Serial Number Mistake - Inventory

We  have released a serialized item from SAP but physically selected the incorrect item from inventory.  What is the process to correct this in SAP, i am sure a semi common mistake
Mfr. Serial # 124 - is "available" according to SAP (this item was accidentally sold to a customer)
Mrf. Serial # 113 - is "unavailable" according to SAP (this item is currently in the warehouse)
We use both the "Mfr serial no."  and the "Serial Number" fiields.  The Mfr serial number we take from the device, and the Serial number we assign.  SAP will allow us to adjust the "serial number" after the transaction but not the Mfr serial number.
Can you point me in the right direction?
MANY MANY Thanks
SAP   8.8 PL: 17

Simply use return to return incorrect item & issue to issue correct ite.
You will need to update Equipment cards manually

  • Serial number in Inventory

    Dear Experts
               The serial number is created in prdn order and its transfered to inventory only if i maintain control key pp01 in final operation
    If i maintain pp03-auto good receipt in final operation the serial no is not transfered to inventory
    please advise me asap
    thanks&regards

    Hi Anbalagan,
    We dont have facility to assign no. ranges to Serial No. instead we give No. ranges for Equipment Categories and assign this Equipment Catgoriy to Serial No. Profile.By Assigning the Serial No. profile to a material master, the system will use the Serial Nos from No. ranges for Equipment Category.
    Another method is through transaction IQ01.

  • Serial number in inventory management

    Dear experts ,
    I have  assigned serial number profile in material master .
    While doing a GR i ticked the create serial number automatically & the system assigned a serial number to the material .
    I want to know , where do u define & assign the number ranges that the system will pick in case of automatic serial number allocation .
    Also how can i have external number assigned for serial number .
    Moreover  how can i check the stock based on serial number ( report t codes )
    Regards
    Anis

    Hello Anis...some i can answer...
    1.External Number assignment can be done using :IQ01 :Create Material Serial Number,this can be created Prior to GR and can be assigned to Material at GR.
    2.You can look into the stock by using MMBE tarnsaction,just Execute you material,Plant Stores...
    Select the stock level and go to Environment and select Equipment/Serial Number from drop menu to display alll sreial Number assignments.
    Hope this helps

  • Serial number mistake

    Hi,
    when i registered my ipod i've mistaken the serial number. How can i change it and put the correct one?
    Moreover, I'd like to buy the protection plan, but I think I could find some troubles, just because i made this error.
    So, what can I do?
    Thanks a lot!

    I think your best bet would be to call apple and tell them your issue and have them change it or have them walk you through what needs to be done to fix your issue..

  • Serial number control

    I want to have a control on not receiving a return on a serial number which I have not sold before. How can I do this? Is there a user exit? Also I don't want to be able to sell a serial number from the consignment stock which I have not sent to the customer'sconsignment stock. How can I have those controls?

    Hi,
    Go to t-code OIS2
    Select serial number profile which you speciefied in material master i.g. 0002, then click on serialization pricedure(at left side),
    Now in pront of procedure SDRE (MAINTAIN RETURN DELIVERY) maintain as 01 (None).
    it means when u create return delivery system never generates serial number.
    For second one explore serial number in inventory management.

  • IB:How to update a serial Number which has Inventory Material Transactions?

    Dear friends
    first of all thanks for your time and valuable solutions
    Install base: How to update a serial Number which has Inventory Material Transactions
    problem description:
    Install base > quick search
    Here is Installbase record, when I query from quick search
    Rec#     Item          Item Instance           Serial Number          Status
    1     300-7000-01      3000000           1000XXX-0538JQ0003 Return for Adv Exchange
    2     300-7000-01     8000000               1000XXX-0538JQ0003-     Return for Adv Exchange
    3     300-7000-01     5000000               1000XXX-0538JQ0003-A     Return for Adv Exchange
    looking above data, first and third records are the legitimate serial numbers(correct according to the client specs), second record is not legitimate since it has a dash as suffix, we found there are many illegitimate serial Numbers exists, needs to be updated with the right serial Numbers which I analyzed in excel after pulling data from mtl_material_transactions , oe_order_lines_all , mtl_serial_numbers , mtl_system_items_b
    basically these are all RMAs
    I need to update the second record as 1094SUZ-0538JQ0003-B as per the guidelines, while updating I need to keep all the existing contracts, Warranty, what ever material transations it has, need to be same.
    we have a package updating the serial numbers using IB API (csi_Item_Instance_Pub.update_item_instance) but it is updating only the records which has no serial numbers present for that instance, if there is a serial number already exists it is not working.
    user define error msg "Serial Number 1094SUZ-0538JQ0003- has Inventory Material Transactions. This serial number cannot be used to update an existing Item Instance", but I need to update this anyway!! or am I missing something here, please advice me
    below post looks like similar issue, talks about hard update, I have no clue, by doing that the updated serial number will have same transations, contracts, dates....attached to it like the previous serial number
    IB UPDATE_ITEM_INSTANCE ERROR - doesn't allow ACTIVE_START_DATE to change
    would be great If you guys help me out, really appreciated!!
    unfortunately I couldn't find any solutoin in metalink for the existing serial number update

    Used this. May not be perfect but should get you there. Only if the table is registered (all the seeded tables should be registered) this will work.
    select distinct a.table_name,b.column_name from fnd_tables a, fnd_columns b
    where a.table_id=b.table_id
    and upper(b.column_name) like '%SERIAL%'
    Also this is very old one but if you need history for this change add the history insert logic as well..

