Material serial number creation

Hello,
I have a scenario in setting up serial number for material. I am presently working on data migration from legacy system to SAP. Materials in legacy system has serial numbers assigned to it. I am migrating service contracts with service materials which should have equipments details in the technical objects details
i wanted to know how to create serial no.s for the saleable materials in the contract with status ECUS ( equipment at customer).
When i create serials numbers the material is in stock under a plant. But this should not be the case since the equipment is already at the customer .
Please suggest a suitable solution for doing the same.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Kiran.R.S

Hi,
From IE02 - Edit, Special serial number functions, Manual transaction.
This will allow you to move the status on depending on the status that your currently at.
Hope that's a start!

Serial number creation at the time of GI

Dear Experts,
I want to create sreial number and equipment number simultaneously at the time of GI
please hel m out with customization settings.
Thanks
Warm regards
Rahul

Using existing serial number is not giving me perfect solution.....
there is no validation of matching serial number which has been created before for that material
e.g.
if i am having one line item with quatity:10
At GR 10 serial numbers will be generated.
at GI he can assign any serial number to any material which is not desirable in my case.
Please let me know can we stop serial number creation at the time of GR?????
I want it should create only at the time of GI
Thanks

Serial Number creation in SD

Hi all,
I am facing the issues in SAP SD regarding the serial number.
The scenario is my client wants the serial number to be created at the time of sales order itself.
I assigned the serial number profile into the material master.
In sales order i selected the material and created the serial number automatically.When i am saving the sales order it throws an error like "Number range does not exist for Equipment"..**
I checked in the t.code OIS2 - ser.profile- 0002, i selected and given the priority of serial number to SDCC (03) rest all are 02 only.Equipment requirement is "01" without Eq Re selected.
Suggest me if you have idea on settings related to serial number creation in sales order. My project also involves PP and PM module but they are not creating Serial number.
I checked in the t.code OIEN for number ranges groups, it shows the it show number range groups and equipment. I am not familiar with this equipment so i left it.
regards
Harish

Thanks SAP Student, As per ur suggestion changed the serial number profile (SDAU) and eq.usage(01),
After creating the serial number automatically in sales order, at the time of saving the sales order it asking again the same error "Number range doesnot exits for Equipment".
My Plant maintanence consultant says he was using the external number range for the equipment. He has not done anything for internal number range.
Can anyone suggest me how it is related with equipment and how to go ahead.

Serial Number Creation Speed Issue

Hi all,
I have GRPO that constantly (Weekly) need to be entered into SBO with Serial Number Items with Qty of, sometimes, over 100000 Numbers. The posting of this GRPO takes a very long time, hours, but what is worse, no one can do any work in SBO since the entire system is "Locked" or is very very very slow.
Does anyone have any suggestion or solution that they can offer?
Thanks

Hi Peter,
Yes, we are using the Automatically generated Serial Numbers and they are Sequential.
Currently...
1. Create the Purchase Order (without Serial Numbers)
2. Create GRPO when Stock is Recieved. The Serial Number Creation Screen opens. We generate the Serial Numbers with the Automatic Function. This does not take a very loooooong time (+- 10mins). We Save it as a Draft.
3. At the end of the day when everyone is of the system, 5pm, we open the Draft and Post the GRPO. This can take a loooooonnng time, HOURS! This runs overnight on a Quad Dual Core (8 processors) but only one processes this as per Task Manager -> Performance Monitor.
We need a better solution.

RE:BAPI for Create Material Serial Number

Can anybody please suggest me any function module or BAPI available to Create Material Serial Number (transaction IQ04), and later Change Material Serial Number (transaction IQ02) for updating its class type, class and characteristic description?

Hi,
Two options for creating meters, meter serial number
- FM: EQUIPMENT_SAVE - It is too trickly to use this FM, one has to do lot of research and should have good technical skills
- Using BDC - simple and straigh.
For updating class for the meter you can use FM: BAPI_OBJCL_CREATE (BDC does not work for this one). Again it is pretty complex to implement.
For created meters, i have used both FM and BDC. Decision depends on requirement, volume and resource.
- ASB

BAPI to get inbound delivery from material serial number

BAPI to get inbound delivery number from material serial number?
input---material serial number.
output--inbound delivery number.

