Plant Management documentation serialized equipment stock adjustments

In the Plant Management module is there any documentation how to make serizlized equipment stock adjustments within a plant. When to change the equipment status for a material to ie ALVB, ECUS, ESTO, etc.

Hello Shirley,
Yes this PM-MM integration through Serial Numbers is tricky and not many resources are available.
IMHO for material types that can be serialized, I would make the serialization profile mandatory through field selection or user-exit. This way the material would be always moved according to the serial profile rules.
I just found there is a new documentation available from SAP. Do a Google Search on "Serial Number Management (126)" that should get you to the following URL: http://help.sap.com/bp_bl603/BBLibrary/HTML/126_EN_CA.htm
Using serial numbers, you can track each individual material during goods movement. This building block includes the configuration settings for serial number management and shows the serial number handling on finished goods level.
As always with Best Business Process, you want to check the "Configuration Guide" and the "Business Process Documentation".
Display Serial Number Status
...     You will the status of the serial number. There could be more than one active status:
AVLB      Available
ECUS      At customer site
EDEL      Assigned in delivery note
ESTO      In the warehouse
That looks like your original question

Serial Number Stock Check at the time of Delivery

Experts,
Process:
Sales Order PR(Purchase Order) GR( New Serial Numbers are created automatically or manually keyed in)
Once the Goods Receipt is received, we do the (SO) DELIVERYu2014SERIAL NUMBER ASSIGNMENT Post Goods Issue
Issue:
Current Serial Number Profile Management does not do a valid serial number check during DELIVERY CREATION where we do a SERIAL NUMBER ASSIGNMENT.
Only during POST GOODS ISSUE, the check happens for valid serial numbers; this is too late in the game for business as there is a time lag of 3 days from the DELIVERY CREATION and PGI.
Reason being--- We donu2019t check the following u201C Existing Stock Checku201D( which does a serial number validation during delivery creation as well)
SPRO>Plant Maintenance and Customer Service>Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service>Technical Objects>Serial Number Management>Define Serial Number Profiles
If we check this option, the business requirement to do a valid serial number check does happen during delivery creation, however we cannot create new serial numbers during Purchase Order- GOODS RECEIPT.
QUESTION:
Can we have the system check the valid serial numbers from stock during delivery creation and serial number assignment.
And Also create new serial numbers during Purchase Order- Goods Receipt.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. This field is having the value the count of serial numbers entered irrespective of the valid serial numbers entered. I created two delivery document, one with serial number which was not there in the stock and the other with a valid serial number. For both the delivery document LIPS-ANZSN gives the count of serial number which I have entered.
Please let me know how can I move further.

Item Manage by Serial Number

hello all,
related to my question Service Module, Can i use the Service Module?
what should i do if my item master data has an Onhand qty. and it is not manage by Serial Number, now i want to manage this item master data by Serial Number,but SBO Prompt me w/ the ff. message (You can modify the "Manage item by" setting only when the available quantiry is zero and there are no serial or batch numbers available).
please advice what is the best practice and workaround for this scenario
thanks ang best regards,
Fidel

Hi,
You can't change the item master data manage by batch to manage by serial no.
There are two solutions to solving it i.e.:
A. First solution
1. Good issue all the quantities of item manage by batch
2. Change to manage by serial number after item stock on hand is zero
if step A.2. is failed, use step B:
1. Create new item code manage by serial
2. Good issue all quantities of item manage by batch
3. set on hold for item manage by batch

Change item to be managed by serial numbers

Hi All,
I know this is not an SDK/development question, but have no idea where else to search for answer. So any suggestions will be appreciated!
I have an item that is created as not to be managed by serial numbers. I then do a goods receipt for the item. Then afterwards I want to change the item to a serial item. Is there any way that I can allocate serial numbers to the items already in stock (those that were created before manage serial was switched on?)
Thanks a lot in advance,
Adele

