Same Batch numbers from different suppliers #31211

What if We received different Product with same numbers from supplier? (ERP will not accept same batch numbers)

Such a common and sensible use case, all my clients complain about this unique constraint, implemented as one would expect in every other softwares I tried, yet blatantly ignored here.

As per my opinion, In that case a simple identification can be added in the batch name to differentiate. Mixing them up will be issue in both stock and accounting ledger, if both suppliers have supplied the batches at different rates then valuation can be a issue.

PS: Batch-wise valuation is a issue on which devs should work.
