HI,
1) Material serial number activation as follows.
Using T-Code MM01- material code creation to the respective plant,storage location,sales org and then give input data to the material view screen basic data1, basic data2...... In the view Plant data / Stor.2 input screen General plant parameters options Serial no.profile - '0001', SerLevel - '1' data to be given during material creation time. After that doing MIGO for the material, it will ask material serial number.
2) Material serial number purpose as follows.
a) Material identification based on serial number.
b) Material serial number wise issues in FIFO method.
c) Material stock.
Hope, it is useful for you.
Regards,
K.Rajendran.

  • Goods movements of material with serial numbers

    Hi,
    1. Is there any report or table where I can see goods movement of material with their serial numbers?
    2. Also in MMBE i can see 'On order stock'. I know this is PO open PO quantity.
    Now this open PO qty will not be there against any storage location. I got some stock on this status in some storage location.
    How I can move to 'unrestricted stock' status?
    Please advice.

    Hi,
    Is Serial number is the one obtained thro stadard batch management or is it a Zfield.
    On Order stock cannot be converted to unrestircted stock unless a GR is made.

  • Goods Receipt of material with serial numbers

    Hi all,
    Does SRM 7 supports the functionality of serial numbers at goods receipt? If a material in ECC has Serial number profile, then at the time of goods receipt in SRM, the system will ask to enter the serial number of each material?
    Thanks,
    Ezequiel

    Hi Ezequiel,
    serial numbers are not supported in SRM - not even in 7.0.

  • Material document skipped numbers-Critical-Critical-Help please

    Hi,
    I ahve observed one issue in the number range of the materila document posted with standard 50 series.
    My first GR document with MVT type 101 got generated correctly with number 5000000000 & the corrosponding accounting document with also 5000000000.
    However my second material document got generated with number 5000000010 & corrosponding accounting document with 5000000001.
    WHy the system has skipped numbers while generating material document ?
    I am using standard functionality and have not alterd anything.
    Interstingly when I saw in OMBT, it showed me current number range for material document as 5000000019.
    What does it means.How can I rectify this issue ?
    So far I am posting in only one company code but soon I will be working in 4-5 company codes.
    Please suggest why this is happening & what should be done ?
    Is there any buffer got associated ?
    This is very critical & i need to find out the solution soon.
    Best Regards,
    BM

    Hi Nikhil,
    Thanks for the immediate feedback but why the system behaves differently in Dev,Quality & Production.
    When I checked in Dev,it has not skipped anything eventhough the settings in both are standard.
    Will this create any inconsistency in production ?
    Also how system starts generating the numbers sequentially later ?Is it based on your experience or any specific reason behind that.
    Also I would like to know that whether system will generate documents fro 5000000001 to 500000009 or not.
    Thanks again

  • Serial numbers from PO(ME21N) to be updated in standard VL10B deliveries

    Hi,
    New to enhancements and need help.
    I have Purchase Orders created in ME21N. But material specific serial numbers are entered in Texts as this enhancement wasn't implemented prior prod release. Now we needed seralization to be implemented. Configuration is done and I've finished an enhancement where internal serial numbers are associated with product serial numbers specific to the PO. This works fine if we are manually creating TO and delivery in foreground.
    My issue comes with, is there any way we can create internal serial numbers for materials (particular materiall types specified in the configuration) if the delivery has been created in VL10B using either BAPI or function module or online in background.
    All i need is an idead or clue as to how it can be implemented.
    I can trigger an enhancement in VL10B, but should I use an implicit enhancement. Or is there an User Exit or BADI for this.
    Any suggestions please
    Thanks and Regards
    Naveen Vajja

    Thanks Eduardo. I'll def look into that.
    Update though. I've already done implementing this by setting
    automatic = 'X'.
    in SAPLIPW1. If you want a detailed explantion. I can help with this.
    Though for 'Return orders', this won't work.
    For this CSD will be entering the serial numbers of return materials in texts of PO which get transferred to delivery.
    For this updation, in PAI modue of SAPLMEGUI (VL10B), we need to update these serial numbers (FM READ_TEXT) from texts into SAP internal serial numbers. Please correct me if my approach is wrong.
    Need suggestion for this.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Assigning HU with serial numbers to deliveries

    Hi Experts,
    While assigning HUs to a delivery, SAP checks the quantities in delivery item with the quantities in HU. If the HU quantity is more than the line item quantity SAP prevents assigning the same.
    eg.
    We have 3 items with quantity 10, 3 and 7 i.e. total 20
    We want to assign HU 1000000173 and 1000000174 each with 10 items to this delivery. I.e. total 20 items in 2 HUs to be assigend to 3 line items and the serial numbers from the HUs to be assigned to the delivery items.
    Standard SAP does not allow this. It assigns the first HU to the item with 10 quantities. When we enter the second HU, it compares it with the delivery item quantity as rejects it. Is it possible to split the HU serial numbers and assign the same HU to both the line items.
    When we have a material without serial numbers, SAP assigns the same HU to multiple delivery items but it doesnot allow this in case of materials with serial number.
    We are on ECC 6.0.
    Any pointers to resolve this would be very helpful.
    Thanks,
    Best regards,
    Prashant

    Experts,
    Any pointers ?
    Is it advisable from business perspective to assign HU to multiple line items ?

