Batch control without serial number

Hello,
I am just a beginner and i need some professionals' help
I want to ask you about batch control. For our system, we need 3 batch types for some materials. In fact its about PM scenario.
This material are repairable fixed assets. We dont need to follow their serial number but we want to know how many "NEW" or "DEFECTIVE" or "REPAIRED" material i've got in my storage locations or on plant.
IS a BOM  structure is suitable for me, or what can i use for this situation?
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can use batch management for this. A couple of ideas:
1. Use the batch name to designate the status - i.e. simply create three batches:
NEW
DEFECTIVE
REPAIRED
This is OK unless you need tio really track batches - i.e. real batch numbers
This is a simple solution - and provides easy reporting on how much is in each batch.
2. Assign a characteritic (i.e. in batch classification) to the material for class (022 or 023 dependeing on batch level).
The characteristic would have the allowed values:
NEW
DEFECTIVE
REPAIRED
You may need a custom report in this case.
You don't need a BOM - this is unrelated.

  • Item was received without serial number by mistake.

    Good Morning;
    Purchasing department for one of my
    clients added a product managed by serial numbers instead of by batches
    in error. Product was received incorrectly, and no serial number was
    entered. Now they cannot create a transaction to get this product off
    the inventory (credit memo).it is asking for the S# but the item was receive without
    serial number.\
    I dont know how they were able to enter the AP invoice without entering a serial number, but looks like they did and now they cannot take it out from the inventory.
    Thanks in advance
    Jenny

    Is the item managed by serial numbers "On release" or on "Every Transaction". If it is on release only, it would not need a serial number to be received, just issued.
    If this is the case, it can be issued with a dummy number to get it out of stock, then the correction can be made & it can be brough back in correctly.

  • Post Good Receipt without serial number

    Dear Expert,
    My client use serial number management for good movement. But they have requirement to set serial number as blank when they perform GR non stock (GR for PO with account assignment) while serial number still mandatory for GR stock (GR for PO without account assignment). Is there any possibility to accommodate this requirement? Is there any user exit or enhancement to post GR non stock without serial number while serial number usage in serializing procedure set as 03 (Obligatory). Please kindly help. Your response is really appreciated and helpful answer will be rewarded.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    You have the solution already, tell the users not to use the material master when procuring non-stock items.
    Because later on your are going to reach a point where users want to procure non-material however they will use a material number and forget to enter a account assignment and then what is going to happen????
    It will result in procurement of stock materials...
    What are they procuring using material numbers as non-stock items????
    Thanks

  • Master Batch change for serial number in stock with status "ESTO" by IQ02

    Hi,
    How  to change master batch for serial number in stock with status "ESTO" by IQ02 transaction?

    Hi Harsh,
    if this field is not ready for input you have set the stock check to '02 Error' in your serial number profile in order to ensure
    consistency between the stock data of serial numbers and inventorymanagement.
    In this case you have to do a material movement posting inMB11 with movement type 309 (material to material). Enter the new batch as batch of the receiving material. This movement will update both the master batch and the stock batch of the serial number.

  • Contacting creative for warranty without serial number?

    7Contacting creative for warranty without serial number?& Hi,
    The right channel of my Creative EP-830 headphones doesn't work anymore and since I bought it only 8 months ago (in a Dutch store: www.bol.com), I want to claim my warranty. However, I don't have the packaging anymore and thus I also don't have any serial number. And for some ridiculous reason Creative has seemingly set up its site such that it is impossible to contact them through e-mail or phone without a serial number.
    How can I contact them to claim my warranty in the Netherlands? I have not been able to find any phone number on the website, and every time I get to an e-mail form to contact them it wants the serial number of my headphones, which I don't have.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially since this is not the first time I'm having broken Creative headphones within the warranty period.

    Please check your PM. Important thing is you should have your receipt because tech support needs it.

  • Batch  Management and serial Number Management

    Hi Friends,
    I have a an issue.
    We are using Batch management and serial number for few materials.
    While selecting F4 for checking available batch numbers and serial numbers during issues , transfer posting,stock transfer etc.., system dispalys all Batches/Serial numbers which are created for that particular material. i.e all Batches and serial numbers irrespective of whether there are stocks available , whether they are cancelled/deleted will appear in the list
    Our requirement is when F4 is selected system should list only live/existing batch numbers and serial numbers of that particular material.
    Can any one help us
    Thx
    Deva

    Hi Ramesh,
    Thanks for your input.
    However my requirement is instead of going to separate T.code IQ09 , user wants to list the existing Batch/Ser no details while selecting F4 during issues
    Thx

  • Goods Receipt without Serial number?

    Hello Experts,
    Is there a way to do goods receipt on a material without entering the serial number even if the material is maintained with a serial number profile?
    Is there some type of special stock you can put the material into where you do not need to enter the serial number?
    rgds
    GAR

    Nope. If a material is serialized it will require a serial number. The only other way i can think of is having another plant where that material resides and unserialized but its not recommended.

  • Trying to replace Mac without Serial Number. HELP!

