Automatic Serial numbers

Experts,
We serialize our laptops. When ever we place an order for laptops vendor supplies laptops those are serialized in an order, and mentions first and last serial number. At the time of GR Store Clerk wants to enter First serial number in that lot and wants system to generate rest. How can I handle this. Is there any configuration behind this. Please answer as soon as you can.
Ex: PO for 10 laptops
Vendor supplies 10 laptops with serial numbers 12380 to 12389, Store clerk wants to enter just first serial number i.e. 12380 system should gernerate rest. This process should happen for all the subsequent PO's as well. For the next order vendor sends 12760 to 12769, Store Clerk wants to enter just 12760, system should generate rest.
Thanks in advance,
Arun

In transaction OIS2 , make the ser usage should be 4
Hope it may helps........

How to insert automatic, serial numbering in Illustrator CS, v. 11

I am trying to create a series of raffle tickets and would like to have each ticket identified with a unique number, generated in order--so that the first ticket reads "number 1", the second ticket reads "number 2", etc. I know how to do this sort of thing in word-processing programs, but I can't find instructions on how to do this in Illustrator. I am working on Windows XP and am using Illustrator CS, version 11. I would be grateful for some guidance. Thanks.

There is no such feature in Illustrator.
However,
this page
describes an AI Javascript I hacked out for a similar purpose. Take a look at the scripts named JET_SerialNumbers.jsx and JET_NumberedCallouts.jsx.
Alternatively, since you know how to do it a word processor, etc., you can also do it using FillDown in Excel, copy and paste into Illustrator:
1. Open a new Excel file.
2. In the first cell, type "Number 1".
3. In the next cell below, type "Number 2".
4. Select both cells. Drag the Fill Down handle downward as many rows as you want.
5. Select the column. Copy.
6. Switch to Illustrator. Paste. Ungroup.

Maxium number of serial numbers in delivery document (VL02n)

Hi
Can anyone know what is the maximum number of serial numbers that can be entered in delivery document (VL01N/VL02N)? I tried generating (automatically) serial numbers with line item quantity 999999 and system generated shot dump. Do let me know if there are any OSS notes for this.
Thanks in Advance for your immediate feedback.

HT4865 When using. " find my iPhone". It uses the apple ID. Anybody can reset any device ( automatically resetting the apple iD as well . Thus turning the device as if was bought brand new or was given to somebody as a gift. Serial numbers can't be res

Why can't we track serial numbers and not the apple iD. Since serial numbers can't be reset or erased. ?

Unfortunately it is in both Apple's and your carrier's economic interest to not provide such a feature. One would think that with all the technological capabilities that apple has provided us with that they would be able to do this as well. That's the point here, they are able to do it, probably quite easily; but it's economically beneficial to them if they don't. Remember, Apple doesn't provide the find my iPhone app as a pre-downloaded application, you have to do so yourself. One may say this is for privacy reasons, but there are clearly other reasons as well. So, Apple has no incentive to add such a feature unless it becomes an issue (customers demanding it or other companies providing such a feature). Thus as consumers we need to make this an issue that apple must address. I too lost my iPhone. The fact that Apple doesn't provide a feature such as allowing one to "flag" their device as stolen and thereby preventing that device from being unlocked, reset in itunes, or immediately turned into a tracking device when turned on is pretty frustrating and ridiculous. Apple provides very limited functions in their native find my iPhone app, and yet there are many more features it could provide. I'm aware of apps that provide far more capability, such as preventing shut down, taking pictures, taking audio/video recordings, remote backup, photo capture after failed unlock, call log, sms forwarding, and even constant GPS tracking. My point here is this, Apple can easily provide features that would further enable you to recover your apple device but there isn't an incentive to and there is actually economic incentive to not provide such features. We need to provide them with the incentive to do so, or else it is likely to never happen.

