Serial number in Equipment BOM component

Hi Experts,
Can we attach a serial number for a component in the Equipment BOM?
My requirement is we sell an equipment with components to customers. Each component has got a serial number when it has gor produced (at the time of GR to FG store), when we issue we refer to the serial number and issue it to customer. Later all components are assembled at customer place. After job is completed we generate a serial number intern an equipment master is created. Now I create the equipment BOM with all those components. Here for the tracking purpose, can I maintain those components serial number in the equipment BOM????

praveen

Hi,
You can do the hirerchay by using Ibase. I am not sure we can assign serial numbers in the BOM. Or alternate is to create subequipments with all those serial number and Material number combination. And here you can pass on warranty too. Which I think you can not achieve in IBase. Even I base can be generated with reference to production order.
Hope it helps.

  • User-Exit for Serial Number Profile / Equipment creation

    Hi ,
    In the Material Master Data , we have a serial number profile and at the time of
    Post Good Issue , the system do generate an equipment record in the Service Module .
    That is standard SAP and working very well .
    For some customers (Inter-Company) customers we do not want any Equipment record in the Service Module to be created .
    What standard SAP functionality or user-exit can we use in order to not create the Equipment record in the Service Module ?
    Regard's

    Transaction SPRO
    Plant Maintenance and Customer Service --> Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service --> Technical Objects --> Serial Number Management --> Define Serial Number profile
    In the Serial number profile, go to Serializing procedures. The EqReq field determines whether an equipment is to be created or not. For e.g. 01 in MMSL implies that equipment will not be created during GR,
    Not sure whether this will satisfy your requirement. Will need more information for that...
    Hope this helps,

  • In which table of CRM the Serial number and Equipment information stores.

    Hi Experts
    Recently I have downloaded all the serial numbers and Equipment numbers from backend system by doing the initial download of the object SERIALNUMBER and EQUIPMENT.
    I can see the BDOC monitor in which all BDOC are in green ststus and R3AM1 the object ststus is also green.
    My problem is I am unable to find the downloaded information in CRM system.Can anyone help me in finding out where can I get these information.
    Thanks
    Subhabrata

    Hi Subhabrata
    If I understand correctly your Serial number is not linked to any equipment which can be opened using IE03.
    "Serial number download functionality allows you to replicate pure serial numbers (serial numbers that are not associated with equipment) along with their associated business partners and configuration from SAP ECC to SAP CRM as objects."
    See this link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/ad/bc673f19299d51e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    In that case you should not download object EQUIPMENT. You just need to download object SERIALNUMBER. Check the number of entries in table COMM_PRODUCT before and after download. Search for Equipment number in field PRODUCT_ID. Check table COM_TA_R3_ID with the product guid from previous search.
    I hope it helps

  • 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 and equipment

    Hi,
    I want to create refurbishment order,for that i am dismantaling 1assembly from equipment while doing dismanteling IE4N systen asking for serial number. I have given serial no to matrial bt till it is showing following error.
    "Equipment view not activated" and also when i entered equipment then shows following error

    Edited by: pravin chougule on Jan 3, 2009 1:33 PM

    There are activities that need to be done before doing the refurbishment,
    - Serial no. profile to be created
    - In the profile select PPAU as one of the serializing procedure
    - Assign this profile in the material master
    - Activate the serial no. view for the eq. category.
    - Create serial no. for the material and activate the equipment view.
    - Now when you create Refurbishment order for the material system will display a special object list in the order itself, where you can select the serial number.
    - rest are as usual.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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

  • Where to enter the Assembly serial number when doing WIP Component ISSUE

    Hello Oracle Guru`s,
    I am performing Kit completion via API`s. I am able to perform Move transaction(have inserted in apps.WIP_MOVE_TXN_INTERFACE) and Completion Transaction(apps.mtl_transactions_interface, apps.mtl_serial_numbers_interface and apps.CST_COMP_SNAP_INTERFACE)
    When doing the Issue(Matreial transaction) , i am inserting in the apps.mtl_transactions_interface and apps.mtl_serial_numbers_interface, where do i enter the Assembly serial number? I would like to know, in what assembly serial number is my component residing.
    Aslo, when doing the issue(inserting in mtl_transactions_interface ), why is it important to enter the operation_seq_num and department_id? and what should be the value in these columns.
    we are using Average Costing.
    TX in advance for you reply.
    Regards,
    K

