Can serial number be entered for a BOM child material in production order

Question

Hi,
Kindly let me know whether it is possible to enter serial numbers for a BOM child material in a production order. In case yes, then under what circumstances (parameters) and where do we display it in a production order? e.g. for a BOM parent material, we display it in transaction CO03 --> Header --> Serial Numbers.

Answer 1

Dear Sourav,
In myunderstanding I dont think we can maintain the serial numbers for the components in the production order,but however
while performing GI using MB1A or during CO11N(,if backflushing is activated) we can enter the serial numbers for the
components and then using documented goods movements we can trace for each production in CO03 or else in COOIS.
But kindly check with T.Code COIB which seems to define the header-component serial no relationship.
Check and revert with your findings.
