Reuse of Equipment (Material+Serial) in Intracompany Sale

Dear Experts
I am technical consultant. However I got stuck into one functional scenario. Client has got two companies with company codes 1101 & 900. Both use same SAP system for their processes. They generally do Intracompany Sales. For Ex. Sale from 1101 to 900. And later on, there is Sales Cycle which is done from 900 to End Customer or Distributor. Consider a sale of a Machine (Material + Serial) from 1101 to 900. Now as SAP system has already consumed material + serial combination for this intracompany sale, the same material + serial can not be used for sale from 900 to Customer. Is there any way that client can reuse same Material + Serial for second sales cycle???
Please consider that the configurations for a machine are different in both the Sales Cycles.
Thanks in advance.

Rachin,
Run SHD0. Give IW81 in field  Transaction Code. Keep cursor in field  Transaction Variant and press F4.
You will get values if some work was done on this Tcode here. Here the value we got is ZIW81
(In case you do not get any values you need not proceed further)
Now take this value and Continue. You will get Screen Variants list in the Transaction Variant Tab.
A Transaction variant is a group of several screen variants. (Initial screen, and various tabs etc)
You see in this case several screen-variants are seen. Our screen is initial screen i.e., 0106.
Now Go to Screen Variants Tab and give this value. i.e., ZIW81_0106 and click on Display.
This screen will be in front of you. Here for your case, the check-boxes against the fields Equipment and Serial number in the Column Invisible  should be tick-marked like shown below.
I did not work much on SHD0, If you are interested, refer to this document How to Create a Transaction Variant.
However, if you do not find anything in SHD0 for this post, continue in other angles.

  • 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,

    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.

  • Intracompany sale and purchase of material

    Hi All
    I would like to know how can intracompany sale and purchase be carried out in SAP?
    Details of problem:
    There are 2 LOBs under one company code which are represented  by 2 diff plants, valaution area and profit centre.
    When 1 LOB requires component "A" (trading component), then LOB 2 sells this item to LOB1 with profit margin.
    How can this scenario be mapped in SAP so that my material inventory doesnt inflate and at the same time there is sale shown in LOB 2 and purchase in LOB1. Also corresponding entries of internal sale and internal purchase are shown in resp profit centre.
    Request you to please help me out.
    Regards
    Rakesh

    Hi gj,
    SAP's answer to the requirement was already mentined above. SAP foresees to use a parallel profit center valuation where the internal sales would be represented.
    from the help docu:
    Company A sells a product to Company B, thereby realizing a profit that must be shown in its balance sheet (corporate and tax balance sheets). Because Company A and Company B both belong to a group, this sale is merely as an internal stock transfer when looked at from the point of view of the group. Thus no group (internal) profits can be realized as a result of this transfer. Such internal profits can also arise when the exchange is between two profit centers instead of two independent companies of the group.

    Dear Venu,
    You want to generate Alphanumeric Serial Number that is possible by following Enhancement for Serial Numbers:
    Pls find here some details about generating alphanumeric serial numbers as below :
    You can generate alphanumeric serial number with the following BADI / Customer Exit:
    Name of Enhancement : IQSM0001
    Name of Function Module Exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
    Name of Include : ZXQSMU01
    ZXQSMU01:
    This user exit can be used to create the serial numbers automatically for material of a production order. Number of serial numbers generated will be equal to the total number of quantity. The purpose behind development of this user exit was to attach prefix in each serial number generated.
    so as per your requirement you can generate serial number like ABC0001 etc.
    Process Steps:
    For exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
    1. Get serial number profile for a material in respective plant.
    2. Check if the profile is u2018XYZu2019.
    3. If profile is u2018XYZu2019 generate the serial numbers for the given quantity of material in production order.
    General Program Structure
    For exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001
    1. Get the serial number profile using function module 'MARC_SINGLE_READ' for a material.
    2. Check if the profile is u2018XYZu2019.
    3. If the serial number profile is u2018XYZu2019 then generate the serial numbers for the given production order quantity of a material.
    4. Concatenate ABC as a prefix to the all generated serial numbers
    Provide above details reg. implementation BADI / Enhancement to your ABAPer and go ahead.
    You can implement above Enhancement in CMOD.
    Hope this helps.
    Revert in case of any doubt.
    Award points if useful.

