Serial number during GI posting REM scenario

HELLO ALL,
We are having repetitive manufacturing scenario, we want serial numbers to be entered during goods issue posting (MFBF tranaction), please suggest what should be done.
I have configured in OIS2 and serialisation attributes for movement types for procedure MMSL with movement types 261 & 131.
When I do production booking through MFBF, system is asking for header material serial number however it is not asking the serial number for components for which serilization procedure is set as mandatory.
Moreover system is giving the error message "Message no. IO304"
Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 1
Message no. IO304
Diagnosis
There is a serial number obligation, so the number of serial numbers must equal the number of serial numbers in the material document.
You can post the operation only if you entered the correct number of serial numbers previously.
System Response
Depending on the context in which the error arises, the system continues processing, or the required function cannot be performed.
Procedure
You have the following options, for example:
Check that the serial numbers are entered fully.
If necessary, display an error log.
If necessary, contact your system administrator.
please suggest how to enter serial numbers when posting the GI for components.
Thanks.
Kumar

Hi
Please read the following
Like production orders the serial number are not maintained to orders. The serial numbers are created prior
to backflush (MFBF) with IQ01 or IQ04. The documented goods movement posted along with serial number
at the backflush posting. Also in case of backflush reversal system reveres the status from AVLB to ESTO.
Serial number management is effective way of inventory monitoring and tracking. It is advisable to use in
sectors like consumer electronics, automobiles, and assembly units. Apart from inventory it is also useful in
after sales customer services where warranty plays important role.
Also you can create serial number during Goods receipt of Purchase order for component parts need to have seperate
z-program for this .

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.

Thanks Glenn Larson,
This is the first time for me for creating serial number for FG materials.
Actually our client is asking for serial number generation for each FG material during its production order release.

Here the scenario is Make To Order. So 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 types automatically.
But here the condition is client wants serial number should not be specific to material codes but should be common throughout the plant for all FG codes.
Ex:- Sr No- 1 for FG1,
                   2 for FG2,
                   3 for FG2,
                   4 for FG3
- according to production order releasing sequence.
Me dont know about Presort and IMB serial numbers.
Please tell me the appropriate approach I can make or any of links which I can refer.

Serial number entry after posting delivery doc......

hi experts....
we have a requirement in which in the standard sales cycle of Sales order->delivery document posting ( PGI)-> invoice billing the client wants that serial number entry (which is done at the time of PGI) should be done after invoicing(at the end of the day) because as per the business practice of the client, its not practically feasible for the client to enter serial numbers at the time of selling the finished material. The client manually records the serial numbers on the invoice copy and enters the serial numbers for the respective invoices at the end of the day.
Now while testing the client scenario we found that once PGI & invoicing has been done without entering the serial number for the material, the system does not accept any serial number assignment for that material after the completion of sales cycle.
So is there any solution in which serial number can be entered for a material whose PGI and invoicing has been completed?
Thanks & Regards
Vikas Hali

Hello,
As you know the system may not allow to enter the serial number details in the delivery --> Extras --> Serial numbers field, once the delivery is completely PGI'ed and invoiced.
But you may change the same in the table by debug mode. You need to update serial number in the material document in the table level also. Contact your ABAP expert, he may be able to guide you properly.

Link asset to equipment (serial number) during goods receipt

Hi all,
I want to achieve the following. We are buying for example 10 PC's. When the PC's arrive in the warehouse the Goods Receipt should create a unique serial number for every PC. The qauntity is booked into the warehouse and the costs nedd to be booked at an asset that automatically needs to be linked to the equipment that is justed created. That is the sneario.
1. I know that I can create a PO and at PO creation I can create an asset in the account assignment for every PC in the PO.
2. I know at goods receipt how create the serial numbers that create automatically equipments in Plant Maintenance
3. I also know that in Asset customizing you can activate synchronization between Equipments and Assets in both ways.
What I need to know is.
1. At goods receipt how are the unique serial numbers (equipments) assigned to the assets that were created during PO creation?
If any one can help me with this scenario or has implemented such a scenario then your help is very welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Serial Number error while posting UD

Hi all,
I am getting an error message "Serial number xxxx not suitable for movement type". "Serial number xxxx cannot be used here" while making usage decision for an production material. The error is happening only for the particular GRN. The GRN was done for 251 quantity and the problem is with 97 serial numbers only, for the 154 quantity system did not show any error message.
First I tried to change the status and update stock details for the serial number thru' IQ02 but there also getting an error message business transaction not allowed.
Could not change serial no. profile in material master as the particular material has open production orders. Tried to cancel GRN for the material but system is giving the same error "Serial number xxxx not suitable for movement type". "Serial number xxxx cannot be used here". Tried to do posting using the t.code MI10 but there also getting the same error "Serial number xxxx not suitable for movement type". "Serial number xxxx cannot be used here".
I tried to replicate the error message in development and quality system but could not as system is working fine. The problem occurred only for the select set of serial numbers and not for all.
When I checked in SCN got an sap note 1229108 in which it is mentioned that the error could be because issuing SL is not mentioned in the order.
I would like to know whether we can apply sap note directly in production system or not.
Regards
V. Srinivasa Ranganath

Hi Shyam,
The "97" serial nos are assigned to the same material only. The problem is when the 251 serial numbers were entered at the time of posting GRN, system is updating the stock details only 154 serial numbers only. So when we try to posting in QA32 for 251 quantities system is giving an error "Serial number cannot be used here", "Serial number is not suitable for movement type". Tried to reverse GRN but system is giving same error message.
Tried changing the status and then update the stock details for 97 serial numbers, system did not allow to enter the stock details. Checked for SAP notes, but they are all already updated in the system. Kindly let me know if I am missing any step or doing something wrong.

