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,

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.

Same serial number + material combo can be used in different sales orders?

Hi,
We have a recurring issue in our system where a Serial Number/Material combination can be used in another sales order once it is already in ECUS status.
Example: We sell and post material 123 with serial number 456, it goes into ECUS status, and we are then able to create a sales order with the exact same numbers.
Is this something that I should escalate to OSS? Why is this happening? Is there an IMG setting where I can turn on this functionality?
I woud be very grateful for any help! Thank you so much!

Hi San,
The org. determination rule is setup correctly, I've followed the link below to determine sales area on item level - to clarify, we are creating online sales orders (B2B scenario)
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/61/ac747795b511d3b53e006094b9ea37/content.htm?frameset=/en/63/02b638faa32d…
Check the table in the section "Organizational data at item level" - i have already assigned an org.determination profile with no determination rule on item level and still facing the same problem.

Inventory with Serial Number Material

Hi Experts,
I´ve been trying to create a recount (MI04) for a material with Serial Number.
Currently I have in one Storage Location more than 100,000 pieces of this material.
So when I try to do the counting, all SAP functions get blocked and it doesn´t end the process.
I have a limit of numbers to count?
It seems that the lock table overflows.
Any suggestions how can i manage this counting?

MI04 is enter count, MI11 is create recount.
A physical inventory document can maximum have 333 items.
100,000 pieces of this material can be just one record or 100000 different inventory records. this number does not tell much.
do you want to say that you have 100000 serial numbers for one material to be counted?

Partial GR of serial number material using MB31

Hi, experts, I get a problem about goods receipt againts production order, serial number.
I assigned some serial numbers to the production order before I release it. When I wanted to have a partial GR with MB31, I found that the system just display the serial numbers of the partial quantity. For example, I assigned ten serial numbers to the production order before I released the order, but when I just want to receive 5 of them, the system just display 5 serial numbers with a ascending sequence.
Can the system display all of the serial numbers and allow the user to choose the corresponding serial numbers and then make a GR posting in MB31? If itu2019s feasible, how to make it? configuration or customized program? Because of the authorization reason, we cannu2019t use MIGO for GR against production order.

Rajesh
we tried to do Auto Gr with serial number for FG iIn my company but can't do. Finally we convinced our users to do manually.This is SAP standard that Auto GR is not possible for the material maintain with Serial Number
So you must convince your clients for the same
I hope that will help to you

Cancel insp.lot for batch material with serial number?

We have a problem with an inspection lot....
A few months ago we made a goods receipt for batch material... it ended up in Q- stock.
The weeks went by and the material was changed ito a serial number material... that process works fine...
But now we want to scrap the material that is batch-handeled ... the inspection dont want to let go.. it want serial numbers... even if I create serial numbers for this the inspection lot
dont let me register any numbers.. So I cant cancel/delete it... And after all I just want to scrap the batch...
Can someone help me?
// Andreas

if stock of that material with serial numbers exist, then scrap that stock and disable the serial number for the material by deleting the serial number profile in the work scheduling view of the material master.
then try cancelling the inspection lot. After cancelling the inspection lot, activate the serial number for that material again and bring back the scrapped stock into the unrestricted use.
Note: please advice the users not to post any stock for that material till you complete this or else block the posting t.code for all the users.

Material Serial Number Issue.

Dear Friends,
Material Serial Number Issue.
Its better to explain with the example.
Material Number : ABCD with serial number as 123456
There is a reservation for the Material ABCD from work order, now the warehouse person Goods Issues for the reservation ABCD with serial number 06-123456.(he issued wrong serial number)
Correction action - Reverse Goods Issue for serial number 06-123456, now Goods issue for correct number as 123456. But the systems doesnot allows the serial number, error Material ABCD 123456 is already installed. Thenin IQ09 the material ABCD with SNO 123456 is INSTL Status.
Now question.
1. In 1st place how system allows the Goods issue for particular reservation with different serial number?
2. Without issuing the serial number 123456, how the status changed to INSTL???
3. How to solve this problem, need to change the stauts of Material 123456 as ESTO, then i can do goods issue,. how to change the status??
Regards,
Saravanan.S

System does not have the serial number in reservation slip.Manually u are assigning it diuring the MIGO.

