purchase orders in the following goods movement scenarios:

Rules
The following rules apply:
For new target batches, common batch characteristic values from the source batch are copied
to the target batch
For existing target batches, batch characteristic values of the target batch are not overwritten
Batch characteristic inheritance between batches only works when the source and the
target batch numbers are available in the same movement type.