Invalid serial number during first install

Just wrapped off the seal on the OS X SL Server i just got.
But when i come to the part of the installation where I´m supposed to enter the serial that came in the box, i get the following message:
"Invalid serial number entered
Setup requires a valid serial number. The serial number has the format XSVR-106-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x!
I´ve gone over the serial at least 20 times now, so I´m preeeetty sure it´s correct.
Anyone else experienced this? In that case, what did you do to solve it?
Best regards

What kind of server are you installing on?
I've seen reports that having 2 Ethernet connections active during this phase of the installation causing trouble with serial numbers.
Maybe you could disconnect one Ethernet cable and try again?

How to get the right Serial Number during Pick Release

Please we need your help to get the right serial number => Auto-Allocate on YES, Pick Confirm with NO.
A problem is occurring during the Pick Release process. Custom code has been added to the hook INV_DETAIL_SERIAL_PUB to provide the Pick Release process with the serial number to pick for the item being pick released. The hook works and the Pick Release process picks the correct (specified) serial number. However, at some point later in the Pick Release process the lot number is chosen and the process seems to pick the first lot number it finds available for the item – it does not take into account the serial number provided by the hook. This causes the Pick Release process to fail when the lot number chosen is not the lot number linked to the serial number. Has anyone else encountered this same issue?
An example:
Item ABC123
Serial SER001 – Lot LOT001
Serial SER002 – Lot LOT002
Serial SER003 – Lot LOT003
Item ABC123 is being pick released.
The customised hook provides the Pick Release process with serial SER002.
The Pick Release process correctly uses SER002, but chooses lot LOT001.
thanks!
Francisco

Hi,
I guess you have added the code at slightly different place.
Pick Release Process will always allocate lots based on Inventory Picking Rule (or WMS Pick Strategy if you are using WMS).
So if you want to override that you much first delete the MTLT record (inv_trx_util_pub.delete_lot_ser_trx), then insert MTLT with your Lot number (inv_trx_util_pub.insert_lot_trx)..then insert MSNT (inv_trx_util_pub.insert_ser_trx) with your serial number.
Ensure that transaction_temp_id on MSNT should match with SERIAL_TRANSACTION_TEMP_ID on MTLT table.
Thanks,
Hrishi

In Design CS2 won't accept serial number during "Personalization" In Design

Re: InDesignCS2 rejects the serial number provided for CS2 special "no-activation" versions.
I am having an identical set of issues as outlined in the above discussion but I am using Windows 7.
My hard disk died and I am simply trying to get back up to speed with the new one. I have Creative Suite 2 Premium. Following the special instructions for moving certain files so that I wouldn't have the Insert Disk 2 problems I managed to get PhotoShop actuvated and running. However, I am unable to "personalize" InDesign because the system does not like the serial number. I have tried the one that came on the original box and the one that was on the link I used to download the programs. Both with and without the hyphens.
I have also been unable to uninstall InDesign and start over as the wizard was interrupted just as it was described above.
I have followed the instructions on the link you provided to manually remove CS2: Manually remove Adobe Creative Suite 2.x | Windows Including attempting to uninstall Creative Suite. However, Adobe InDesign CS2, Adobe Illustrator CS2, and Adobe SVG Viewer 3 still appear in the list of programs and for some reason cannot be uninstalled using the control panel.
In looking at the files that are still on the computer I see a folder C:\Creative Suite CS2. It has folders in it for PhotoShop, Illustrator, and Version Cue plus some other stuff. I was able to delete each of the files individually. but when I attempt to delete Illustrator, I get an error message saying that it can't be deleted because a folder or file is open in another application. When I attempt to uninstall that one using the control panel I get a message saying the remover was interrupted before it could finish.
I haven't even gotten to the part of the instructions where you remove things from the registry!
Any thoughts on where to go from here?
Thanks,
E.

You need to see the following for CS2 installation:

Trying to update and download Acrobat 8.0 to 8.1.0 and keeps telling me have invalid serial number when software is active and working on my computer.

Invalid Serial number during upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5

I upgraded our Xserve from 10.4.11 to 10.5 and when it first boots after the install, I get to the enter serial number screen. At this point the 10.5 serial number I enter goes through validating and then says invalid serial number format. I have several serial numbers I have tried so I know that a wrong serial is not the cause. I have tried connecting from another computer with server admin and changing the serial number that way, which when, I do shows the 10.4 serial number but then says invalid serial when entering the 10.5 serial. It seems like it is confused on what the serial number or format should be. Is there a way to manually install a serial number or at least get past it so I can then install the most recent update and hope that fixes this issue? I see there were some similar issues with the 10.5.8 update but I think the install dvd is only 10.5 or 10.5.1 maybe.

Well I finally got past it by ssh'ing into the server while it was at the serial number page and issuing it this command and specifying my serial number
/System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -setServerSerialNumber xsvr-xxx-xxx-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
I then rebooted the server and it came back to the same enter serial number screen but upon entering it one more time, it validated and is happy now.

Purchased a "new unopened" Illustrator CS4 package. Tried installing and serial number on CD jacket was invalid. Adobe CS also says that it is an invalid number. Waiting for seller to give me a valid serial number. Online searches have turned up various sites that give a "valid" serial number. Are these legit?

no.