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 Setup Mistake (Clicked on "provide a serial number")

    Hi everyone,
    The instructions for installing Adobe Illustrator CS5 told me to to chose the option "Install this product as a trial" instead of "Provide a serial number" when I get to the "Enter a Serial Number" step.  I don't know why I was so stupid I clicked on "Provide a serial number" and entered the code.  After that, it said that it was invalid, but I was able to open Adobe Illustrator only two times until it made me get a 30 day trial.  My mom bought it for me, though...
    How do I fix this mistake? I don't want my mom to have to pay for another Adobe Illustrator....for now I'll just install the trial.
    Thanks!

  • Item was received without serial number by mistake.

    Good Morning;
    Purchasing department for one of my
    clients added a product managed by serial numbers instead of by batches
    in error. Product was received incorrectly, and no serial number was
    entered. Now they cannot create a transaction to get this product off
    the inventory (credit memo).it is asking for the S# but the item was receive without
    serial number.\
    I dont know how they were able to enter the AP invoice without entering a serial number, but looks like they did and now they cannot take it out from the inventory.
    Thanks in advance
    Jenny

    Is the item managed by serial numbers "On release" or on "Every Transaction". If it is on release only, it would not need a serial number to be received, just issued.
    If this is the case, it can be issued with a dummy number to get it out of stock, then the correction can be made & it can be brough back in correctly.

  • Inventory Tracking & Inventory Posting for Serial number managed items

    Hi,
    Plase advise me to address this issue..
    My scenarios is : - hand an item whih is serially managed, purchase 2qty and it serial number is 'S1' and 'S2', in a delivery document had selected 'S2" and physically issued 'S1', ineed to correct serial number at the time of inventory counting..kindly advise...
    thanks in advance..
    Nobin

    HI Raghu ,
    as you are setting other properties like itemcode and warehouse, u will find batchnumber and batch qunatity(after u press Lines. ) see the sample locally at ..Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One SDK\Samples\COM DI\VB.NET\04.SerialAndBatch.  , if u have )
    the sample updates the batch table in loop, whereas I used to give all the required batch quntity at once.
    U have to make it sure that the item is managed by batch ( if a field in oitm called 'ManBtchNum' is found 'Y' then only go ahead with defining batch number and batch quantity else , ur document will not simplly get posted and no error will be thrown)
    also remember that since it is goods issue, u have to have the batch existing in the database (oibt table) with the defined batch quantity.) 
    hope it helps.

  • 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?

  • Serial number behaviour in physical inventory verification

    Hi all,
    i'll explain my issue with a simple scenario
    material code - 5000
    Available stock in plant AAA Storage location BB - 3
    Serial numbers in the systen  - Z1 / Z2 / Z3
    once you do a physical inventory verification there is only one unit (physically) and now  want to adjust it.
    Adjust the system as one unit through creating physical inventory document and the serial number that i phisically exist is A123
    what i want to confirm is that when i post the physical inventory document, the existing serial numbers will diisapear or all 4 serial numbers will display in IQ09?
    regards
    Sasika

    Even after you post with Physical Inventory, system will continue to show all serial numbers. But there will be no stock (no plant and no storage location) against the serial number.

  • Problem with an enter inventory count for a material with serial number

  • Customized physical inventory upload with serial number

    Hello SAP gurus,
    My client have a requirement for physical inventory upload in bulk.
    Their requirement is - they will create physical inventory document using MI31 and MIE1.
    Then they will take printout of these documents- will add physical count into it.
    Then they want upload this file to post difference.
    They don't want to do it manually as they have large amount of data.
    They also want to incorporate serial number in it.
    My query is as we are posting difference using z-program with serial number-
    1.if one material with serial number have stock 10 in unrestricated and 5 in quality.
    different serial numbers are assigned to unrestricted an quality stock. At the time of entering count e.g.for Unrestricted if physical stock is 11 .
    then system will ask for 11 serial numbers. they will provide 1 serial number for extra material which we can fetch from file.
    But as we are doning in background , we want pick 10  serial numbers for existing material and again assign them. Same scenario may be for quality.
    From where (table) I can find these serial numbers assigned to unrestricted and quality stock to pick and again assign to them?
    2. I have query regarding physical inventory count for special stock e.g. sales order specific stock.
    In which case special stock  in SAP may differ from physical stock?
    If in any sales order have 5 qty of material and in storage location have stock 4 or 6 for that sales order.
    Correct me if I am wrong, because I am not able to understand physical inventory for special stock?
    3. I got error for a special stock material i.e. sales order specific material under quality and with serial number- When I am trying to post
    physical inventory differnce , then system gives me error - You can't post differences as serial requirement is set.
    Post it by 711,712,713,714.
    Why this error popup?

    Issue resolved. We have developed custom program for it.

  • Serial number for material lying in Inventory

    Hi Experts
                    Here the requirement is to add serial numbers for materials in SAP.I am having serial number seperately in legasy system.I need to activate in SAP for that Material.That i can do it by adding serial number profile in Material Master.
          But how can asign serial numbers for the material already Lying in Inventory in

    I tried mb1b- 311 to another storage location its asking serial numbers and i m able to give there.But Is there any data migration work so that i can add serial numbers to the material lying in stock.

    One option could be to make the stock zero by issuing the stock out completely to scrap (or cost center or...). Then activate serial numbers. Then do an initial upload of the stock.

  • Is there anyway to get a serial number when you threw the serial numberout by mistake?

    How do I obtain a new serial number? i inadvertantly tossed the number out with the packing!
    Geoduck1952

    As far as I know there is no option to acquire a new serial number - you have to use the one assigned when purchased.  If you already had this software installed and registered it with Adobe you should be able to find your serial number via your Adobe account online.
    The serial number is normally on the case that holds the disc.  It seems unlikely that you would inadvertantly throw that out, so you might want to check there.
