Capturing serial numbers in 2D barcode format

Hi All,
I'm working on capturing serial numbers in 2D barcode format using RF unit but it only taking 11 serial numbers from 30 serial numbers in 2D barcode. Is there any limitation on number of characters that system can take at one time?

Sekhar

Hi,

Need config steps to use LM80 transaction to capture serial numbers

Hi,
Our shipping process is:
1. Create delivery (This automatically creates a TO)
2. Confirm TO
3. PGI
If the material is serialized, capturing the serial numbers via VL02N > Extras and then do PGI.
But due to limitation of scanning only 19 serial numbers at a time in VL02N transaction, have to keep scrolling manually to scan more than 19 serial numbers, we want to use LM80 transaction to capture serial numbers.
I need step by step configuration changes and processing steps to use LM80 transaction. As a note, we do scan serial numbers in to system as our business requires scanning 100 serial numbers at times.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Alexander,
Firstly, considering the first and last serial numbers and filling in the rest is good. But the challenges will be as follows:
1. What happens if the difference between the first and last is too huge? The user will see a huge list of numbers.
2. What if some in-between serial numbers are consumed already?
One probable solution can be:
1. The system suggests the unconsumed serial numbers for picking based on the actual quantity that has to be picked.
2. The user can either choose these serial numbers or modify the list with scanning based on actual picks.
The solutions can be many based on the actual way the materials are organized in the warehouse.

SAPConsole - RF Tx: (LM80) Capture serial numbers, how to deal with ranges?

Hello All,
I was wondering if maybe some of you have come across the following challenge and have already found a solution.
At my customer we are implementing R/3 warehouse management (LE-WM). We are going to implement handheld devices for the order pickers to enable them to pick using transport orders (T.O.).
Some of the materials they will pick have serial numbers and need to be registrated after the T.O. has been completed using transaction LM80
As the people will sometimes pick in bulk it is required that they should be able to scan the first and last serial number of a complete range and let the system fill in the blanks.
This is to save time and to be nice to the warehouse people. They would only need to scan 2 times instead of 50 times if they pick a whole pallet.
I would like to know if any of you have already come across this and how you handled this.
Kind regards,
Alexander

Capture Serial Numbers

All,
I'm currently doing an inventory of all my DMP's in production. Is there a way to capture the S/N's without having to go out to the device? I use DMP 4400 Series. Thanks

Hi Thomas,
This was answered a few times already in the past (see for example https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2086623).
Unfortunately, the short answer is no.

RF Transaction - Capture Serial Number

Hello Experts,
I have a scenario where the client wants to
capture the serial numbers during the picking?
capture the serial numbers during the goods issue?
is there any standard RF transactions in ECC 6.0 for capturing serial numbers while picking and GI process? or do we need customization? Please explain.
Can we print the serial numbers in packing slip and invoice??
Thanks,
Sen

Hello Sen,
SAP has included this functionality "Capturing serial numbder during picking" from ERP ECC 5.0 onwords.
LM80 is the standard RF transaction code for capturing serial number.
<b>Can we print the serial numbers in packing slip and invoice??</b>
Yes, you can print the serail number in packing slip and invoice, work with developer on this. For accurate information on this, post query in SD forum as well.

Can we capture two types of Serial Numbers for a material?

Hi,
I have scenario where i need to capture two different types of serial numbers for a material. This scenario is very similar to the below one -
Say if a CAR is a serialized material, then i want to capture engine no. and chasis no. for each car.
I know in standard serial number management, we can capture one kind of serial no. for an item, but can we capture two types of serial number for an item? If yes, how we can do that?
Please help.
Thanks,
Parimal.

Hi,
No it is not possible to have two serial numbers for a material.
The main attribute of a serial number is that it is UNIQUE.
You can better have the vehicle number as the required serial number and the other numbers under the Manufacturer data of the General data tab of the IQ01 transaction. ( Equipment master creation ).
You can better change the name of the manufacturer data such as Model number to Engine numeber and Manu serial no to Chasis no etc.., using CMOD transactions.

Change external serial numbers

Hello Folks,
The serial numbers at the Client place have year stamp (external numbers). here is an example of it
ex : 0988880000001
Where first 2 digit "09" is a year stamp
the next 4 digits are material code - "8888"
the last 7 digits are for pieces to procure - "0000001"
totally there are 13 digits and are printed and used as barcodes on the pieces (EAN 13)
I want to know whether i can change this format to "1088880000001" from the next year. (After midnight 31st Dec 09). if yes , how to do this and where, so that the data gets uploading in the same table as a continuation of previous entries. Would there be any inconsistencies like system cannot access previous serial numbers?
Thanks much in advance,
Ashwin.

Angela,
You cannot change in Mass but one by one you can change for that you will have to go into Tcode. OIS2, Check Column StkCk -Stock check for serial numbers, maintain this column as blank. i.e., StkCk = 0
Else
with StkCk = 2 you cannot enter Stock type, Plant, Storage location if you do it, it will throw an error,
"Stock control active (profile ZXXX) for material XXXXXXXXX in plant XXXX), but you can maintain StkCk = 0 temporarily, until you complete maintaining plant, storage location for all the serial numbers then reinstate StkCk = 2.
Discipline the enduser from clicking "create serial no Automatically" then it will create DUmmy serial nos without plant and storage location.
2. You cannot delete it, but you can set Deletion Flag and you can make serial no active or inactive.
TCode Iq02 : Matserialno --> Functions --> A. Active and B. Deletion flag
Note: Be careful it should not affect other plants.

