Equipment & Material Serial Numbers

Dear Masters,
Our MM Consultant has defined a new material type with serial number as mandatory. Now, at the time of posting in Goods Receipt, it is giving the error for the equipment number range for object EQUIP_NR.
We do not want to create any Equipment directly for this but why this is shown this error please do help, its urgent.
Thanks in advance,
Chin2

Dear Friends,
Thanks for your prompt reply, we had created the serial number profile with option 02 (with equipment) but now we have changed it to 01(without equipment) as per you both said. But still we are getting the same error screen. And the error screen is showing the error about the equipment number range.
Please do guide
Thanks once again.

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

Serial numbers assigned to booked stock but irrelevant at goods issue point

Can anyone help me get a better understanding of material serial numbers?
I am exploring this area using SAP standard configuration:
i)     I have created a material that that has assigned to it serial number profile 0001 which includes:
a.     SDAU     Serial numbers in SD order 01 (No)
b.     SDCC     Completeness check for delivery 03 (Mandatory)
c.     SDLS     Maintain delivery 02 (Optional)
ii)     I have used MIGO to place 2 items in stock (GR 561 u2013 initial stock balance) and as expected the serial number tab opened up and I assigned 2 unique serial numbers to each of my pieces of stock: Serial_Test_1 & Serial_Test_2
iii)     I then created a sales order (OR) for one item and again as expected, the item was scheduled for immediate delivery from stock without reference to the relevant serial number
iv)     The problem was that I then managed to create a delivery and pick it without being prompted for a serial number (mandatory completeness check?)
v)     I then went back into the delivery and assigned a serial number via Item u2013 Serial Numbers but it let me input and serial number that wasnu2019t associated with any item I had in stock (e.g. Serial_Test_3) which I then PGIu2019d!
vi)     Going back to my stock overview, I now only had 1 item (good) but both serial numbers were present (bad .. I think)?
Am I missing something here? Is there a prerequisite action I must take to get the system to insist on a particular stock item to be specified before it can be issued and that the stock overview will only show serial numbers for items that are in stock? My system at present appears corrupt to me as I only have one item in stock but 2 serial number?
Any help or insight much appreciated.

Hi,
You posted qty 2 with serial number's
Now you have stock of 2 qty with serial number
when you do delivery, you have to assign serial number which is already in stock.then it will show status properly
Remain qty 1 and 1 serail number.

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.
With regards,
Jeeva

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.

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.

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

Movements of a material which maintains serial numbers

Hi experts,
Need to track the movements of a material which maintains serial numbers. Need to get data such as PO number, PO line item, Material code, GR number, GRN date, serial number of the item, Goods Issue note, issue date and the text feild.
pls note that the requirement is need to fulfill in a single report,
eg: For the material XYZ we have raised a po namely ABC123
the most important thing in this report is to get the GRN, Serial number and the goods issue note
with the use of ITOB table i can get the serial number and with the use of MSEG can get the GRN
problem is with the issue note
ichecked with IQ 09 T code and using the history tab i can get the movement of that serial number
but when you check the table which maintain data for the movement of serial number, they are maintained in structure and not in a table,
therefore how can i get the required information
pls assist to solve this, thanks in advance

Check IQ09 Tcode.

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.

Certificates using serial numbers with material without batch assigned

Hi experts...how can i track serial numbers and inspection lots from roh material without batch assign but with serial numbers ? these roh materials were used in PO without batch assign to FERT material yet. Is possible use where-used list only to manage serial number or only using batch administration over the serial numbers ?
i will apreciatte any answer!
Regards
Marco Antonio Trois Endres

Hi ,
This seems to be a Material Management configuration question, I dont know if this will answer it
You will have to configure the Characteristics of your Material from a task list and transfer/Copy it to your Certificate profile,
there has to be a feature to enter the desired selection Criteria based on your question
Work with the security team if your MM_G and MM_S class objects can help open or close certain authroization objects to achieve your goal.
in one of the google search it states that
"This can be done from Extras Characteristics from your task list.
A dialog box appears for entering the selection criteria for the task list"
Will Need more security related information to help you on this.

Erasing serial numbers for material

Hi
can anyone help me out with the following?
pls tell me how can we erase some serial numbers of a particular material?

Hi,
You cann't remove the serial no which is assigned to the material.
You can modify the serial no which is already assigned to that material.
If you had entered the wrong serial number and want to change the serial number
goto Transaction -IQ02. Enter the material and correct serial number.
then in Edit --> Special Serial No Functions --> Change Serial No
save the material number
