Serial number & equipment number

Hello
What is difference between serial number & equipment number.
Regards,
Naveed Ansari

Hi,
Serial number is also a master record, as it will be unique for a particular material. The serial number will be mostly given at the time of delivery. But this can be effectively controlled by the serializing procedure. We can create a serial number by IQ01. As and when you do transaction with serialised material, the status will get updated.
Equipment also have same like serial number, this can be effectively created with transaction IQ01, activate the equipment view

Set Serial number = equipment number problem

Hello experts:
     I set the serial number profile for create the equipment master data automatically.
     But when I fill in the serial number in the sales order and save the sales order. I found the serial number that I filled in is different with the equipment number.
     How can I set the serial number I filled in is equal to the equipment number that create in the backgroud.
    Thank you very much.

Hi,
In your change mode of your inventory document or when you enter a count, Select the GOTO> COLLECTIVE PROCESSING,
You should be able to enter serial numbers.

Automatic serial number&equipment creation in goods receipt

Dear gurus,
We use to automatic serial number&equipment creation in goods receipt. While serial number master datas and equipment master datas were creating in goods receipt, how can we fill some fields for serial number and equipment master datas? (Instead of to use IQ02 and IE02 after every goods receipts for some default enteries) Any user exit or BADI?
Thank you.

Use user exits EXIT_SAPLIE01_005 and EXIT_SAPLIE01_007 in customer exit IQSM0005.

ISU Serial number = SAP Equipment number

Hi experts
We are thinking to synchronize the ISU device/serial number to SAP's equipment number when creating using IQ01. This is done by setting the SerLev indicator to "1" on Material Master plant data/stor 2 tab.
We are doing this to reduce confusion of the 2 fields, e.g. SAP maintenance plan uses equipment number and we want to use it for scheduled meter testing.
My question is has anyone done it this way before if so what are the implications if any.
Thanks.

Hi,
This is ideal way. However, please note while building logic for meter read interface etc.
In this case,
EQUNR = SERNR
MATNR = Material in MM = Caategory
Also, you have to build a logic based on LOGIKZW which is unique for register.
Please let me know if something doesn't answer your question..
Thanks

Serial Number without generation of new equipment number.

Hi,
I am in REM scenario. A inhouse produced HALB is to be assigned a serial number with no corresponding equipment number generated. That is the HALB should be uniquely identifiable as the combination of MATNR & Serial No.
Created a Serial No Profile and assigned to Mat Master and am able to get the Serial Numbers ( But new equipment numbers are getting generated).
How to go about doing the Config for this.

Hello BGS,
Always an equipment record is created. This may be invisable to the user or made visable if required.
There are a few threads on that subject in this forum.
This thread is quite old (from 2006), It would be preferable to open a new thread rather than add on to an existing one, especially one that is so old. For that reason I am going to lock this thread. If you still need advise on this issue then open a new thread and outline your particular situation.

Serial number without equipment number

Hi
We wish to have serial number created for a material without equipment number.
But it is getting created.
How to have serial number only for a material with out equipment number.
regards
marias

Hi
I donot think Serial numbers are created without equipment number.
As every serial number is assigned to a equipment category. Once you assign the Serial number to an equipment category, the equipment number gets cretaed in the Background based on the number range, so you cannot stop the creation of equipemnt number.
Thanks & Regards

Hi
I think you can achieve my making the serial and equipment synchronization in the materiel master. Adjacent to where we specify the serial no profile we can make the setting. I am not in front of the system , kindly check
Also you need to have the internal number range for equipment which should be same as serial number

Equipment number in vbap

Currently for our RMA process we, have an equipment number, Serial number, material number. We convert the RMA to a repair sales order. I would like this data from the RMA to populate the vbap table. I see that vbap has field equnr but this field never has any data.
Is there some way to get the equipment number, with copy control or something into vbap-equnr? Is there a way to see the vbap-equnr field from va01,va02,or va03, I do not see the field from the transaction, only from the table.

Hi,
Is 'equnr' part of 'vbap' table?
Serial number is related to equipment number and you can assign serial no for material in Sales Order using Extras-->Technical Objects

Hi.
itob is database view.
tcf13 is tras.Table.
efhm is Structure.
You cannot select data from a structure.
A structure / work area contains data only at the run-time.
You can select data from views and tables.
The data you need to select will be in Database tables. All you need to do
is to find those table and select from there.

Find Latest Active Equipment number

friends,
I am looking for a way to find latest active equipment number (EQUNR) in the system.
I can fetch multiple equipments agaist a serial number from table EQUI. After getting multiple equipments I am sorting based on "Changed on" <aedat> field and then delete the non recent entires.
I am looking for another way if there exists any. I mean do we have anything called deletion indicator or something like this to differentiate between recent and old equipments.
Any help is highly appreciated.
- Husain

Hi,
u can use aggregate statements:
eg:
parameters : p_serge TYPE serge.
select max( aedat ) SERGE from equi
into (lv_aedat, lv_serge)
where serge = p_serge.
Hope it works!!

How to get Delivery number for given Equipment number?

Hi,
I have the equipment number and this equipment contains material number and serial number. From these information, how do I get the delivery number/order number?
Thank you.
Ashish

Hi All,
The problem is solved.
Here is the link >>
Table OBJK > give equipment number ->>>> this will give us a list of records.
Now go to SER01 > It will have only one record to get corresponding to value of different OBKNR received from filter. Means if we get 5 records from OBJK then out of 5 only one record will have corresponding record in SER01 and rest 4 records will not have any value SER01.
To understand the logic review function module SERIAL_LS_PRINT which works otherway round. It takes delivery and item number and gives us back serial number.
My requirement is otherway round but I know the path to get desired values.
Thank you all for your help.
Cheers,
Ashish

After saving the asset master they are not able to see the equipment number.
We did the below customization and also implementer OSS notes 1329249 but nothing seems to be working.Please note client does not want to create new equipment number he want to link existing equipment to asset (AS02)
If anyone has solution for this issue please share with me...

Dear:
Your question contains answer ... Please change "Change equipment NO SYNCHRONIZATION" into DIRECT SYNCHRONIZATION AFTER SAVING and also make sure that Synchronization button is on in AS02 for relevant assets in Allocation tab. Please do this and revert back. Please also refer to an excellent article about PM & AA synchronization. Hope it will help you solve your issue.

Synchronization of Asset master records and Equipment Number

Dear friends,
We are facing problem with the Equipment number that automatically gets generated during the Asset creation.
We used Internal number range for Equipments which is similar to Asset numbers and whenever an Asset created automatically Equipment get created with same number as the number ranges we maintained are same.
Recently we implemented Sub-Asset process and After implementing Sub-asset concept in to our Asset accounting the synchronization is not happening.
Can some one tell how I can come over this issue.
Ex:      Asset 12045          Equipment Number 12045
     Asset 12046          Equipment Number 12046
     Asset 12045-1          Equipment Number 12047
How can I address this?
Should I go for External number range ? if Yes, then how can I do after so many Equipments got created with Internal number range.
Thanks,
KK

Hi KK
There is no sub number range in equipment as we have for assets. So you will not match the number range beween assets and equipments records whenever you go for sub assets.
We have this scenario and we are not matching the asset number to equipment records.
If you still want to have the same numbers, then you can go for external number range as proposed by you.
thanks
Ashok
