Researching Serial Numbers for MTO Production

Hello,
I work for a make-to-order manufacturing company.  We currently use Project Systems and PP for production.  We use the Project Definition + WBS Element as the serial number of our finished, sellable product (FERT).
I am trying to investigate using SAP serial number feature instead, but everything I am reading (SAP Help Files) seems more geared toward mass-production.  Can anyone direct me to some information on a MTO scenario for serial numbering?
Thanks very much!
Timothy

Hi Timothy,
Serial number functionality is more applicable to MTO. In typical Mass production (Make to stock ) PP implementation , Batch management will be sufficient to identify if there is any quality issue for finished goods. But most MTO PP implementation would require Serial number functionality as you will need to track it for warranty( What has been revsion level for FG) .
You are using Project+WBS number as serial number which measn you have to use external serial numbers.  There are user exist available to configure Serial number suffix. Projects have Project ID which can be Serial number suffix.
There is possibility of doing Delivery from Project( Not very commonly used) , but if you need to generate serial numbers for each project delivered, you need to create DO from project & assign serial number (First time in system). This is because Projects are compleleted without any FG number assigned anywhere in header & Project package is delivered & it don't have stock functionality.
Hope it helps,
Jatin

  • Any way to find serial numbers for my products...

    Hi ,
    Being the dinosaur that i am I am running an old version of Adobe creative suite (CS3).  I would like to put this same version on a new computer but I do not have the serial numbers any longer as my PST file was destroyed when I changed computers in 2009.  When I go to my adobe account it says I have no products - I amnot sure if this is becasue it is so old or becasue the account was set up under and old email address.  Any help woudl be greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Dianne

    If you registered the software when you originally installed it then it might be available thru your Adobe account online.
    It might not be though.  Up until maybe the new year I still had my CS3 information available in my account but it is not longer there nowadays.  If I try to re-enter the serial number (I have it from the discs) to re-register it comes back indicating the product is already registered, despite not displaying it as one of my products.  Fishy to me...
    Anyways, if you contact Adobe Support thru chat they might be willing to assist you... or they might deny helping on the basis of the product no longer being supported.  If so, try again... there might be someone more reasonable available.

  • Serial numbers for original product and upgrade. CS5.5 serial number is not accepted by CS6 upgrade installer.

    I had CS5.5. I purchased an upgrade to CS6 but due to machine limitations never successfully installed it. My machine has recently been reformatted, so of course CS5.5 is gone. I tried to install CS6 and it likes my serial number, but says I need an upgradable product and asks for a serial number for my upgradeable product. When I enter my Cs5.5 serial number, I'm told it's not a qualifying product. Any ideas?

    I am having the same problem and previously I have had to contact support with the challenge code and such.  Here is the information on my software.
    cs5.5 master collection is windows
    cs6 master collection is windows.
    Was there a reason I cannot find the chat option anymore?
      thank you in advance.

  • Why am I ineligible for Creative Cloud Complete when I have serial numbers for CS3 products??

    I am trying to purchase Creative Cloud Complete for $29.99, as I have previously purchased Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign CS3, and have the serial numbers. However, when I entered the serial numbers on the form to order Creative Cloud, it said I was not eligible, but had no explanation why.

    Hi mccalel,
    CS3 is a very very old software and is not a qualifying version for upgrade.
    Not sure I follow.
    The discounted promotional deal (for the first 12 months) for existing owners of CS3-CS6 suites is what the OP is trying to take advantage of.

  • Serial Numbers for Production Orders

    Hi All
    Can anyone tell me the table in which the serial numbers are stored for the production orders?  I have created a production order and have assigned serial numbvers to it.  Now I want to extract these serial numbers from the table.
    Thanks in advance.
    Tom

    Hello Jack,
    In table SER05, the list of serial number details can be obtained.key the order noin ser05 table, get field OBJKNR, then pass this OBJKNR in table OBJK .
    Some useful table for serial numbers
    SER00 Generic table for serial numbers
    SER01 Serial numbers assigned to a delivery
    SER02 Serial numbers assigned to a guarentee
    SER03 Serial numbers assigned to a material document
    SER04 Serial numbers assigned to an inspection lot
    SER05 Serial numbers for a production order
    SER06 Serial numbers for Handling Units
    SER07 Serial numbers for Stocktaking
    SER08 serial numbers for Orders (SD)
    The assignment of serial numbers to a production order can be done either via transaction CO02 or at the latest when the GR from Production is made.
    I hope that this information clarifies the issue.

  • 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 ?

