Serial numbers assigned to booked stock but irrelevant at goods issue point

Can anyone help me get a better understanding of material serial numbers?
I am exploring this area using SAP standard configuration:
i)     I have created a material that that has assigned to it serial number profile 0001 which includes:
a.     SDAU     Serial numbers in SD order 01 (No)
b.     SDCC     Completeness check for delivery 03 (Mandatory)
c.     SDLS     Maintain delivery 02 (Optional)
ii)     I have used MIGO to place 2 items in stock (GR 561 u2013 initial stock balance) and as expected the serial number tab opened up and I assigned 2 unique serial numbers to each of my pieces of stock: Serial_Test_1 & Serial_Test_2
iii)     I then created a sales order (OR) for one item and again as expected, the item was scheduled for immediate delivery from stock without reference to the relevant serial number
iv)     The problem was that I then managed to create a delivery and pick it without being prompted for a serial number (mandatory completeness check?)
v)     I then went back into the delivery and assigned a serial number via Item u2013 Serial Numbers but it let me input and serial number that wasnu2019t associated with any item I had in stock (e.g. Serial_Test_3) which I then PGIu2019d!
vi)     Going back to my stock overview, I now only had 1 item (good) but both serial numbers were present (bad .. I think)?
Am I missing something here? Is there a prerequisite action I must take to get the system to insist on a particular stock item to be specified before it can be issued and that the stock overview will only show serial numbers for items that are in stock? My system at present appears corrupt to me as I only have one item in stock but 2 serial number?
Any help or insight much appreciated.

Hi,
You posted qty 2 with serial number's
Now you have stock of 2 qty with serial number
when you do delivery, you have to assign serial number which is already in stock.then it will show status properly
Remain qty 1 and 1 serail number.

Serial number optional at goods receipt but mandatory at goods issue?

How can we make serial number optional at goods receipt but mandatory at goods issue?
Thanks in advance for the answers....

Hi,
Not in front of the system, but if i remember correctly one of these enhancements has a check on serial numbers,
1. User exit -> MBCF0002
2. BADi -> WORKORDER_GOODSMVT or MB_DOCUMENT_BADI
Check & revert if it meets your need.

Reinstalling FCP7 in my new Macbook Pro Retina Display. I have my serial numbers back to FCP1. But it tells me that I have an invalid serial number. Why?

Reinstalling FCP in new Macbook Pro Retina from time machine backup. Have all serial numbers back to FCP1 but I am warned I have an invalid serial number. How can that be! I need to install and use this weekend.
Thank you in advance for the help.

How, exactly are you doing this?
When I restored my new computer from the time machine, the software was transfer to the new machine, in the past when double clicking the icon it would come up and ask for the serial numbers. This time was the same with the exception of:
I did not enter an invalid serial number, I tried all the numbers I have. But none of them worked.
I will try to install from discs.
Thanks for your help.

Use of space as a character in Serial Numbers assignment during MIGO.

Hi Gurus,
Can any one suggest me if it is possible to have space as a character in the serial numbers?
My client has a space or two in the old serial numbers and they do not want to change the way the serial numbers are numbered in the SAP system.
Please advice if there is any way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

How to get serial numbers for materials in stock.

Dear all,
I need the table / FM from which i can get the serial numbers associated with a specific Material Doc Number.
Currently, I am going to mseg-> get MBLNR
Pass MSEG-MBLNR it to SER03 -> get Object List
Pass SER03-OBKNR to OBJK -> get serial numbers( SERNR )
As this is a long process and it will take time to execute , Please mention some alternatives by which we can get the desired result.
Thanking you in advance,
Shankar

Hi Shankar;
I am unaware of any function module, I searched for it high and low a few months ago... This website describes the process of getting the serial numbers using WM if it is of any help to you...

Stock Transfer Order & Post Goods Issue

Hi Friends,
Can any one explain me what is Stock Ttransfer Order why we need it? and
What is Post Goods Issue and why we need it?
Can any body explain me in eloberate.
Regards,
DVNS.

Hello,
Stock Transport Order (STO) is a Purchase Order of type 'UB' created for trasnferring stock between two plants (which can belong to same or different company codes). In STO pricing schema, you can set up different conditions such as freight, surcharge etc. to charge the receiving site.
A delivery document is created for the sending site which needs to be posted through Post Goods issue step in order to deduct stock from the site. Then the stock will be in transit until it is received by the Receiving site. The receiving is normally carried out with reference to the delivery document.
Thanks,

Two serial numbers assigned to one Handling Unit???

Hi All,
I've a handling Unit HU 1000XXXXXX - correct in SAP with XYZ material with a serial number. But also another unit ABC has a different serial number also in some way tied to Handling unit 1000XXXXXX. This is an MTO for a sales order. Not able to understand how the other serial number is also assigned to the same HU.
Please suggest me to identify the root cause behind this.

