Serial Number creation in SD

Hi all,
I am facing the issues in SAP SD regarding the serial number.
The scenario is my client wants the serial number to be created at the time of sales order itself.
I assigned the serial number profile into the material master.
In sales order i selected the material and created the serial number automatically.When i am saving the sales order it throws an error like "Number range does not exist for Equipment"..**
I checked in the t.code OIS2 - ser.profile- 0002, i selected and given the priority of serial number to SDCC (03) rest all are 02 only.Equipment requirement is "01" without Eq Re selected.
Suggest me if you have idea on settings related to serial number creation in sales order. My project also involves PP and PM module but they are not creating Serial number.
I checked in the t.code OIEN  for number ranges groups, it shows the it show number range groups and equipment. I am not familiar with this equipment so i left it.
regards
Harish

Thanks SAP Student, As per ur suggestion changed the serial number profile (SDAU) and eq.usage(01),
After creating the serial number automatically in sales order, at the time of saving the sales order it asking again the same error "Number range doesnot exits for Equipment".
My Plant maintanence consultant says he was using the external number range for the equipment. He has not done anything for internal number range.
Can anyone suggest me how it is related with equipment and how to go ahead.

  • Serial number creation at the time of GI

    Dear Experts,
                   I want to create sreial number and equipment number simultaneously at the time of GI
    please hel m out with customization settings.
    Thanks
    Warm regards

    Using existing serial number is not giving me perfect solution.....
    there is no validation of matching serial number which has been created before for that material
    e.g.
    if i am having one line item with quatity:10
    At GR 10 serial numbers will be generated.
    at GI he can assign any serial number to any material which is not desirable in my case.
    Please let me know can we stop serial number creation at the time of GR?????
    I want it should create only at the time of GI
    Thanks

  • Serial Number Creation Speed Issue

    Hi all,
    I have GRPO that constantly (Weekly) need to be entered into SBO with Serial Number Items with Qty of, sometimes, over 100000 Numbers.  The posting of this GRPO takes a very long time, hours, but what is worse, no one can do any work in SBO since the entire system is "Locked" or is very very very slow.
    Does anyone have any suggestion or solution that they can offer?
    Thanks

    Hi Peter,
    Yes, we are using the Automatically generated Serial Numbers and they are Sequential.
    Currently...
    1.  Create the Purchase Order (without Serial Numbers)
    2.  Create GRPO when Stock is Recieved.  The Serial Number Creation Screen opens.  We generate the Serial Numbers with the Automatic Function.  This does not take a very loooooong time (+- 10mins).  We Save it as a Draft.
    3.  At the end of the day when everyone is of the system, 5pm, we open the Draft and Post the GRPO.  This can take a loooooonnng time, HOURS!  This runs overnight on a Quad Dual Core (8 processors) but only one processes this as per Task Manager -> Performance Monitor.
    We need a better solution.

  • Serial number creation restriction

    I am creating serial number for finished goods in production order. once goods receipt is done. Quality inspection will occur. i want to restrict the creation of new serial number in Quality inspection and delivery. how it can be done

    Configure serial number profile based on your requirements.  Make it optional for goods movements  as you want to receive without serial number  and  use  03  usage for  QMSL  .

  • Serial Number creation for a material with stock type

    Hi,
    I am not able to create the serial number for a material which should have valuation type, plant and storage location using the function module ITOB_SERIALNO_CREATE_SINGLE.
    There is no export or changing parametre for this function module for Valuation type(EQBS-LBBSA),
                    Plant(EQBS-B_WERK) and
                   Storage Location(EQBS-B_LAGER)
    Can any one suggest me the BAPI or function module to create a serial number for a material with valudation type, plant and storage location rather tan going for BDC to transaction code IQ01.
    (Note: We can create the serial number with valuation type manually using the transaction code "IQ01" for agiven material.)
    For suitable answers would be rewarded.
    Regards

    I have the solution below.
    - Don't change Serial no. profile
    - Goods issue all stock with mvt 201 or 261 into temporary cost object and note your text.
    - Change Serial no. profile in material master
    - Goods receipt all stock (You may ref. material doc.) and you need to input serial number for all materials.
    Hope this solution can help you.

  • Serial number creation

    Hi
    I want to create serial number for final product and its 2 sub assemblies in SAP after quality inspection.
    And these 3 parts should have a link for traceability.
    Is this possible In standard.
    Janardhanan

    Thanks for your reply, your suggestion is almost to my requirement.
    I created a serial number through IQ01 for final product and sub assemblies and assigned sub assemblies serial numbers to final product in IQ02.
    Only thing is after assigning everything in IQ02, sub assembly serial numbers are not visible in structure tab,
    Please let me know if any solution to display sub-assembly serial numbers also in struture tab.
    Also while while creating a serial number, system is creating a equipment number parallely, it should not happen, any idea for this??
    Please advice..

