Delete serial numbers

How can I delete serial numbers?
Sincerely,
Ketan

Hi Ketan,
I am also dealing with seial numbers in my current project and had this problem that if i want to delete some serial numbers which are scrapped over the period of time but could not find any option for th is in SAP.
What I am doing i have created a scrap storage location in one of the planst and when ever i have to get rid of any serial number i transfer post it using movement type 313 to this scrap storage location then i go to IQ02 and change the system status to Flagged for Deletion and In active. With this system status this serial number can no longer be used untill the system status is changed again using the same transaction IQ02.
There is another field called user status which does have an option of scrap status but its not activated in the standard SAP so you need to speak to the ABAPer and find out how you can activate it.
I hope the reply is helpful to you.

Procedure to Delete Serial Numbers

I understand that I have to follow the below procedure:
In order to delete serial numbers I have to do the following

+ delete/replace the serial numbers from the sales order
+ set the deletion flag in IQ02
+ archive the serial number history using archiving object
PM_OBJLIST
+ archive the serial number using archiving object PM_EQUI.
Please inform me th Transaction code or path fo archiving history and serial number.

Hi Friends,
Recently I hd got the same issue (Materials Management). I was not able to delete the serial number, instead I was able to do business process.
Issue: We had issue materials for sub-contracting to vendor with materials in serial no's, but while doing GR for the finished materials system should not ask for the serial no. entry for the finished product. as we are not maintaining serial no. for finished product.
we found that in the material master serial no. profile was assigned wrongly by the users.
Resolution:
We cannot delete the serial no's once it was created, instead Create a new profile with only (GR/GI ) MMSL procedure. and serial no. usage is 01.
Change the new serial profile which is created and do the Good posted, and this will resolve the issue.
Hope it will be useful
Thanks

Delete serial numbers from inbound delivery

which is the best way to delete serial numbers(not manually) from inbound delivery other than writing a VL32N BDC. is there any FM or BAPI to do this? I've tried WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE and SERNR_DEL_FROM_DOCU, but they are not working. any suggestions/tips please.
thanks
Sam

There was no data relating to serial numbers in the system. It rarely happens that FMs whose name and description almost fits our purpose doesn't work. Nevertheless it happens.
Coming back to your point, I think SERNR_DEL_FROM_DOCUMENT should work. Did you check the changing parameter T_SMESG ? Is it informative ?
Also check tables SERNR and R_SERNR.
Other way (but a circuitous way) to check is just before deleting the serial numbers do a '/h' and in debugging find out what Function Modules does SAP call before deleting. You can simulate the same scenario and test it.
You can also check if any classes are available to serve the same purpose.

Deletion of Serial numbers/ Parallel sequences from production order

HI ,
I am trying to delete the Serial numbers from the production order programatically using the FM SERNR_DEL_FROM_PP. I dont get any error , but the serial number is not getting deleted from production order. If anyone have used this FM for deletion Please let me know what extra has to be done.
Similarly i have a requirement or deletion of parallel sequence from the production order. Any FM to do the same?
Code screenshot below
CALL FUNCTION 'SERNR_DEL_FROM_PP'
       EXPORTING
            material              = i_matnr
            j_vorgang             = 'PMP2'
            ppaufnr               = i_paufnr
            ppposnr               = i_itemno
       IMPORTING
            anzsn                 = l_num_serno
            ZEILEN_ID             =
           SERIAL_COMMIT         =
       TABLES
            sernos                = gt_sernos
       EXCEPTIONS
            serialnumber_errors   = 1
            serialnumber_warnings = 2
            OTHERS                = 3.
DATA ls_afpod_po TYPE afpod.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING gs_afpod_po TO ls_afpod_po.
*.....Update Number of serial numbers in parent order
ls_afpod_po-anzsn = l_num_serno.
update afpo
set anzsn = l_num_serno
where aufnr = i_paufnr and
        posnr = i_itemno.
commit work AND WAIT.

Hello,
the function module SERNR_DEL_FROM_PP calls the function module SERNR_DEL_FROM_DOCUMENT within. There, the changes are only written into the memory.
See also the code below:
CALL FUNCTION 'STATUS_BUFFER_EXPORT_TO_MEMORY'             "P99K058111
        EXPORTING                                             "P99K058111
             I_MEMORY_ID = MEMID_STATUS.                      "P99K058111
The variable memid_status has the value 'SN_STATS'.
So if you want to update the data, you have to call the following function module:
CALL FUNCTION 'SERIAL_LISTE_POST_PP'
EXPORTING
    MEMORY_ID_STATUS       = 'SN_STATS'

Serial numbers profile deletion - for mateiral

Hi,
For some materials serial number profile has been activated in WORK SCHEDULING VIEW in material master.using this some materials has been assigned serial numbers.
the present condition is that they dont want to go with serial numebrs for that materials . so how can i delete the serial number profile for that materials. if i
delete in material master it is not allowing me to do.
please suggest me if any possibility is there
regards
madan

If any transaction has been done on the material master then its not possible to delete the sr. no. profile.What you can do that create a new code and change the description of this old material with a new material codwe(Only for info.)Also, you can block the material for any further processing using Cross plant status at client level or at plant level.

Is there a way to delete serial number in the metadata

I asked this before, but maybe v 1.1 is better or someone else is reading this.
Somewhere along the way, the serial numbers in hundreds of my pictures got corrupted with gobbledygook. So my metadata window in my library is filled up with hundreds of different and false serial numbers.
I would just like to delete them to clean up the window.
I tried reinstalling the files, but the data is corrupted. Its corrupted in my backup.
Can anyone tell me how to delete this c**p?
Andy

Maybe a better long term solution.... why don't you edit your images (with some propper metadata tool) by writing correct serial number into metadata?