    Hello KING,
    Did you try doing online transaction for this case.
    I believe that you can enter parent serial number while entering serial number for components during online transaction. With this test, you can check that what column assembly number is going and you can try same in your background processing.
    Thanks,

  • Serial number of equipment not getting updated

    Hi All,
      We are trying to update the serial number of an equipment through BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE  along with BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT, but it doesn't work. Could you please let me know if there is any other option to achieve this.

    If you are updating fields in data_specific table, make sure you have "X" on the correct field in data_specificx.

  • Serial Number / Customer equipment card capabilities

    Material Structure for Sales BOM  - Item A
    Item A = sales Item only, Non inventory, not purchases.  The item comprises of
    1 x Item B (serialised item on every transaction, and automatic customer equipment card creation).
    1 x Item C (serialised item on every transaction, and automatic customer equipment card creation).
    Item A for example is a box (which is not serialised), but Item B and C are components of A.  And it needs to be tracked that B and C belong to a specific/ unique A. That is, if we drill into the customer equipment card, how can we see that item B and C  are related to the parent item A (without drilling into the document from the equipment card). 
    When an delivery/AR invoice is created, customer equipment cards are automatically generated for Item B and C.  How can this be linked to A?

    Great idea.
    How can we also, create a unique reference for each time A is sold?  So that if a part B is returned and a new part  B replaced, the part can be linked to unique A?
    The reason for the requirement is that a client may purchase 2 A's (not serilaised A), and we want to track which B's and which C's relate to which A's. And if a B is replaced and another B, we want to track which A it related to.
    Thanks

    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

  • Cannot delete a serial number assigned to a material on a contract

    Hi
    We had the BOM header material created with a serialization profile that led to creating serial numbers for both header and the components in the equipment master when a contract was created. But the business required the serial number only for the components to be created in the EM. So we created a dummy serialization profile and attached it to the header material to allow when the material used in the new contracts will not create a serial number for the header.
    The issue is with the existing contracts with the material, current workaround the business is carrying out is inactivating the serial number of the BOM header and on the contract adding the rejection code to the line items and then create new line item with the same material and continue to invoice. This breaks the link in the document flow.
    To avoid this we created some dummy material and try to move the serial number of the existing header material to the dummy material in IQ02. And when we try to delete the serial number attached to the material on the sales order. It allows to delete but when we save the document it automatically creates another serial number eventhough the material has a dummy serialization profile on the material master.
    Please let me know is there any other to acheive this instead breaking the document flow of the contracts.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Please follow the solution below:
    1, Go to u201CMM02u201D select u201CSales Genrl/Plantu201D Tab, in this remove serial Number profile assigned to the material master, and save
    2, Go to u201COIENu201D, here you deselect the u201CSerial Numberu201D group, by which the assignment of continuous serial No. with No. range would be un-assigned, and save.(use this option provided if you assigned your serial numbers using "OIEN")
    3, Please also try u201CDeactivatingu201D the serial Nos. in the following Menu Path:
    Plant Maintenance & Customer Service > Technical Objects > Serial No. Management > Deactivate Lock for Internal assignment of Serial Numbers.Here you may have to deselect the u201CNo Blocku201D for u201CCu201D RFID Equipment with Serial Number or your assigned category, and save.
    Now try with your process, I am sure it should work out.