  • Serial number creation at the completion of production order

    I am trying to create a production order and the finished goods is serialized. However, when I complete the production order it never asks me for a serial number for the finished goods. I have to go to registered products screen and manually create the serial number. I am assuming there is a way to minimize the number of step I have to use during the production process to create a serial number.
    Any Ideas?
    Thank you
    Chintan

    Hi Chintan,
    i believe that serial numbers are not supported in production orders.
    Serial numbers are available on delivering and receiving goods

  • Material serial number creation

    Hello,
    I have a scenario in setting up serial number for material. I am presently working on data migration from legacy system to SAP. Materials in legacy system has serial numbers assigned to it. I am migrating service contracts with service materials which should have equipments details in the technical objects details
    i wanted to know how to create serial no.s for the saleable materials in the contract with status ECUS ( equipment at customer).
    When i create serials numbers the material is in stock under a plant. But this should not be the case since the equipment is already at the customer .
    Please suggest a suitable solution for doing the same.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Serial Number Use

    Dear Experts,
    This is regarding the captioned subject.
    It has been observed that serial numbers created by the Manufacturing Units for the Production Purpose are being consumed by the Marketing Plants for Making GR at their end.
    Logically in Our Scenario, the Serial Number Creation and making use of the same for the Production is the privilege of MFG units. And the Serial Number Creation should happen at MFG Plant only (In exceptional cases in marketing also).
    But as a process the Serial Number Creation is at Material Code level only. When the New Serial Number gets created, the status of the same becomes AVLB. When the status of the serial number remains as AVLB then GR is possible for marketing branches also on this Serial Number( If the GR at Marketing Branch happens without any referance).  Due to which the Serial Number Created for the MFG are getting consumed by the Marketing Branches.
    Because of the use of Serial Number Created by MFG Plants by the Marketing Branches, the MFG Units could not confirm production and looses the Serial Number Track.
    The following are the Details of Serial Number Profile being used in the OurScenario.
    Serial Number Profile
    Profile      Profile Text     Exist Req.     Cat.     Equipment Category Description     StkCk
    0001     Serial no for PP-SD          S     Customer equipment     2
    Serializing Procedure
    Procd     Procedure Description     Ser Usage     EqReq
    MMSL     Maintain goods receipt and issue doc.     3     1
    PPAU     Serial numbers in PP order     1     1
    PPRL     PP order release     1     1
    PPSF     Serial nos in repetitive manufacturing     3     1
    QMSL     Maintain inspection lot     3     1
    SDAU     Serial numbers in SD order     1     1
    SDCC     Completness check for delivery     3     1
    SDCR     Completion check IR delivery     3     1
    SDLS     Maintain delivery     2     1
    SDRE     Maintain returns delivery     2     1
    Experts are kindly requested to suggest for the solution if any to arrest the consumption of Serial Number Created by MFG Units by the Marketing Branches.
    With regards

  • Serial Number

    I have assigned Serial Number profile to material and that profile is having serial number creation in production order create and release.
    When i do auto gr using Control key PP03 then serial numbers created from production order does not get copied in Goods receipt document.
    When I remove Control key PP03 and do goods receipt using MIGO then serial numbers created from production order gets copied in Goods receipt document.
    Why it is not happening in auto goods receipt

    Hi,
    While doing the GR we need to pick the serial numbers which one we are doing the goods receipt. While doing auto GR, the system doesn't know that which serial number is received. To get the serial numbers in the GR, SAP has given the pool proof system. Otherwise there will be lot of assumptions will be there.

  • Serial number reusability

    Dear All
    Once the goods are issued (with serial numbers); system accepting to reuse the same serial number for a fresh GR of that material.
    But, there are some cases, where user wishes to cancle the GI; there system stopping him with an error, specifying that the serial number is already exists in stock.
    So, is there any solution so that serial numbers cannot be reused even after Issue of the same.
    Actually we are following serial number creation by Users themselves using IQ04; Once the serial number is issued, it status being changed to AVLB and users try to make use of same instaed of creating a new one when they are doing a GR.
    Thanks

    Dear Chakrapani
    How to stop the Users not to reuse the serial numbers? This is what my question is altogether
    Thanks

  • Unique serial number during production order release for FG materials

    Hi,
    Actually our client is asking for serial number generation for each FG material during its production order release.
    So that with this serial number he can track it in shop floor plus after dispatching to customer.
    Here the scenario is Make To Order, this serial number will also be considered by SD during dispatch.
    For serial number creation, I referred documents from SAP best practices(help.sap.com).
    After this, now I am able to create serial number for specific material automatically.
    Currently I am getting serial number with respect to material specific, i.e., serial number generating with respect to FG codes. Ex:- FG1 - 1, 2, 3, 4 and FG2 - 1, 2, 3, 4.
    But as per my client requirement, they want serial number without material specific, i.e., common serial number for all FG codes.
    Ex:- Sr No- 1-FG1, 2-FG1, 3-FG2, 4-FG1 - - - - according to production order releasing sequence.
    Plz inform if any settings are to be made.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Arman,
    I Had got solution for how to track which FG is linked to which SFG sr no, just go through the below link it also gives how to use COIB transaction.
    COIB transaction usage, how to track which FG is linked to which SFG sr no
    But still I had not got solution for
    how to assign common serial number for all FG codes automatically
    Ex:- Sr No- 1 -> FG1,
    2 -> FG1,
    3 -> FG2,
    4 -> FG1
    - - - - according to production order releasing sequence.
    Whether is it automatic serial number assignment is possible or not.
    Plz inform if any settings are to be made.
    Thank you in advance.