  • 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.

  • Serial number related sales orders???

    Hi everyone,
    i got this problem when i try to use serial number of an equipment to search all related sales orders.
    in our company it is defined that serial number would be created in the first sales order, when the customer purchase the configurable products at the first time.--- we call that initial sales.
    then after months or year, customer could come again and buy upgrades or addtional options on that products(we can select serial number to locate that machine in the configurator in sales order)--- we call that following up sales.
    so, now the situation is, i can call TA IQ03 to see the equipment and through reference to find the initial sales order, HOWEVER... if i want to have an overview of all Equipments related following up sales, Is that possible ??? or at least the last following up sales which determine the configuration status in the service equipment.
    i dont see any info about that in IE03 or IQ03, is that to be found in any tables, if i would rather write a small report to do that?
    the only way i can figure out now is to check the configuration of sales orders, maybe through VBAP-CUOBJ then call function to get the serial number... is there any other way?
    thanks a lot !!!

    hi, Ncvajja:
    First thanx for ur instant reply.
    i would try ur way on monday, but as i assumed,
    the method u mentioned may be correct in those companies where the serial number is automatically created by delivery. (as i remembered, the table SER01 is for delivery)
    however in our company the serial number is saved in SER02, which are order related, that means the serial number is automatically created after the sales order is created.
    so in this way, i only find the first order through SER01 or 02, no matter it is delivery or sales order, but what i want is the sales order after that. in the following sales process, the serial number is already there for selection...
    anyway, those above is only based on my knowledge, iif i was wrong about this, hehe, please tell me, i am quite junior in this area...
    thanx

  • Intracompany sales/stock transfer management processes with WBS and New G/L

    Hi all,
    we have a scenario in which we need to transfer project stock between two projects. Both belong to the same Company Code. The transfer must be conduct as if it was a sale.
    Basically the scenario is the following:
    1) Material A is in stock of Plant P1 under Project WBS1 (linked to Functional Area FA1).
    2) Plant 2 needs to "purchase" that stock and put it under WBS2 (linked to Functional Area FA2).
    We have new G/L with the Functional Area set as a balancing dimension so any transfer between the two Plants should generate a billing document to balance the two Functional Areas. The stock should be moved between the two Plants/Projects.
    How would you manage this scenario in SAP?
    I've read all the documentation related to Intercompany Business Processes in SD Billing and everything related to Transfer Prices with New GL however I've found no information on this particular scenario.
    In particular, the STO cannot be used since it allows only to move the stock between two Plants without having the WBS dimension on the receiving plant (i.e. I can move stock from Plant P1/WBS1 to Plant P2/WBS1 - which is not what I need since I need it on WBS2). Besides, but I'm not sure, the automated billing seems to be possible only in case the transfer is between Plants belonging to different company codes (I still need a FI document for balancing the Functional Areas).
    The transfer price scenario, which is the one recommended by SAP for Intracompany sales, is not applicable as well since we don't have Profit Centers and, as far as I've understood, it doesn't seem to allow stock transfer between different WBS as well.
    The only scenario I thought so far is to use a Purchase Order/Sales Order scenario:
    The PO would allow WBS2 to receive in Plant P2/WBS2 the stock purchased against internal vendor Plant P1.
    The SO would allow WBS1 to sell the stock (i.e. issue it from Plant P1/WBS1 to internal customer Plant P2).
    The billing would be done against the SO and the incoming invoice would be posted against the PO (hence recognizing internal revenues and internal expenses).
    This process, however, requires a lot of reconciliation activities and is error prone as there is no cross-check between SO and PO data.
    Do you have any hints or suggestions to manage this differently?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Ciao!
    Max

    Hi seesen_rs,
    thank you for your answer.
    We also thought of that but the issue is that the 301Q moves stock immediately while we need to monitor the order and the shipment of the material (the 301Q is posted when the goods arrive at P2/WBS2). Besides, we also need to consume budget upon order so the PO/STO would help us for the first part of the process (i.e. when the goods are requested from P2/WBS2), then we should do the 301Q and then the billing. In order to keep the whole document chain linked we should also make us of custom fields. An alternative would be to use direct Goods Issue and Goods Receipt however they would have no references for budget and material requirement tracking purposes, hence not very helpful.
    Also SAP said there is no easy way for managing this
    Ciao!