  • Serial Number&WBS Element

    Hi experts,
    1-) I can not deliver sales orders because it requires serial numbers.
    Can anybody tell me how to cancel asking serial numbers?
    2-)If it is not available how can I create serial numbers?
    I created serial numbers by trcode IQ01 but again I can not deliver sales order.
    3-)At "create material serial number " screen it requires a WBS element.
    What is WBS element?
    And what is the role of it?
    Thanks&Regards

    Hi refer below ,Reward if helps you
    WBS element
    1) What is WBS element?
    2) What is the Tcode to get to that screen?
    3) What is the need and purpose of WBS element?
    4) Do we happen to work on Functional module during our implementation project?
    5) In what scenario/situation we will be working on WBS?
    WBS is nothing but Work Breakdown Structure. It is mainly used in Project System (PS) module. Tcode : CJ20N
    For any project defined we must have at least one WBS. Within this WBS we can have networks. Networks are nothing but the series of activities. Material are used to perform the activities.
    To explain in detail just consider one example:
    Govt of India wants to have Roads to be build through out the India. So Project can be defined in sap as "Connectivity".
    WBS can be roads within different states like Roads for Gujarat, Karnataka etc.. i.e. WBS Gujarat, WBS Karnataka etc.
    We can define different networks for these WBS  like Road Between Ahmedabad to Surat or Between Bangalore to Belgham.
    For this network we can have many activities like Land selection, Land Preparation, Road Building, Final finishing etc etc.
    Hemal's example was a good example. Project Systems comes into play only when the industry's business is based on projects like... Construction companies, Engineer to Order scenarios. You may not see anyone using PS module for retail business. As Hemal explained in that example, you have a main project which is broken down into WBS elements. You can use the TC CJ20N to create the project and the WBS elements. Each WBS may have mutiple Networks associated and each Network may have multiple Network Activities as explained in the example by Hemal.
    On the Sales Order, if your client is implementing PS module, you may have to attach the Sales Order to the WBS element it belongs to. WBS element is nothing but a bucket where all the activities belonging to that particular part of the project are captured. In the example, WBS Gujurat will tell you how many Sales Orders were created for the Gujurat sector, how much was spent on raw materials, what's the currect stock (reject stock) available. How many Production Orders have been confirmed and how many of them are getting confirmed in the future. How many invoices have been generated or how much revenue has been generated for that particular sector. How many deliveries have been made, what deliverables are still not accomplished.
    So as you can see, PS is the center stage for all the modules that are being implemented like FI/CO, SD, MM, PP in this example. You can have cost centers and work centers defined. You can also have profit centers assigned at the plant level and get reports on various selection criteria.
    In a complete cycle of PS, like in reality, you initiate a project, you confirm/release the WBS/activities as per requirement, you execute the project and you close it.
    One cannot initiate an activity unless it has been released by the project manager. Everything is accountable here and every dime is counted and at the end you know how much did you spend or make on each sector (WBS). Dont get confused with the term sector here... I am using it just for the explanation purposes.
    In one typical example, the company I was working with until not too long ago, had Deliveries from the Project (TC: CNS0). We never used VL01N. We used CNS0 to create a delivery and then used VL02N for confirming the picking quantity for the already created delivery document.
    I hope this should help you at least a bit. I'm not a PS consultant so I may not know a whole lot but trying going to CJ20N and you will see a lot yourself.
    PS consultants are one of the highest paid consultants. Their supply is less and so is the demand. They are expected to understand real world business processes very well and they are generally the center stage of a project.
    Serial Number Management :
    Serial Number Profile
    Working With Serial Numbers
    Serial Number Master Record
    Creating Master Records for Serial Numbers
    Serialization Data in the Piece of Equipment
    Maintenance of Configuration Data
    Serial Number Profile:
    Definition
    A group of data, summarized by a four-digit identification code, that defines the conditions and business procedures involved when assigning serial numbers to items of material.
    You enter the serial number profile in the master record at plant level for the material whose individual pieces are to be managed using material numbers. This means that an individual serial number profile can be assigned to a piece of material per plant. In this way a certain material can require serial numbers at one plant, and not at others.
    Structure
    The serial number profile contains the following information:
     The business procedures for which serialization
    – Can be performed
    – Must be performed
    – Is performed automatically
    – Is not performed
     Information on whether for a particular business procedure
    – Serial numbers can be assigned, for which a master record does not yet exist in the system
    – Serial numbers that already exist in the system as a master record must be specified
     Information on whether for a particular business procedure, a stock check should take place, and how the system should react in the event of inconsistencies
    The business procedures for which an equipment master record should or should not additionally be created for each serial number
    The equipment category that the system uses when assigning serial numbers automatically in the case of equipment master records.
    Working With Serial Numbers:
    Purpose
    You use serial numbers to identify items of material, which enables you to distinguish between the individual pieces.
    Process Flow
     You create a serial number profile in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service.
     You create a material master record and enter a serial number profile.
     You create a batch master record for the material if it is to be managed in batches.
     You can create serial number master records in advance if you want to have a pool of serial numbers. From a technical perspective, an "incomplete" equipment master record is created for this.
     You can create configuration data for serial number master records.
     You assign serial numbers to the material when business procedures take place (for example, a goods receipt):
     Either you assign manually serial number master records that you created in advance, or
     The system assigns automatically new serial numbers and creates new serial number master records for this
    Serial Numbers in Sales and Distribution :
    Use
    It is possible to assign serial numbers in sales orders, inquiries and quotations, as well as for deliveries and returns deliveries. This makes it possible to track individual objects when goods movements take place (for example, sale of goods to a customer).
    Integration
    In order to use the serialization functionality in sales orders, inquiries, and quotations, you must have implemented the Sales component, and to use the serialization functionality for deliveries, you need the Distribution component.
    Prerequisites
    A serial number profile with the following procedures must be entered in the material master record:
    Profile Maintenance for Deliveries
     Procedure SDCC checks the serial number on goods issue. The serial number usage for it should be 03 = must.
     Procedure SDLS defines that the serial number should be created on delivery. The serial number usage for it should be 02 = can.
     Procedure SDAU defines that the serial number should be created in the SD order for items that are delivered. The serial number usage for it should be 02 = can.
     In this way, it is ensured that the serial number is assigned at the latest when the goods issue is delivered.
    SDAU This procedure makes possible the use of serial numbers in sales orders, inquiries and quotations
    SDLS This procedure makes possible the assignment of serial numbers for deliveries.
    SDCC This procedure makes possible the assignment of serial numbers when performing completeness checks for deliveries.
    SDRE This operation makes possible the assignment of serial numbers for returns deliveries.
    SDCR This procedure makes possible the assignment of serial numbers when performing completeness checks for returns deliveries.
    Serial Number Master Record:
    Definition
    Data record that contains information for serial number management. The serial number is given to an item of material in addition to the material number, in order to differentiate that individual item from all other pieces of this material. The combination of material and serial number is unique.
    Structure
    The following information is contained in the serial number master record:
     Status information
    You can establish here, which system and user statuses are valid for the master record. If necessary, you can set or delete the user status, display the authorized business procedures and set particular system statuses.
     Stock information
    You can see here in which plant and warehouse the item of material is located, or to which batch it belongs. You can also see what type of stock and special stock is involved. The stock information is recorded automatically when goods movements are performed, and cannot be changed manually.
     Partner Data
    Here, for example, you can use freely definable partner functions and partners to specify in Customizing which companies are responsible for the maintenance of the serialized material.
    Configuration data
    Here, you can configure a item of material according to its characteristics or make reference to a configured object.
    Example of Serial Numbers
    Company X manufactures solar collectors (panels). They produce three different types:
     Type A
     Type B
     Type C
    A material master record exists in Company X’s system for each type. For quality control reasons the company wants to know for each solar collector delivery which customer has received which type of solar collector, and which serial number(s) of the collector type was/were delivered to the customer.
    For this purpose, each solar collector that is produced is assigned a serial number that, together with the material number, uniquely defines it.
    In addition, company X wants to maintain and repair particular solar collectors that it sells directly to individual customers. For this reason, an equipment history is to be maintained for the collectors. Company X is able to do this by creating equipment master records for these serialized solar collectors.
    History
    Use
     You can use the history of the serial number master record to ascertain which procedures have affected the serial number. You can find all documents that have been created for the serial number here:
     Production and refurbishment order
     Maintenance and service notification
     Maintenance and service order
     Sales order
     Delivery
     Inspection lot
     Goods document
     Maintenance plan
     Maintenance contract
    Status Management
    Use
    Serial number processing is linked to status management. There are two different types of status:
     System status
    System statuses are set when you execute a particular function for the serial number. For example, you post a goods receipt in the warehouse and set the status In warehouse by doing this.
    User status
    User statuses enable you to further delimit functions allowed for a serial number on the basis of a system status. You can assign and delete user statuses yourself if you have the authorization to do this.
    Copying the Partner into the Serial Number :-
    Use
    Within the framework of a delivery, partner data is automatically transferred from the delivery note into the master record of the serial number when goods issues are posted.
    Prerequisites
    You have set the indicator Copy Partner in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service under Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ® Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service ® Basic Settings ® Partner Data ® Copy Partner Functions to Master and Transaction Data.
     Furthermore, you have assigned the partner determination procedure and the corresponding functions to the equipment category under Technical Objects ® Equipment ® Assign Equipment to Partner Determination Procedure.
    Features
     The system copies the partner data from the delivery note into the serial number master record.
     If partner data has already been specified in the serial number master record, this data is overwritten with the data from the delivery note. However, the system only overwrites partner data for which the indicator has been set in Customizing.
    Creating Master Records for Serial Numbers:
    Use
    You are able to create directly master records for serial numbers during the assignment of serial numbers for various business procedures, if the serial number profile allows this.
    In addition, you can create master records for serial numbers in advance. This would make sense if you want to have a particular quantity of numbers in the system, that you can assign during a business procedure. in particular, this is the case when you are using serial number profiles that require serial numbers to already exist for certain business procedures.
    Activities
    You have two options for creating serial number master records for a material in advance:
     You create an individual serial number for a piece of material.
    You use this option, for example, if in make-to-order production you manufacture one item per day.
     You create several serial numbers simultaneously for a piece of material.
    You use this option, for example, if in repetitive manufacturing you manufacture several items per day.
    You can also create serial number master records if no serial number profile is entered in the material master record. However, use in business procedures is only possible if the serial number profile has been entered in the material master record.
    Working with Serial Numbers in Deliveries:
    Maintaining Master Data for Serial Numbers in Shipping
    Assigning Serial Numbers in Deliveries
    Deleting Serial Numbers from Deliveries
    Creating Equipment in Deliveries
    Some points of interest with serial numbers:-
    -You can assign a unique serial number to each material. This allows you to monitor goods movement for individual materials, for example, when selling materials to a customer. Using serial numbers you can also manage the maintenance of individual materials more easily in the system. You must first create equipment master records, however, for these materials.
    -To use serial numbers, enter serial number profiles in the master record for the relevant materials.
    -Serial numbers are usually specified in the delivery item. However, you can also define them in the order.
    -You can also have the serial numbers assigned automatically by the system.
    -You must specify all serial numbers, at the latest, before posting goods issue.