Support Contract wref to sales order-how to get serial number

Hi Experts,
Below is the scenario
Step 1:I sell product[supplied by thirdparty] in sales order 123456
Material number     Description      Qty
material-0001         Printer             2
Step 2:While purchase it from 3rd party it will be having serial number which can be entered manually while doing goods receipt. Eg:
Material number        Description    Qty      Serial number
Material-001              Printer           1         PS-10001
Material-001              Printer           1         PS-10002
Step 3: Now I create a support contract with reference to the sales order 123456 for the sold printers.Here I need to capture the serial numbers of both printers, so that when customer complaints, the item can be identified.
How can we achieve this in the contract?
Waiting for a quick reply
Thanks
Banu

Hi Banu,
1. Create a Contract with Service product.
a. Create a Service material in MM01, with material type DIEN
b. Create a General Task list master (Tcode - IA05).
c. Attach this Task list with the Service material using OISD Tcode (set the reference object Equipment - if your equipment and serial number are same) -->(Service Product)
2.Attach the Technical objects (Equipment Number or Material number + Serial Number) to the line item service product.Maintain the contract data like price, start and end date.
3. Create a Sales order VA01, with reference to the Contract document
a. Configure this sales document type, material type to determine the Item category TAD
b. Let this Item category has the Requirement type SERA (maintain Service order type in requirement class(230 as default)
4. System will ask you the equipment number to create a Service order.
5. Enter the Equipment number,
System will ask you to select the Operations from the task list that has been attached with the Service product in step 1.c
6. Save the sales order and open in Change mode.
7. In Scheduled lines tab, you can find a "Service order button". Click on the button, will show the service order for the given Equipment number in display mode.
You can edit the Service order IW32, and confirm the operations and issue materials to capture the actual cost and settle to the Sales order.
Hope this would help.

Hi,
Use t.code: OIS2, Create Serial Number Profile Z100( Copying from 0001)& have serialization procedure(MMSL) in it. And assign Serial no. profile Z100 to a material in plant Data/Stor-2 view in general plant parameter segment.
Now create PO with that material and then during GR for that material, you are able to enter serial number in u201CSerial numbersu201D TAB in Detail data and select check box of Create Serial Nos Automatically & post GR document. Now go back and display material document in MIGO and can see serial numbers in u201CSerial numbersu201D TAB in Detail data.

Same Serial Number to multiple Materials: How to stop?

Hi,
While creating Serial Numbers (IQ04), system allows assignment of same serial number to mupliple materials.
Our requirement:
Once a Serial Numbers is assigned for a Material, system should not allow assignment of same Sr no to any other Material.
Please Help
Regards
Nitin

Hi,
System will never stop you assigning same serial number to more than one material and it is logical.
But still if you want to stop this then you need to develop a field exit.
This exit will work as follows
1. At the time of assignmernt of serial number system will check whether the serial number + material combination exists or not.
2. If the combination is present system will fire an error message.

How to change serial number with existing one

dear all,
Our user create 2 different serial number with same material. let me say A and B. A is the correct serial number but fault historical. and B is the fault serial number but correct historical. The question is can we change the serial number, A with B and still got the correct historical from B
Regards

if both the serial number are present in stock & are assigned to a wrong material in this case what you can do is :
Issue goods through movement 201 alongwith the existing serial numbers (mismatched) against a cost center & GL (Stock Adjustment)
Receive goods through movement 202 with correct Serial number a cost center & GL (Stock Adjustment).
eg. in your case :
Document 1 with movement 201 to remove mismatched Serial number :
Material-- Serial Number-----Qty
A-- 1--
1
B-- 2--
1
Status of both serial number will change from ESTO to AVLB
Document 2 with movement 202 to assign correct serial number :
Material-- Serial Number-----Qty
A-- 2--
1
B-- 1--
1
this way you can resolve serial number mismatch case....

I created a material number in the back-end and I transfered it to the

After creating and approving the PO with that material number, I tried to
create a confirmation in the SRM and I got the error message:

check it up in ECC.
even if you do MIGO, you will get same erro message.
Note 1278707 - BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE: Message M7 175 during goods receipt
You are using BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE to perform a goods receipt posting for a subcontracting purchase order where the materials being received are serial number managed. The BAPI incorrectly returns the error message M7 175 (Maintain serial numbers for total quantity) even though the correct number of serial numbers are being passed over in the parameter table GOODSMVT_SERIALNUMBER. This error also occurs when the serial numbers should be automatically created during the goods receipt posting (controlled by the field SERIALNO_AUTO_NUMBERASSIGNMENT in the table GOODSMVT_ITEM).
Note 1337306 - Goods receipt for stock transport order with serial numbers
In transaction MIGO, you post a goods receipt for stock transport orders for a material with serial number requirement and the system issues error message M7 175: "Maintain serial numbers for total quantity". On the "Serial Numbers" tab page, all you are told is that the item is not relevant for serial numbers. You are therefore unable to maintain serial numbers, even though there is a serial number requirement for this transaction/event. You can post the goods receipt in transaction MB01.
