the batches to which it relates, or at least five years after the certification referred to in Article 30 (2) of Directive 81/851/EEC, whichever is the longer.
When electronic, photographic or other data processing systems are used instead of written documents, the manufacturer shall have validated the system by proving that the data will be appropriately stored during the anticipated period of storage. Data stored by these systems shall be made readily available in legible form. The electronically stored data shall be protected against loss or damage of data (e.g. by duplication or back-up and transfer onto another storage system).

BASF AG User Report on Implementing the Batch Information Cockpit (BIC)
Stephanie Hügel BASF IT ServicesArmin Eisenhauer BASF AG
“The Batch Information Cockpit (BIC) is a central control panel with extensive, batch-specific analysis and control options that take the strain out of batch management.”
“There are two different user groups, each with different selection criteria, for accessing the BIC. This ensures that the user is only presented with that data that is relevant for a particular decision.”
8
© SAP 2009 / Batch History – Ehp4 release/ Page 8
Application Example:Selection Screen
As of SAP Enterprise, selection criteria for a user group can be stored using a selection variant. This means that it is no longer necessary to enter the selection criteria manually for each selection.
The Batch Information Cockpit provides the user with concrete support when dealing with the following issues:
Analysis of slow-moving items / remaining shelf life in the warehouse
Availability to promise (ATP) check, with a display of active ingredient quantities
Analysis by different batch characteristics: Dutiable goods stockPalletization, container numberUsage decision quality controlQuality characteristics, such as type-related / not type-relatedBatch specification suitable for customer / not suitable for customerBatch specification suitable for country / not suitable for countryWhich batches are provided by which suppliers?