Is it possible to make my serial numbers same as the project automatically

iPods do not work with "accounts." They work with your iTunes library. You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod. One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time. iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content. Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to? If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library. Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library. You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.

hi,
In order to maintain customer specific serial numbers you can do the following steps:
1. Maintain the serial numbers provided by your client in tcode IQ01. this will create the customer serial numbers in the system.
2. In the material master under Sales View maintain the serial number profile as 0002. this is sap standard.
3. Once the above has been maintained you can assign serial numbers at the time of delivery and NOT in sales order.
I hope this helps.

In Purchase Order Line item Maintaining Serial Numbers for Material Codes

Dear Gurus,
We have a business process in legacy system for Purchase Order like in PO line item, Material code with description, Quantity, unit of Measurement, Serial Number Start and Serial Number End is maintained, for example for Material code when we enter the data AXMLN00001 in Serial Number Start column, if the Qty 500 is maintained, by default system will calculate AXMLN00500 in Serial Number End column.
We understand that in standard SAP we donu2019t have this option of maintaining Serial Number Start and End in Purchase order Line item. Please let us know how this can be mapped and is it advisable to create two Z fields in EKPO table or else can we make any development.
Suppose if this is not possible in SAP for PO then in Banks if we want to place a order for Cheque books how we can maintain Start and End Serial Numbers to print in cheque books.
Also client is not agreeing to maintain manually Serial numbers in item text.
regards,
Dhanu

Aamir,
When the PO Item was created say for example Material had Valuation category "Y" and latter you wanted to change the category to "Y". Now system would have check for all open PO's etc...based on this you must have set Deletion Indicator to this Line Item to allow valuation category change in material master. Now when this Item got created in the table level (EKPO), system updates the valuation category "Y". Currently this valuation category is not active so it would not allow you to perform removal of deletion indicator as program cannot automatically nor you have an option to manually update the valuation category to this Item.

Prasobh

Serial numbers for subcontracting process

Hello Experts,
We are using SAP ECC 6.0 and trying to implement the subcontracting process with serial numbers. This scenario is focused on those materials that we need to keep track on how many times it has gone to repair (for example, a motor) by specific item. Suppose there's a material called "Material A". However, there are MANY "Motor A"'s, and thus, the need for serial number to keep track on the number of repairs each one has had.
So, having said that, the scenario is working so far. However, the user CAN'T type in the serial number of the material at the REQUISITION LEVEL. This can be done at the PO level and at the goods receipt level.
This brings a problem since the Purchasing dept. doesn't know the serial number. This information is known by the user, but there's "serial number" functionality in the requisition. Is there a configuration for this? Could it be possible for the serial number to be in the requisition and then inherit it to the PO?
We want this in order to automate the process.
The configuration we made was in the "Plant Maintenance and Customer Service" section, using procedures MMSL "Maintain goods receipt and issue doc." and POSL "Serial numbers in purchase orders". There's no procedure for purchase requisitions. If this can be also done from a Work Order, that will be just fine.
Let me know if it is possible or if you have any idea on how to do this.
Regards,
Gilberto Gallardo.

Hi,
Serial no can be used for the following business transactions.
1. Goods Receipt/Goods isssue and other inventory postings.
2.sales orders and delivery notes
3.maintenance orders
4.production orders.
Settings:
1. create a serial number profile in customising.
2. Assign the serial number profile in the material master record in work
scheduling view for fert and raw material in plant data / stor2 view..
Business procedures may be assigned in configuration to a serial number profile.
The assignment to the serial number profile determines if serial numbers are required , can be assigned, must be assigned,are assigned automatically
MMSL : Goods issue , receipts,stockj transfers,stock transport orders

Import of bulk serial numbers with Goods Receipt

Hello
I need to create an Add-On that automates the creation of Goods Receipt PO documents with linked serial numbers. Using the DI API I manage to create the Goods Receipt and link about 1000 serial numbers to one document without any problems. When the item qty (and linked serial number qty) goes beyond 10,000 it crashes (probably runs out of memory).
I know an alternative would be possibly using the DI Server. Has anyone ever done this with such big volumes? Not sure if the DI Server would be able to handle say 100,000 serial numbers, at a time.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jéan

Thanks Gordon.
This is not good news. I am just concerned as the SDK help on DI Server specifically states:
"Business partners can use the DI Server for the following main scenarios:
==>> Heavy duty operations, such as batch"
I assume this is the same type of "heavy duty operation" as a data take-on would be? Or does it mean that B1's serial number management is limited to small quantities at a time.