Hi Ibai,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried this, but it adds the quantity I type in the Initial Quantity to the existing quantity, so I have double the required amount in stock after this operation. I have sent a query to SAP and their response was:
Hi, unfortunately it is not possible to assign serial numbers to items in stock that was entered BEFORE you turned on the serial number management. The system assigns the numbers only to the items that had 'manage item by serial number' ticked before they were purchased/sold. But it is possible to add serial numbers to items with transactions, but you can only add them trough new receipt documents (not update the "old" items that were in stock before you turned on the "serial management") This also means that you cannot add serial numbers to this item in a salesorder, delivery or invoice that was made before the management was turned on - unless you cancel the document and enter it again. The "drawback" with this is that you will not have equal numbers of serial numbers and actual items in stock. (The customer will always come to a point where they need to receive more quantity of this item to create new serial numbers again.) The solution can be at some stage to issue the stock with no serial numbers to a different warehouse or to get rid of this stock in other ways. The other option is to issue all stock from warehouse, and enter them again trough an opening balance, this time WITH serial numbers. You will then have equal number of stock and serial numbers.
So, it doesn't seem to be possible.

Batch Management and serial Number Management

Hi Friends,
I have a an issue.
We are using Batch management and serial number for few materials.
While selecting F4 for checking available batch numbers and serial numbers during issues , transfer posting,stock transfer etc.., system dispalys all Batches/Serial numbers which are created for that particular material. i.e all Batches and serial numbers irrespective of whether there are stocks available , whether they are cancelled/deleted will appear in the list
Our requirement is when F4 is selected system should list only live/existing batch numbers and serial numbers of that particular material.
Can any one help us
Thx
Deva

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for your input.
However my requirement is instead of going to separate T.code IQ09 , user wants to list the existing Batch/Ser no details while selecting F4 during issues
Thx

Adding Item managed by serial no.s to Delivery Document

Hello Experts,
Can you please help me in the following?
I'll appreciate your help.
I want to add items managed by Serial Number to delivery document (using DI API).
We have a set of internal serial numbers to be used for those items.
For E.g, we have to add an item with code A0001, quantity of 2, with internal serial numbers to be used 00080,00090
to the delivery document.
(We allow the user to specify the internal serial numbers to be used).
I'm not sure how to get the system serial number for this item.
I believe OSRI has the Serial No/Internal serial no. for each item, w.r.t the marketing documents. (Is each item has its own set of system serial nos & internal serial no.s? From where we need to take it?)
Can you please post if you have any sample code?
(If possible, can you please explain me the relationship between OSRI and marketing documents, and oitem)
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Geetha
Code that I'm using:
Private Function UpdateSerialNumbers(ByRef objSerialNumbers As SAPbobsCOM.SerialNumbers, ByVal strShpReqNm As String, ByVal strShpReqRw As String) As Boolean
'Get the values of Internal Serial numbers from our table, into this RS.
If objRS.RecordCount > 0 Then
objRS.MoveFirst()
Dim i As Integer
If objSerialNumbers.Count <= 0 Then SerialNumbers.Add()
For i = 0 To objRS.RecordCount - 1
Dim strTmp As String
strTmp = objRS.Fields.Item(0).Value() & ""
objSerialNumbers.SetCurrentLine(i)
objSerialNumbers.InternalSerialNumber = strTmp 'e.g 00080
'Need your help in this step
objSerialNumbers.SystemSerialNumber = objCommon.GetNextKeyValue("OSRI", "SysSerial")
objRS.MoveNext()
If Not objRS.EoF Then
SerialNumbers.Add()
End If
Next
End If
End If
return true
End Function
Function CallingFn() as boolean
UpdateSerialNumbers(objDLDoc.Lines.SerialNumbers, objHeaderInfo.ShipReqNum, strTmp)
objDLDoc.Add
End Function

Geetha,
let me explain you shortly how the serial data is stored in the database
OSRI - Serial Numer for Items
SRI1 - Serial No. Trans. for Item
OSRI and SRI1 are "connected" by SysSerial
SRI1 is connected to the Document Tables Lines (INV1, DLN1, ...)
with BaseType, BaseNum and BaseLinNum to the Document
a Serial Number is Unique - 1 SerialNr = 1 Quantity (thats the difference to Batches)

SAP RVBCONVMAT2BM Set Batch Management to materials with stock

Dear Gurus:
We are trying to make mass changes in material master, to activate arround 2,000 materials with batch management flag. We heard about the SAP program release RVBCONVMAT2BM, to let us do it in ma massive action.
Could anyone of you can give me support to get this program?
In other way, the tasks to be done manually will be not succesful because we currently have more than one month of operations in SAP.