  • Error when doing GR for production order with serial number

    I'm not familiar with serial number and equipment management but I'm trying to help my user resolve this issue.
    This product is returned from customer site.
    I saw that this material is being reset in IQ02 from status in warehouse to become Available when the material is consumed in the production order via 261 movement type. So now the status is available. Then the user went to change a new serial number. Later, GR for production order is done in MB31. Errors are encountered when prompted to enter the new serial number.
    Configurations XX01 and XX02 are different

  • Serial number material

    Hi Expert,
    I still confuse about serial number. I can assign one serial number for each material, for example i have serial number 1 for material A and B. My question, can i restrict serial number 1 only for material A?so material B can't be use serial number 1. How I can do that Experts. Thank's for the answers.
    Best Regrads,
    Bernardus Jalu W P

    Greetings
    I think you can achieve this in standard if you assign Level of Explicitness for Serial Number as follows
    Go to MM02, go to view Plant data/ store 2 just right to the field where you assign serial no profile assign 1(Level of Explicitness for Serial Number)
    Level of Explicitness for Serial Number
    Level  on which the serial number must be unique.
    Use
    If the indicator is b, then only the combination of the material- and serial number is unique.
    If the indicator is 1, the serial number and equipment number are kept synchronous; that is, when master records are created, the system always sets the equipment number the same as the serial number.
    In this way you can make the serial numbers unique on a client-wide scale. A prerequisite for this is that all material master records have the indicator set to 1.
    Dependencies
    This indicator is plant wide, that is, the setting applies to all the plants of the corresponding material master record.