Serial numbers from PO(ME21N) to be updated in standard VL10B deliveries

Hi,
New to enhancements and need help.
I have Purchase Orders created in ME21N. But material specific serial numbers are entered in Texts as this enhancement wasn't implemented prior prod release. Now we needed seralization to be implemented. Configuration is done and I've finished an enhancement where internal serial numbers are associated with product serial numbers specific to the PO. This works fine if we are manually creating TO and delivery in foreground.
My issue comes with, is there any way we can create internal serial numbers for materials (particular materiall types specified in the configuration) if the delivery has been created in VL10B using either BAPI or function module or online in background.
All i need is an idead or clue as to how it can be implemented.
I can trigger an enhancement in VL10B, but should I use an implicit enhancement. Or is there an User Exit or BADI for this.
Any suggestions please
Thanks and Regards
Naveen Vajja

Thanks Eduardo. I'll def look into that.
Update though. I've already done implementing this by setting
automatic = 'X'.
in SAPLIPW1. If you want a detailed explantion. I can help with this.
Though for 'Return orders', this won't work.
For this CSD will be entering the serial numbers of return materials in texts of PO which get transferred to delivery.
For this updation, in PAI modue of SAPLMEGUI (VL10B), we need to update these serial numbers (FM READ_TEXT) from texts into SAP internal serial numbers. Please correct me if my approach is wrong.
Need suggestion for this.
Thanks

Creation of Recurring Inspection Lots with Serial numbers

Hello,
We have the following scenario at our client :
MIGO_GR is used to create GR for materials with Serial number requirement. The serial numbers can be generated automatically or manually entered on the screen. At this point of time, the Shelf Life expiry date & Next Inspection date are calculated based upon the Production date. The Batch gets created with Next Inspection date, Inspection Lots are created and the Serial numbers are assigned by the system. The stock moves into QI.
The stock is moved from Quality restricted to Unrestricted stock via QA11. The serial numbers are handled by the system or can be managed on screen.
Transaction QA07 (Deadline Monitoring of Batches) is used to create Recurring Inspection. QA07 gives error message IO304 that "Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 1". The problem is that system doesn't pick up the corresponding serial numbers.
OSS # 497845 mentions that Transaction QA07 can not handle serial number. The serial numbers are very critical to the business process.
Has anyone come across this situation before ? Please suggest solution or workaround. I tried using BAdI "INSPECTIONLOT_UPDATE" & was able to create Inspection Lots with serial number assignment, also manipulated Batch to change the Next Inspection date. The problem is Material Movement (322) Document does NOT get created.
Also tried implementing BAdI as per OSS # 608830 but doesn't give desired results.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Homiar Kalwachwala.

Hello all,

IDOC message type WMMBXY not including Serial numbers in GR material documents when created with reference to an Inbound delivery

Hello,
We currently have an inbound ALE process (message type WMMBXY and basic type WMMBID02) to post GR's against inbound delivery. If the inbound delivery item is maintained with serial numbers, we want those serial numbers to be pulled into the goods movement material document (and stored in SER03).
Currently segment E1MBXYJ is maintained with the inbound delivery number in field VLIEF_AVIS and Inbound delivery item number in field
VBELP_AVIS. In segment E1MBXYI, no purchase order is assigned and the fields EBELN and EBELP are blank. The movement indicator (KZBEW) has the value 'B'.
Even after making the above settings, the serial number(s) maintained on the Inbound delivery item do not get saved to the material document.I did look at OSS note 833603 (Solution for 2 - GR for Inbound delivery) and we have followed the same settings. This works when there is no serial number in the Inbound delivery. However if we have serial numbers, the IDOC posts successfully, however the material documents in MB03 do not have any serial numbers copied over from the Inbound delivery where the serial numbers are definitely assigned.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ashvin
P.S
If we manually create the GR via MIGO, the serial numbers are automatically applied to the GR material document. This is what we want to accomplish via the above IDoc process.