Restrict Sales Order Creation for Serial Numbers already in Sles Order/Sold

We have recently implemented variant configuration and usage of serial numbers.
Facing some problems because of this.
1. If a Material is in Stock e.g Material xyz and serial number 123
System allows us to create sales order and Deliver and Invoice Serial number 124.
I have activated Indicator: Serial Number Existence Requirement thru OIS2. However it solves only part of my problem.
If for Material xyz serial number 123 is in stock but serial number 124 has also been created and assigned to material xyz but not in stock, then system allows me to create sales order, delivery and billing for material xyz and serial number 124.
When I check MMBE I see zero stock when I click on serial number I see serial 123, which is inconsistent.
How to ensure that such a situation does not happen?
Also I do not want the system to create a sales order for a material for which sales order has been created.
e.g. for material xyz and serial 1234 if sales order exists then system should not allow creation of another sales order for the same combination.
However in case of consignment orders the system should allow only the logical transactions like consignment fill up or consignment returns.
Please help.

Hi
This is nothing but Creating Roles and assigning the respective authorizations to the Roles for giving the access to the related Tcodes
This has to be done by basis people
using the Transactions

such that every user can not create the sales order or change it.

Serial Numbers are not downloading after creation of Delivery in ECC

Dear all,
As per client business process, we need to download Serial numbers after creation of Outbound delivery.
I could see the generated Serial numbers in ECC Delivery document, but those Serial numbers are not downloading into CRM.
I have already done initial download for SERIALNUMBER object and I could see downloaded serial numbers in COM_TA_R3_ID Table.
But after creation of Outbound delivery in ECC, those delivered serialnumbers are not available in CRM system, even after successful data transfer of Sales Order, Delivery, PGI and Invoice documents Information.
Kindly help me in resolving the above issue
Best regards

Hi
1.Check in material master whether serial number management is active in Plant data/stor Tab and serial number profile is assigned
2. Check while doing MIGO once if u enter the material and transfer qty you are getting the serial number tab or not
3. If everything is ok, then after posting the document check the serial number status in IQ09, check the stock type and the storgae location in the serdata tab

Change item to be managed by serial numbers

Hi All,
I know this is not an SDK/development question, but have no idea where else to search for answer. So any suggestions will be appreciated!
I have an item that is created as not to be managed by serial numbers. I then do a goods receipt for the item. Then afterwards I want to change the item to a serial item. Is there any way that I can allocate serial numbers to the items already in stock (those that were created before manage serial was switched on?)
Thanks a lot in advance,
Adele

Hi Ibai,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried this, but it adds the quantity I type in the Initial Quantity to the existing quantity, so I have double the required amount in stock after this operation. I have sent a query to SAP and their response was:
Hi, unfortunately it is not possible to assign serial numbers to items in stock that was entered BEFORE you turned on the serial number management. The system assigns the numbers only to the items that had 'manage item by serial number' ticked before they were purchased/sold. But it is possible to add serial numbers to items with transactions, but you can only add them trough new receipt documents (not update the "old" items that were in stock before you turned on the "serial management") This also means that you cannot add serial numbers to this item in a salesorder, delivery or invoice that was made before the management was turned on - unless you cancel the document and enter it again. The "drawback" with this is that you will not have equal numbers of serial numbers and actual items in stock. (The customer will always come to a point where they need to receive more quantity of this item to create new serial numbers again.) The solution can be at some stage to issue the stock with no serial numbers to a different warehouse or to get rid of this stock in other ways. The other option is to issue all stock from warehouse, and enter them again trough an opening balance, this time WITH serial numbers. You will then have equal number of stock and serial numbers.
So, it doesn't seem to be possible.

SHPCON serial number updates item on delivery but not item in HU

I am using SHPCON to update the item on delivery with serial numbers. After that I use SHPCON to pack that same item in a handling unit. From the pack screen I should be able to select the item and hit the serial number button and see the serial number. Instead it says there is no serial number on the item. I populated E1EDL11 under E1EDL24 to get the serial number on the item. I also tried during packing populating E1EDL46 under the HU item E1EDL44 but that doesn't work either.
Anybody run into this issue?

Hi,
If your Sloc is HU managed then need to maintain serial numbers in HU only.
i think you are doing packing at shipment level, HU should packed and serial numbers assigned then finally assigned to shipment document.
Rgds,
Kris.

Available Serial Numbers

Hi all,
In case, an Item Master Data has no Serial Numbers Management ( Serial Manage Item by : None) , and there is stock into the warehouse (either by transactions or by initial quantities) and it decided change of Serial Numbers Management Status as Serial Manage by: Serial Numbers & Management Method :On Release only ), is there a way to release stock, as there are no Available Serial Numbers?
Thanks in advance
Vangelis

Hi,
As per my understanding, You have created an item with Serial Number managed : None. And you have stock in it. But now, you want to change the item as Serial Number managed.
Then you clear the stock using Goods Issue or by using Inventory trackingand Stock Posting.
Then open the item master and change the Magane Item by in Serial and Batch Numbers as Serial numbers and update the record.
Then Using Goods Receipt document, take the quantity you issued into stock. Now the system asks for Serial numbers. If you have serial Number then key them, else create some dummy serial number and key them.
I hope this could help you to solve your problem.

How to mange serial number in the third party sales scenario.In standard sales process we manage serial numbers at delivery level.
But for Third party delivery will be done from vendor's place.But our client wants to keep
a track of serial numbers.Kindly share some inputs
Would apprecite a quick response.
Regards
Neel

hello,
do u want serial nos for tracking purpose?
one way out is to maintain them at sales order level and have the same no in purchase order sent to the vendor in the form of text.
ask the vendor to print this no in his delivery document as well.
from the sales order, you can pick this no for invoice print as well.
i hope this is a way out. dont know if something is available in standard.