    So last September I had the back replaced on my 13inch MacBook Pro and thus the serial number was removed with it (which i wasn't overly concerned about as I could access it via 'About This Mac). However, this morning I had an unfortunate incident with a vase of flowers where in the content of said vase was spilled onto my mac. Apple Store said the mac is Beyond Economical Repair but luckily I can claim on insurance. Here is the problem!
    Apple will not give me a written confirmation of damage or a like-for-like quote without my serial number to prove the mac isn't stolen. I bought the mac in the USA and no longer have the packaging, original receit and obviously cannot access serial number through the mac anymore. I upgraded to Lion two weeks ago so it is not registered to my Apple ID either.
    I believe they have details of who purchased the mac because they asked whether I knew John Doe, who is my father (he bought it on his AMEX but didn't keep the receit). I have the AMEX statement, which has the date of purchase and price but no details of what was actually bought and I aslo have the original registration email from the day the mac was purchased but none of these have the serial number on.
    Any advice???

  • Cancel insp.lot for batch material with serial number?

    We have a problem with an inspection lot....
    A few months ago we made a goods receipt for batch material... it ended up in Q- stock.
    The weeks went by and the material was changed ito a serial number material... that process works fine...
    But now we want to scrap the material that is batch-handeled ... the inspection dont want to let go.. it want serial numbers... even if I create serial numbers for this the inspection lot
    dont let me register any numbers.. So I cant cancel/delete it... And after all I just want to scrap the batch...
    Can someone help me?
    // Andreas

    if stock of that material with serial numbers exist, then scrap that stock and disable the serial number for the material by deleting the serial number profile in the work scheduling view of the material master.
    then try cancelling the inspection lot. After cancelling the inspection lot, activate the serial number for that material again and bring back the scrapped stock into the unrestricted use.
    Note: please advice the users not to post any stock for that material till you complete this or else block the posting t.code for all the users.

  • SWAP Equipment using IE4N, without serial number and material, it is possible?

    Hi PM Experts, I´ve been reading about the way to SWAP equipments from his functional location without using serial number and material, I think if it is not possible, but to be honest, I cannot find any logical answer for it, since equipment number is unique for a plant. Does anyone have found any work around for it?.
    I don’t want to use serial numbers and materials, because I think the process is really simple, since the client does not want to implement the refurbishment process. If there is a break down, here is what I do:
    Case 1:
    Dismantle damage equipment (Say PM01 Order Type)
    Install new equipment (same PM order)
    TECO the actual PM order
    ...Later
    Case 2:
    Create a new PM orden (say PM01 Order Type)
    Repair the break equipment
    TECO this new PM Order
    Here are the inconsistencies:
    What happen with the MTTR and MTBR reports?
    In case one, I´ll create the material as equipment, while I´m installing, starting date for his master data is the installation day, and the MTTR and MTBR will start to run. This is ok.
    What happened in case 2?, I need to stop the “clock” for the MTTR and MTBR of the dismantle equipment.
    This is the reason why, I would like to use IE4N, but since there are no serial number and material, I cannot.
    Can anyone please suggest a workaround for this scenario?.
    I´m thinking in use INAC (Object Deactivated) system status, can this status help me?, Does this status “stops” the clock for MTTR and MTBR report?. If I change the status to ACT, I´ll get the clock back running?.
    How about dismantle the equipment?, It will get the AVLB Available status, but the problem is, this equipment will be “floating” in the whole PM structure and I do not want it. I want to have it in a specific Functional Location but with this status, is this possible?. I woul like to use IE4N to SWAP UTs and later change the status to AVLB Available status, with and exits.
    I thinking in an Equipment Status and a “Z” MTTR and MTBR report, based on this status. But to be honest, I´d like a standard solution for it.

    For find my iPhone to work, the device has to be powered on and it has to be connected to a network (Cellular or WiFi).  Find My iPhone uses your AppleID as the account to search for.  Maybe the "guys" you were talking to were referring to a 3rd party application that essentially lo-jacks your device.  But even then, it would still require Power and a network. 
    I don't believe that there is currently a way to flag a specific serial number for location.
    Best of Luck.

  • Transfer from Mac to Windows and Downloading without serial number

    Hello,
    I have two questions:
    1-)
    Can I use CS5 on Mac and Windows interchangeably?
    If not, is there a way to use CS5 (CD version) which was purchased for Windows on a Mac?  If so, what do I need to do?
    2-)
    Can Adobe download Creative Suite to a new computer without the serial number if the product was originally registered?
    I recently moved from Korea back to America, unfortunately the movers packed my CDs by accident, and they won't be here for another two months. 
    Thank you for taking the time to answer me,

    No.
    The Platform Swap process only applies to current versions of Creative Suite. The last ever current version of Creative Suite is CS6.

    You can certainly download the software. You don't ever need your discs again for that. However, the software (disc or download) will only ever install as a 30 day time limited trial version until you enter a valid serial number.
    Thus you will always need your serial number for any re-install so you must keep it safe and handy.
    Try logging in to your Adobe account on the Adobe website and see if the serial number can be found there.
