Answer 1

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.
