Issue Slip Numbers

Question

hi,
what is
Issue Slip Numbers
Serial Numbers In Goods Movements

Answer 1

Hi,
Goods Receipt/Issue Slip Numbers
Use
When you enter a material document or a delivery, you can enter a goods receipt/issue slip number (GR/GI slip number) in addition to the material document number.
The GR/GI slip number should only be used in those countries (Italy, for example) where it is required by law for goods that leave the plant and are transported on public roads.
In other countries the material document is usually sufficient, as this is printed on the GR/GI slip number in the standard system. External document numbers can be entered in the fields Material slip and Delivery note.
The GR/GI slip number can be assigned externally as well as internally. You can define different number ranges for each plant, storage location, and movement type.
Activities
Printing Goods Receipt/Issue Slips
In the standard system, the GR/GI slip number is not printed on GR/GI slips. If you want to print this number on GR/GI slips, you have two options of doing so
for standard goods receipt/issue slips, you can include the field for the GR/GI slip number in the SAPscript form
you can call up the form MB_XAB using transaction MBXA. This form contains all of the data that is relevant to transport and can replace the standard GR/GI slip
If you replace the standard GR/GI slip,
in Customizing for Inventory management, you have to assign a form version to the print report SAPLMBXA in print control
you have to maintain a printer for user parameter GRD, so that the printout is carried out in the spool
Maintaining Goods Receipt/Issue Slip Numbers When Entering Goods Movements
The initial and header screens for goods movements contain the field GR/GI slip no. (goods receipt/issue slip number).
If assignment of GR/GI slip numbers is active in the plant, you can manually specify a GR/GI slip number when entering goods movements or deliveries. If you do not specify a number, the system assigns it automatically.
Serial Numbers in Goods Movements
The R/3 System allows assignment of serial numbers to serialized materials. Numbers can be assigned internally (by the system) and externally (by the user).
Maintaining Serial Numbers for a Goods Movement
If assignment of serial numbers is mandatory and you enter a goods movement, a dialog box will appear where you either enter your own serial number for each serialized material or have the system assign the numbers. For example, if you post three pieces of a material, you must enter three serial numbers (or have them assigned by the system).
If assignment of serial numbers is not mandatory, you can select Goto ® Serial number from the detail screen for an item to maintain the serial numbers.
Stock Transfers
A stock transfer (plant to plant) of materials with serial number management is only possible if the same profile is assigned to the material in both plants.
Stock Transport Orders
For goods movements for stock transport orders with no involvement of the Shipping component, you must enter the serial numbers manually.
When goods movements for stock transport orders involve Shipping, note the following:
When a goods issue is posted for a delivery, the serial numbers are taken from the delivery.
When a goods receipt is posted for a delivery, the serial numbers are also taken from the delivery. If you enter the goods receipt referencing the purchase order and not the delivery, however, you must enter the serial numbers manually.
Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory
Use
When carrying out a physical inventory for materials that have serial numbers, you can enter the serial numbers while you are entering the results of the physical inventory count.
This is possible for the following transactions/events:
Entering the physical inventory count (MI04)
Entering the physical inventory count without reference to a document (MI09)
Entering the count and posting differences in one step (MI08)
Creating a physical inventory document, entering the count, and posting differences in one step (MI10)
Changing the physical inventory count (MI05)
Serial Numbers in Inventory Management
Use
It is possible to assign serial numbers in the event of goods movements for individual pieces of material. It does not matter in which application these goods movements are triggered.
Furthermore, the system can perform a stock check, which in turn ensures correct inventory of individual stock. This check takes place at plant and storage location level, as well as for:
All types of stock (for example, unrestricted-use stock, stock in quality inspection, blocked stock returns, stock in transfer, stock in transit, blocked stock)
All special stocks (for example, open order quantity, project stock, customer stock and vendor consignment stock)
Integration
You must use the component Inventory Management to be able to post goods movements.
In order to assign serial numbers for goods issues from repetitive manufacturing, you also need the component Repetitive Manufacturing.
Prerequisites
A serial number profile with the procedure MMSL must be entered in the material master record.
If a stock check is to be performed, the indicator of the same name must be set in the serial number profile.
In order that the individual stocks are recorded correctly, you must define the indicator as follows:
The serial number usage for the procedure MMSL must be 03, meaning that the assignment of serial numbers is obligatory for goods movements.
The stock check must be 2, meaning that if the stock data is inconsistent, the system does not perform the posting and issues a corresponding error message.
In Customizing for inventory management you can sort the different types of goods movements into groups using movement type groups. By assigning movement type groups to a serialization procedure you define for the assigned movements whether:
Serial number requirement exists for the materials assigned to the profile
A serial number including an equipment master record is created in inventory management for a goods movement
Features
Serial numbers can be assigned for goods receipts, goods issues, stock transfers and stock transport orders.
You use the serial number usage in the serial number profile to control whether:
The serial number must be entered for every goods movement, or
The serial number cannot be entered for any goods movement
The following information is recorded for the serial number for each goods movement:
Plant and storage location
Batch
Valuation type
Stock type
Special stock indicator
Sales order number and order item
Account number of the vendor or customer
Work breakdown structure element
This information regarding the serial number is also taken consideration in the stock overview.