Hi
Try with enhancement MWMIDO08. See note 833603 - EDI: Goods receipt for stock transport order for further information.
I hope this helps you

Eduardo

Inbound Delivery (WM) with Serial Numbers and HU's

Hey,
I want to use Serial Numbers with Handling Unit Management in WM.
I want to use MIGO to GR a Purchase Order and then Auto Pack the Inbound Delivery.
I also want to be able to Auto Pack the HU's with the Serial Numbers that i enter into the WM tab of the MIGO transaction.
I post the GR of my PO and get my inbound delivery. The delivery is Packed onto an HU ... BUT the serial numbers i enter are not present in the HU ?!?
Does anyone know if this is possible via MIGO? or is this available only when receiving IM deliveries??
thanks,
Adam.

Hi Nagesh,
The process will be to use transaction MIGO for all goods receipts, therefore i would like to automate the Inbound Delivery Create AND pack process so that we minimise the amount of user input.
Once we have entered the GR for the PO i want to automatically do the following:
1) Create the inbound delivery (which the system does because the item is going into an HU managed storage location).
2) Pack the inbound delivery (which the system does because i set the Delivery Type to 'Auto Pack')
3) Assign entered Serial Numbers to the HU - which at the moment is not happening.
I thought that by entering the Serial Numbers in the 'Serial Numbers' tab in transaction MIGO that these would be copied into the HU but this is not happening ?!?
(NB: I have serialisation procedure MMSL: Maintain goods receipt and issue doc. - set on my serial number profile).
We do not want to go into the Inbound Delivery and manually assign the serial numbers as this adds complexity and is time consuming for the User.
thanks,
A

Serial Numbers and Delivery not automated.

"The serial number field on the delivery is only a text field and requires user input. The actual serial numbers shipped on the delivery are not put in this field automatically by the system as you know. This is how it works. The serial number data is stored in different tables, OSRI and SRI1 and linked to the delivery document."
We have been manually typing the S/N into the delivery form so that we can have it print packing lists and invoices. Once we select the S/N for the delivery it should automatically update the delivery form.
The Delivery form does not automatically fill in the S/N once we select a s/n. Here is a scenario
1.)Select a Sales Order that has an item that requires a s/n.
2.) Copy SO to Delivery
3.) Click Add or put the cursor in the proper row of the s/n column and hit enter. A new window showing available S/N should appear.
4.) Select the S/N, assign to this SO and click Update then OK.
5.) Repeat if more then 1 item requires a s/n.
6) When done, click ADD and a new Delivery ticket is created. Note at this time the S/N are not showing in the Delivery Form.
7) You can now click Print Preview and it will show the Packing List along with a page for serial numbers. Also a Crystal Report Packing list is generated, but the s/nu2019s are not listed.
The only way we can get s/nu2019s to show on the Delivery form and in Crystal .Reports is to MANUALLY type the s/n into the Delivery form. We want to avoid typing the data, potential for typou2019s. This should be something the software does for us.

We're wondering the same thing. Would a bar code scanner work? The data would have to be displayed on a PC or something where it could be recorded.
Yes and no.
We have a small Bluetooth barcode scanner. Works well if the bar codes were printed better. I mean, the bar codes for switches/routers are "readable" but for wireless access points, you would need several attempts to get it to read.
Alternatively, you can read the bar codes from the box. I only use this as a "last resort" because I have seen, in two occasions, that the codes in the box and the the ones from the appliance don't match.