  • Serial number on sales order

    dear all!
    i am looking for the way to enter a serial number on sales order. i can enter it, but only via incompletion check. there is no menu entry, or button where to enter serial numbers in VA01, VA02.
    does anyone know how to enter the serial numbers for sales order items?

    Hi
        Serial number has to enter in the material master record, and setting have to be done in IMG-SD-BASIC FUNCTIONS-SERIAL NUMBERS-DETERMINE SERIAL NUMBER PROFILES.
    Similarly we can do the same even logistics execution.
    pls try these let me know it worked out or not.

  • Error reading material cost estimate for sales order (KE292)

    Dear All,
    I have an issue with billing. we are posting july month transactions, the material cost is maintained through MR21. When releasing billing document for accounting we are getting error message like"Error reading the material cost estimate for sales order "11"
    Message no. KE292
    Diagnosis
    In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate item 000010 of sales order 11 by reading the corresponding product cost estimate.
    However, no product cost estimate could be found for this sales order item.
    The system accessed product costing for product AMLFP011011XX00P using costing key YB3 as defined in the
    CO-PA Customizing settings.
    System Response
    The system cannot process the document any further.
    Procedure
    Check your Customizing settings."
    We cross checked with other client as a current date and we ran cost estimate through CK40N with same material. and we posted entries. Here it is working fine. but in above process it is not working. Can you pls guide me where i missed.
    Regards,
    Nagaraju,

    Hi,
    When the Costing Key is assigned to the material types in the COPA customizing, then system expects Cost estimation when billing is released to Accounts.
    If you dont run cost estimation but update the material master through MR21, system will not accept as in the Costing key configuration you must have selected the Current Standard price field for the valuation.
    Hence, try to run cost estimation and then do releasing.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Material/Serial Nbr is "Stuck" in a storage location and can not be moved

    We have a situation created by my customers which has lead to a situation I have never seen before.  A material/serial nbr. that is in our Returns location that can not be transfered, issued, removed, or anything via ANY MIGO movement type combination.
    This is what happend:
    - Customer return processed.  Material ABC, Batch XYZ with Serial Nbr. 123 brought into our "RT" StoreLoc.
    - Clerk processed MIGO to do a Stock Transfer of this material to another StoreLoc. (PS).  He entered in the material ABC, batch XYZ, and a bad serial number 1233.  He used a 453 Movement type.
    - After realizing his mistake, he processed MIGO again and processed a GI Xfer posting with a 972 movement type to get rid of the bad material/serial nbr. he had just moved to the PS StoreLoc.
    - Then he tried to redo the Stock Transfer using a 453 Movement type for the material ABC, batch XYZ, and the good serial nbr. 123, but, he gets a "Deficit of BA Ret.blocked prev. 1.000 EA " error message.
    - At this point, he contacts me to ask what can be done.
    No matter what we try to do, we can not access this part/serial nbr. combo to move it or issue it or whatever.  It is like a ghost now.  You can see the serial number via IQ03, but you can not do anything with this part/serial nbr.
    Help!  Do I need to write an ABAP to physically delete this material/serial nbr from its batch?

    Hi,
    First of all, I would assume you used customized movement type 972 to 'get rid of' your material ID with wrong serial number 1233 at PS storage location.  If this is the case, then this posting did not return the stock quantity from PS to your RT storage location and that why when you tried to make another posting (with correct serial number 123), an error message was popped up as you simply do not have available stock.  The solution in this case are -
    1)   Cancel the posting that you made previously with movement type 972.  This cancellation will help return your stock (though with wrong serial number 1233) to PS storage location;
    2)   Cancel the posting that you have posted to move your stock back from PS to RT (again with wrong serial number).  This steps ensure the stock quantity '1' is available at RT storage location;
    3)   Make another stock transfer (with correct movement type 453 and serial number 123) from RT;
    4)   Delete the serial master record 1233 so that it can no longer be used.
    Cheers,