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.

BAPI/FM - Inbound Delivery - Delete Serial Number

Greetings!
I would like to ask if there's a BAPI that will change the Inbound Delivery wherein it will delete some serial numbers and can Post Goods Receipt. I found one BAPI which is BAPI_INB_DELIVERY_CHANGE and WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE but i cant delete the serial number.
Thank You!

Hi,
check FMs:

Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 30

Hi Experts,
I am facing one problem during Usage decision in QA32 TRANSACTION,
After saving the Usage decision , the system saying that +'Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 30'+,
due to that i am unable to save the usage decision so that goods are not moving from Quality block to unrestricted stocks,
Inception type is 1 in QM set up view, Inspection type 03 is extra added which is not required for this material, is it causing any problem ?.
I have tried to remove this 03 Inspection type but system not allowing as there are stocks exists,
Work scheduling and Gen Plant 1/2 storage view also activated by mistakenly for this material, in these views Serial profile is assigned, which is not there for previous plant ( Rolled out to new plant), now the problem is with new plant material inspection lots, not for all, few of the lots are creating the problem(Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 30)
I have tried to send the material return to Vendor from Quality block but not success in that,
Can I deactivate views,
Can problem be solved If i remove the Serial number profile
Can I delete inspection type 03 from the material master QM set up view
Can anybody suggest how to trouble shoot the problem
Thanks in advance !!

First check whether serial numbers are attached to the inspection lot or not.
Please check the configuration of the serial number profile in transaction code OIS2.
Yes problem can be solved by Turn off serial number profile

Update Serial Numbers and Qty with bapi_outb_delivery_change

HI All
I want to update serial numbers and quantity(delivery qty) for a delivery, this is mostly in case of short ship and over ship, I am using the BAPI for this updation, but I am getting errors to it.
I am passing the following data in the BAPI:
HEADER_DATA -
> Delivery Number
DELIVERY -
> Delivery Number
ITEM_DATA -
> DELIV_NUMB(Delivery Number), DELIV_ITEM(Item), MATERIAL(material), DLV_QTY(Qty what i need to update in VL02n), FACT_UNIT_NOM(as 1), FACT_UNIT_DENOM (as 1), SALES_UNIT(VRKME), BASE_UOM(MEINS)
ITEM_CONTROL -
> DELIV_NUMB(delivery Number), DELIV_ITEM(Item), CHG_DELQTY(as 'X') .
But I get this error message.
"serial numbers are already maintained. Quantity cannot be changed"
Please suggest how can I change both?
Regards
Swar

Hi Swar
I can maybe give you insight on why you are receiving the error message in hopes in can help you go to the right direction. In the sales order for technical objects if you are maintaining lets say a qty of 2 each serial numbers. When you create the delivery the system passes both serial numbers to the delivery. In cases of short ship (wanting to only ship one each) go to the serial number in the file menu under extras in the delviery and before changing qty to one each; delete the serial number you are not shipping then change your qty this works.

Exactly 1 serial numbers must be selected (instead of 2)

Hello friends
i give stock posting to unrestricted, block , return delivery etc and save a pop up will come for each of the posting asking for serial numbers
then i selected all serial nos.(i have 2 serial nos,out of 2 ,one accpted ,one rejected) then system shows thefollowing message
Exactly 1 serial numbers must be selected (instead of 2)
Message no. IO212
Diagnosis
You or another user have entered an incorrect number of serial numbers.
The maximum number of serial numbers may equal the amount of document items. If there is a serial number obligation, this must equal the document quantity.
System Response
The system cannot perform the function.
Procedure
Delete the serial numbers or add further serial numbers.
How to do UD for this serial nos(i tried both the ways i.e selected one at at time also i tried both at a time,but system showing above message)
Thanks & regards
Gajendranath

Hi
As per my understanding you have 2 SR numbers.
Now you want to perform the multiple stock posting like ,to unrestricted or RD or block stock.
What you can do is when you get serial number pop up,
Suppose there its is saying block stock then select the serial numbers which you don't want to put in to block stock.
now delete all the serial numbers which you have selected in such a way that only the serial number which you want to put into block stock will remain ,then select the same & continue...
Now say you want to do RD of serial number system will propose you all serial number (excluding you have put into block stock)
select and delete irrelevant SR numbers & continue.
Now last will be unrestricted which will be rest of the numbers ....system will put this automatically.
I hope you understood.

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 in migo

Dear experts
I came across the following scenario. I have created a production order for 100 quantity and confirmed. That material needs external number range i have given it. Now i want to do goods reciept for only 50. But in migo ininitially it was creating serial numbers for 100. When i reduce the quantity to 50 the serial numbers are not reducing so i have to delete it manually. So please suggest me what to do.

Hi,
That's how it is in SAP. It cannot be automated, unless you implement barcodes.
When users do GR of 50 pcs, they have to identify which 50 are being completed. From business point of view, each serial no is to be tracked & ideally , there should be identification on physical unit( Like you have plate on CAR identifying engine serial no or Sticker on Notebook ). This will help in case of defect detected in field & also replacement parts to be used. You may want to implement Bar-code , then while doing GR, scan to get Serial no populated in SAP.
If product are not complex ( Consumer goods) ,no need to implement Sr. No .. Batch managment will serve purpose.
Hope it helps