Serial Numbers on an RFID Tag

I am new to RFID technology. My question is: Can 1 RFID tag be designed to capture and transmit 5 non-consecutive serial numbers contained in 1 container box?
If you can tell me if this is possible with minimum effort or much effort, please let me know.
Then, if you also know Oracle's e-Business Suite (EBS), let me know if it's possible to have the scanning of such an RFID tag with 5 non-consecutive serial numbers populate the Serial Numbers form in EBS like on a shipping transaction.

Thanks, Sam.
The EBS modules would be Inventory and Shipping. We do not use WMS.
Uh, I do not know 'edge'. We do not use RFID currently and our volumes are small.
Here's the business issue, whether the solution is RFID or not: Our company makes lasers for fiber optics. Originally, we just made high-end lasers (low volume, high dollar) that were placed into individual container boxes with a barcode label with its single serial number on the outside. All of these lasers were serialized as finished goods in Oracle. Whenever we ship such a laser, we have someone scan the picked lasers manually with a barcode reader one container box at a time. This has not been an issue, since volumes are small.
But now we sell low-end lasers (higher volume, lower dollar), which often are sold in containers of 5. Each of the 5 small lasers have an individual, non-consecutive serial number. Our business areas want these items serialized in Oracle EBS as well, even though it makes more sense to me to track these items by LOT NUMBERS, not individual SERIAL NUMBERS.
The dilemma is: When we ship, let's say, 1000 of these small lasers by picking 200 multi-pack containers, how do we have the shipping guy scan in the 1000 serial numbers?
One way is to print 5 small individual S/N barcode labels on the multi-pack container, then have the poor guy scan in 1000 S/N's into the Oracle Shipping form from the 200 containers.
That's why I was asking if there could be an easy RFID solution. Perhaps log the 5 S/N's in the multi-pack container onto 1 RFID tag. Then have the guy scan the RFID tag and have it insert the 5 S/N's onto the Shipping S/N form, one S/N at a time with a tab entry to go to the next S/N line. That way, the guy only scans 200 RFID tags. Is this crazy (not possible)?

Bulk activation of Equipment View in serial numbers

Hi Experts,
Our client has erroneously created material-serial numbers which needs to be active the equipment view. There are around 2000+ details to be changed and a bulk change option is required to active "Equipment View".
I have tried to create a LSMW but ended unsuccessfully.
Appreciate you valuable guidance to find a solution
Thanks In Advance

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I have only tried LSMW.
We have set mandatory the "Location" field for equipment. There for when i execute the LSMW, following appeared
'Formatting error in the field ITOB-STORT'
'Fill in all required entry fields'
Thanks

Control of serial numbers in productions (parts and final product serials)

Hi,
We are starting using our production module in SBO 9.0 PL11 and it is all quite messy.
We need to manufacture an item that has a serial number made of parts, some of which have serial numbers. Just imagine a car. The car will have its own serial number, but the engine, the radio and so on will have their own serial numbers. But the cables, tyres, etc do not have a serial of their own.
We set a BOM model, made of every part (with or without serial) and set every line to manual.
Then we place a PO for our parts, and then do a Goods Receipt and enter the individual items' serials.
Then, we issue a Production order for our final product made of all of our parts in the BOM. Then we release it for production.
Next, it all gets messi. If we create a receipt from production, we can issue the serial number of each of our final products.
If we create an Issue for Production, we can choose what serials to pick for production.
Big problem is that we loose all traceability. There is no way (or we can't find it) to know what are the serials of the parts that created the final product.
Not only this, issue for production looks (serial number transaction report-wise) looks like a goods issue, so just a way to decrease your parts stock. And receipt of production looks like a goods receipt. So you just now you received something for production or that you issued it to production, but there doesn't seem to be a link between them. No traceability at all.
Can anyone throw some light into this? I am sure we are doing something really wrong, but can't see what.

Hi,
1. But how do we control what serial numbers for each part we used to create the final product specific serial? (I use engine #003 and radio #376) to create product with serial #076. And we always produce in quantities greater than 1.
Please provide an sample process production with FG item and components with required serial format to check
2. This query is not returning any rows. I am inputing a final product code, with production orders, and nothing shows up.
As mentioned, the above query works for batch managed items. Once we conclude process, I can try modify above query to meet your purpose.
3. It sounds really complicated to have to open both receipt and issue to track a single manufacturing operation.
You can use relationship map option to view both issue and receipt for single production.
4. Besides that, what is the exact workflow? I don't quite understand issue and receipt, should I run both independently?
Standard work flow for production order:
1. Create bill of material
2. Create planned production order based on above BOM
3. Make sure required components are arrived.
4. Change planned to released status.
5. Issue components to production by issue production
6. Receive finished item from production through receipt from production.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagarajan

Serial numbers in handling unit

We generate handling units at the end of production line; the requirement is to capture and store the serial numbers into the handling unit (which works fine) and when the u201Csameu201D handling units are picked for outbound deliveries, the serial numbers are carried along with handling unit created during production which is not working, the system is currently requesting to key in all the serial numbers again during PGI. Can you please let me know how to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance

Hi,
In case of partial HU picking only system will ask serial numbers for HU.
Eg: HU qty - 10pc T.O qty :4pc then system asks which serial no's want to pick from HU.
If it is full HU no need to give serial numbers manually..

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.

How to include Serial Numbers in a marketing documents

Hi,
we would like to show the serial number attached to the right item in the Invoice and Delivery documents. But the serial number columns are always empty in the markleting documents. My boss don't want to see the serial numbers on a separate report like it is right now.
Do you have any solution ? I tried to use a Formatted search to fill the Serial Number Field, but it's not working, I can't discard the wrong serial number or the SQL query do not work in SAP (thought it's working well in SQL Server)..