Perhaps instead of using a BAPI you can code it like this.
DATA:serial(10) TYPE n VALUE '0000340078',
pos TYPE i VALUE 1.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WHILE pos <= 10 AND serial+pos(1) = 0.
pos = pos + 1.
ENDWHILE.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '0' IN serial(pos) WITH space.
WRITE serial.

Material Serial Number Issue.

Dear Friends,
Material Serial Number Issue.
Its better to explain with the example.
Material Number : ABCD with serial number as 123456
There is a reservation for the Material ABCD from work order, now the warehouse person Goods Issues for the reservation ABCD with serial number 06-123456.(he issued wrong serial number)
Correction action - Reverse Goods Issue for serial number 06-123456, now Goods issue for correct number as 123456. But the systems doesnot allows the serial number, error Material ABCD 123456 is already installed. Thenin IQ09 the material ABCD with SNO 123456 is INSTL Status.
Now question.
1. In 1st place how system allows the Goods issue for particular reservation with different serial number?
2. Without issuing the serial number 123456, how the status changed to INSTL???
3. How to solve this problem, need to change the stauts of Material 123456 as ESTO, then i can do goods issue,. how to change the status??
Regards,
Saravanan.S

Hi,
Ask the workcentre to give that materail with 202 or 262 mvt to you. Now with the new reservation issue the required serial number material to site.
System does not have the serial number in reservation slip.Manually u are assigning it diuring the MIGO.

Maintain revison level at Material Serial Number

Any pointer on how can I maintain and track the revision level by Material Serial Number?
All SAP information I have seen is maintaining revision at Material master.

Thanks for responding. My understanding is that ECM only maintain revision level at Material Master but not at the Material Serial Number. If we use ECM, am I able to track revision level by serial number. I cannot find a revision data field in the Material Serial number record.
Currently, we create material master id with part-number/rev to track the revision at serial number record.

Regarding the material serial number

Hi Experts,
How can i get the material serial number?
Rgds,
Sruthi.

Hi Shruthi,
_Analysis_ :
A Sale Order (EBELN) can have one or more Materials (MATNR) in its line items (POSNR).
Each of these Materials will be used in one or more Equipments (EQUNR). The combination would be unique and this unique combination generates a unique Serial No.
For each Material in a Sales Order, we need to attach a u201CSerial No. Profileu201D. (These Serial No. Profiles are defined in SPRO settings).
In a Sale Order, we can see the Serial No. for a particular Material, only if the Serial No. Profile is defined/attached.
_To verify:_
Goto Tcode VA03. Enter the Order no.
In the Menu bar, go to u2013 Extras à Technical Objects : To find Sale Order No., Material, Equipment No, Serial No.
Logic to fetch Serial No. :
1.       Enter the Sales Order No. (VBELN) in table VBAP.
Determine:
·         Materials (VBAP-MATNR) for this VBELN
·         Position No.( VBAP-POSNR)
·         Serial No. Profile (VBAP-SERAIL).
2.       Enter the Sales Document No. (VBELN) into table SER02.
Determine:
·         Object No. (OBKNR) for each Position (POSNR) of the Sale Document.
3.    From steps 1 & 2 :
      Enter this Object No. (SER02-OBKNR) and Material (VBAP-MATNR) into table QBJK.
      Fetch the following fields:
·         Equipment No. (EQUNR)
·         Serial No. (SERNR)
This logic actually works. I have implemented it jst a month ago.
Hope this solves your problem.
Rgds,
Lakshmi

Serial Number creation for a material with stock type

Hi,
I am not able to create the serial number for a material which should have valuation type, plant and storage location using the function module ITOB_SERIALNO_CREATE_SINGLE.
There is no export or changing parametre for this function module for Valuation type(EQBS-LBBSA),
Plant(EQBS-B_WERK) and
Storage Location(EQBS-B_LAGER)
Can any one suggest me the BAPI or function module to create a serial number for a material with valudation type, plant and storage location rather tan going for BDC to transaction code IQ01.
(Note: We can create the serial number with valuation type manually using the transaction code "IQ01" for agiven material.)
For suitable answers would be rewarded.
Regards
Badari
Edited by: badari Narayana on Feb 10, 2008 5:20 PM

I have the solution below.
- Don't change Serial no. profile
- Goods issue all stock with mvt 201 or 261 into temporary cost object and note your text.
- Change Serial no. profile in material master
- Goods receipt all stock (You may ref. material doc.) and you need to input serial number for all materials.
Hope this solution can help you.