Hi Jose,
The report could only be provided by SAP developer after evaluate the specific situation on your system. I think the evaluation process should be very complex and that is why your reported issue has been hold at SAP for such a long time, also only a completed evaluation is done, the SAP developer could provide the report, this is to ensure the data consistency in your system because change the batch management indicator with material stock is a very dangerous bevavior, this could only be done under a strict check. You can't run this report by your own if this is not provided by SAP, because if it cause any serious database inconsistency by running this report without evaluation from SAP developer, then SAP will not responsible for the result and will not help you correct the situation, so I suggest you should better have some pacient and wait for the update from SAP developer, or you may escalate your issue to require a quick process.

As of Contract Management 13, serial numbers are no longer used.

Hello Primavera users,
We are currently using Contract Manager v12 on a major program here in the UAE and looking to upgrade soon to v13.
Regarding this knowledge base posting (below), does v13 still support concurrent user licenses, and if so what are Oracle's plans moving forward in terms of Contract Manager?
I would love to hear the views of the Primavera community, especially in relation to these changes with serial numbers etc...
Thanks & Regards,

Well, it's just a simple pipe afterall, a tool to give you brief information upon which you decide what to do. Also, there's a minor annoyance, it should go like this:
stat -c '%x %n' /usr/bin/* | sort
I mixed long and short options for a moment there, that gets rid of the '=' in front of every line.

In warehouse management how to post stock in the warehouse by using physica

hi
in warehouse management how to post stock in the warehouse by using physical inventory method
can anyone tell me the process in detail
thanksin advance.

HI ,
In Ware house management you can block the stock for Physical Inventory purpose. You cannot post the stock to the warehouse using Physical Invenory.
If there is a count going on so the concerned Warehouse bin is to be blocked during Inventory so that no further goods movement is possible during that period.
Once the Physical Inventory ids done the block can be released so that the movement can again happen.
The Inventory mangement initiates the transfer requirement. This transfer requirement is used for creating the transfer orders. The transfer order confirmation is done then which actually places the stock in the concerned bin mentioned in the order.
The stock in WM can be checked in LX24/ LX26 which is same as theat of MMBE of MM.
Hope this helps.

Stock Adjustments

Hi all,
I want to get a list of all stock adjustments in the system supplier wise. Whats the best way to achieve this? Either by querying the Goods Issue and Goods Receipt tables, or what. Thanks.
Regards,
Henry

Hi Henry
The best way to query inventory movements is to use the OINM table. This table contains all transactions that impact both qty and value of items. It also corresponds to the OJDT/JDT1 tables.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Stock Mismatch at Plant level and Serial Number Collection

Hi,
I'm working on with the material stocks in my application. For the serialised material (MATNR = 50004050), I'm gettting the plant level stock as 20 and the corresponding serial numbers collection for the same material is 27 which is wrong. Since the plant level stock and the serial number collection should be one and the same
I'm using MARA, MARC table for getting the plant level stock and EQUI and EQBS table to get the serial number collection. If I increase the stock using the transaction 'MB1C' and movement type '561', the serial numbers which I'm giving for the serialised material is coming in the serial number collection but the plant level stock still in the previous value itself. If I raise the stock for the serialised material, the plant level stock also should get updated.
Please let me know, how can I get the stock equal in both plant and serial number collection.
Thanks in Advance,
Mohan.

This could happen, if the status of serial number is wrongly updated to ESTO. From where are you taking serial numbers?Physically what is right the qty showing plant stock or the qty showing serial number? May be you go and check the history of the serial number to see if it is really available in stock.
Also it can be serial number is optional so though the stock is reduced but serial number is not captured while issuing so the stock at plant level is less but serial number is more,
If this is the case, reconciallation directly from tables will be difficult.