  • Serial Numbers for Sales Orders

    We have a business Process where we do not maintain any serial numbers for the products. How ever one of our customer maintains serial numbers for the products that come to their warehouse.
    This customer will send in the serial numbers for each material and quantity in the inbound 850 Idoc and he wants those serial numbers to be printed on top of the boxes. so that he can scan them while receiving the GR and do automatic posting at thier system.
    we have to store this serial numbers against this sales order and print them in the shipping tags for the finished products  that are to be sent to  this customer.
    Now
    1) we do not want to use serial number profiles because it effects every sales order / delivery created for that material. the serial numbers should be assigned only to the orders from this specific customer.  Is there any way to acheive this?
    2) in the sap idoc 850 ( message type ORDERS05) how do we store the serial numbers. what segment and fields are available for this purpose. 
    3) how to save this serial numbers in the sap system against the sales order created for this customer.
    Your answers will be highy appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for all those wonderful replies..
    I am looking more at  a standard solution. with minor changes..
    Storing the serial numers in text items is possible but not practical, the more the quantity the more difficult and time consuming is this process for ex if this customer orders 10,000 qty. then it would be tough.. and again to solve that problem we have to break   the qty into multiple line items and this is only a alternatve but not a good solution i guess.
    I thought  this scenario should be more in practice because, customers can request us to put their serial numbers on the packing boxes that we send them.
    So just wondering if any our colleagues have already worked in this scenario.. While doing a search I saw a couple of questions regarding the same situations back in 2005 and 2007  but the questions were marked as answered without mentioning the solution they approached to solve this problem.
    Can any of you suggest me whether is this scneario a standard one ?

  • IDOC message type WMMBXY not including Serial numbers in GR material documents when created with reference to an Inbound delivery

    Hello,
    We currently have an inbound ALE process (message type WMMBXY and basic type WMMBID02) to post GR's against inbound delivery. If the inbound delivery item is maintained with serial numbers, we want those serial numbers to be pulled into the goods movement material document (and stored in SER03).
    Currently segment E1MBXYJ is maintained with the inbound delivery number in field VLIEF_AVIS and Inbound delivery item number in field
    VBELP_AVIS. In segment E1MBXYI, no purchase order is assigned and the fields EBELN and EBELP are blank. The movement indicator (KZBEW) has the value 'B'.
    Even after making the above settings, the serial number(s) maintained on the Inbound delivery item do not get saved to the material document.I did look at OSS note 833603 (Solution for 2 - GR for Inbound delivery) and we have followed the same settings. This works when there is no serial number in the Inbound delivery. However if we have serial numbers, the IDOC posts successfully, however the material documents in MB03 do not have any serial numbers copied over from the Inbound delivery where the serial numbers are definitely assigned.
    Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Ashvin
    P.S
    If we manually create the GR via MIGO, the serial numbers are automatically applied to the GR material document. This is what we want to accomplish via the above IDoc process.

    Hi
    Try with enhancement MWMIDO08. See note 833603 - EDI: Goods receipt for stock transport order for further information.
    I hope this helps you

  • Get Serial Numbers of a line item in a material document

    Hello everyone!
    My requirement goes like this:  For a material document, if a material code is serialized, I will also need to retrieve the corresponding serial numbers listed in the material document.  Is there a function module or table that I can use to connect the serial numbers to the material code?  If for example in matdoc 0001, material x1 the serial numbers are 1 and 2, then in matdoc 0002, material x2 the serial numbers are 3 amd 4. when I retrieve the details of matdoc 0001, I will only get serial numbers 1 and 2, not 1,2,3 and 4.
    Please help... points for any helpful answer.

    Hi, Check this Function module.

  • How to create place holders for serial numbers in billing document

    Hey Guys,
    I want to create place holders for serial numbers in the billing documents so that the serial number information along with the material number is copied from the delivery document into the billing document. Could you please suggest how to do this.

    Hey friend,
    We have a user exit for that however I don’t remember it. It is known issue as it is essential in India for a telecom industry. They need to declare their invoice no. according to the area. So they are assigning there no ranges with plants. Here plants are nothing but different region.
    So you try to find out that exit as you have the similar requirement. And your problem will be solved. If your ABAPer don’t get the user-exit and it’s really urgent come back I will find it out for you.

  • Add serial numbers in sales document

    Hi everyone
    In case of third-party businnes we use the workflow sales order -> purchase order -> invoice.
    In this case we have to add the serial numbers in the sales document under Extras->Technical Objects.
    Is there any function or bapi that I can use???
    PS:
    I've try the combination:
    SERNR_ADD_TO_AU and
    IWOL_WV_ADD_OBJECTS but is not working since the second function expects to have an equipment with the material nr and the serial nr that I try to add ( and this equipment is not existing yet ).
    Thanks.
    Anca

    Hi,
    Have you tried function modules SERIALPROFILE_CHECK,  SERNR_ADD_TO_DOCUMENT or SERNR_MAINTAIN_IN_DOCUMENT?
    Also check the function modules in table T377X for Serial Procedures related to SD (e.g. SDAP is for "Post serial numbers for SD order" and may have function module SERIAL_LISTE_POST_AU as its form value).
    By the way, in VA02 the function for Extras -> Technical Objects branches to include program MV45AF0F_FCODE_POTO, form FCODE_POTO.  Investigating or debugging this logic may provide you some clues if none of the functions suggested above are of use.