  • SERIAL NUMBERS FOR ASSEMBLY ORDERS

    hI,
    I would like to know, how serial numbers for Assembled products be assigned .
    If possible, please explain it in details as I'm in different module altogether.
    Regards
    RD

    Hi Durai,
    1. First You need to assign the Serial number profile in Material Master under Plant data2.
    2. System will create serial numbers at the time of production order release.
    3. a) In QM point of view under Inspection type active tick mark in Serial numbers.
    b) Your MIC should be single result recording and Sample size should be 100%.
    C) with r. to above you can record the result as well as stock posting done serial number wise.
    Revert further clarification.

  • HT1349 Do I only have a certain window of time to register my Apple Service and Support protection plan before it expires? I certainly hope not I paid for it and could never get the serial numbers for product & protection to sync together!

    Do I only have a certain window of time to register my Apple Service and Support protection plan before it expires? I certainly hope not I paid for it and could never get the serial numbers for product & protection to sync together!

    Normally must register an AppleCare plan before the original warranty on the Mac expires. If you have problems registering the AppleCare plan for your MacBook, call Apple tech support and ask to be connected to AppleCare Plan Adminstration.
    For future posts, please make sure you're in the most appropriate forum for the product or service you're asking about. You'll be most likely to get quick and accurate help that way.

  • Serial Numbers for products purchased in Mac App Store

    How do I find the serial number for my Adobe product that I purchased from the Mac App store? I've reviewed the FAQ, help, and forums, but can't find an answer specific to products purchased from Mac App store. I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Editor. I want to register it with Adobe but I need the serial number. It is nowhere to be found.
    Thx!

    Hi. Soooo, I did contact them, because the first Adobe customer service person I chatted with told me to contact them. I sent a message to Apple support and told them that I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 from the Mac App Store, aaaaaand they told me to contact Adobe. I'm going in circles!
    Apple support said that the only thing I could do was "redownload the program" and "see if it asks me for the serial number" this time. They had no idea where to tell me to look for the serial number. Incidentally, there's technically no "download" option when you purchase from the Mac App store. After you click "buy," the option that displays is simply "install." So you click on that and the program installs. When it's finished, you can launch the program and, when you do, it just opens like normal. There is no prompt to register the product or enter the serial number. But I want to register my product with Adobe.com so I can be sure to get updates on it.
    Incidentally, I also already checked out the links you provided (which I did indicate in my original message). There is nothing there that gives any guidance whatsoever on where to find the serial number for a product purchased from the Mac App store. The closest option is the "store download" option, but those guidelines tell you to enter the redemption code. I was never given a redemption code. I simply clicked "buy" and then "install" and - poof! - the program was loaded on to my MacBook Pro.
    Surely i am not the only person who has ever purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Editor from the Mac App store. There HAS to be someone who knows what to do here.
    Thanks!

    Hi Shane,
    Please download Acrobat X Pro from the link below.
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
    Install the software and when prompted for the previous version qualifying product, select Acrobat 9 and enter the serial key of Acrobat 9.
    This should install and activate Acrobat X Pro on the machine.

  • Missing Serial Numbers for CS4 COmponents & Acrobat X Pro

    Greetings!
    I installed CS5.5 on my 32-bit system, which means I had to install the included "complimentary" CS4 copies of After Effects & Premiere Pro.  As stated in one of the Adobe troubleshooting sections I read, the CS4 components require a separate CS4 serial number.  As also stated in that same section, Acrobat and CS products have different serial numbers.  Unfortunately, I was only given one serial number, and that one was for CS5.5.  See image below for related screenshot collage.
    The serial number has been intentionally rendered unreadable for obvious reasons, but it's sufficient to show that there's only one serial number associated with my products.  I need serial numbers for the 32-bit CS4 components and for Acrobat X Pro.  How do I get them?  I tried chatting with an Adobe support agent a couple weeks ago, and he told me he couldn't help me.  He said I needed to get the serial numbers from the company that provided me with the CS5.5 serial number (Identit-E, who evidently gets involved with providing serial numbers for validated student license purchases).  They said they couldn't help me, and that I had to get with Adobe!  So I'm being run around in circles with nobody taking responsibility!  And when I tried to follow instructions and a link that I thought MIGHT give me some answers (on this page:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/517/cpsid_51791.html)...
    "In North America: If you're a student or educator, look in the Adobe Student Licensing website"
    ...I got a warning from my browser that it's an untrusted site:
    I'm not into taking that kind of risk.
    So I've done about all I can think to do, including contacting the actual reseller who sold me the software (no word from them yet).  Nobody's claiming responsibility, and they're pointing at each other.  That leaves me in the middle with no answers and only partially working, very expensive software!
    If there are any ideas from folks on this forum, I'm all ears!
    Thanks!

  • Serial Numbers update on Production Order

    If these order are created with order type having internal number ranges assignement then you can not assign number externally to these orders or else you can give numbers manually or created LSMW for them..
