Serial Numbers for Raw Materials

Hello All,
We are not using serial numbers at the moment, but we would like to assign a serial number to each material that enters the warehouse. So not on finished goods, but on raw materials. If we for instance order 10 boxes of a material, we would like to create 10 different serial numbers for these boxes (in MIGO).
Batch management is not the solution, since the 10 boxes would receive the same number, whereas we want a unique number per box.
Is this possible?
Regards, Marc

Thanks for your replies.
We already have storage unit types, one of them is "Box". So in the warehouse mgmt 2 tab, an entry has been made which looks like:
LE quantity Un Sut
1. 100 Ea Box
This works nicely when goods are putaway: the system suggests that if there are 1000 materials ready for putaway, 10 boxes are delivered and thus 10 storage bins are required.
The only thing that fails is that there will be 1000 serial numbers generated, instead of 10. Handling Unit management is no option, because that brings a lot of workload with packing and unpacking goods. Changing the base unit of measure to box is not an option, since a box is no unit of measure.

Serial numbers for materials

hello,
I have done a setup for serial numbers and when I do the GR I get a blank serial number list.
I earlier used transaction IQ04 and maintained for one article the various serial numbers.
When I do the GR I must be able to autmaticlaly see all the serial numbers related to the article. The system shows blank serial numbers although I have maintained them.
Can you help to identify what I have missed that the serial number based on aarticle doesnt get coped over to the GR document?
Another point is when I do the GI I also dont see the serial numbers for which I have done the GR for the article. What am I missing here?
Thanks

hi
how the serial no profile has been configured ,ie if the exist required is marked in the serial no profile then while making the GR you have to select the serial no alredy created,but if you doesn't select the same you have to mark the serial no automatically while making the goods receipt
kindly check

How to block wrong serial numbers for goods receipt.

"while doing grn via migo t code serial numberes are entered wrongly.

how to block those 8 digit serial numbers? How to continue current serial number series as(2000)"
how to initialize serial numbers for a particular material

This means that you are not mapped as a worker in the system
Go to HRMS resp..create employment...then go to sysadmin user form and query the user for which u want to associate..
then in the person field map the user which u created employment
Then you should be able to access the all the purchasing forms

Serial Numbers for delivery

Hi,
i am cerated serial no. But it created only one no.
when i am cerated outbound delivery, serial no. is assigned.
But when i am trying to PGI showing the following error
Pls help me out
Item 000010 requires exactly 5 serial numbers for the asset
Regards,
Rao P

Hi Mr. Rao,
Looks like your material configure in that way, it requires 5 serial number.
You do one thing --> Go to IQ04 --> Give your maerial number --> Then in the field "No. serial numbers" give the figure how many serial number you want --> Like one you have already created --> Give 4 in the field "No. serial numbers" --> Enter
If your serial number require equipment view also --> then click at "View selection" --> Click at equipment --> Enter --> Save
After that go to delivery and assign your serial number to your materials.

Hi Banerjee,
Actually we are trying to use the same bapi from se37, we are passing all the details which is required to process the bapi_goodmvt_create. But still the bapi returning the same error what sangeeta got in the above. Can you please guide me how to achieve this.
how the values has to pass to the Serial Number?
What exactly meant by Counter Values ?

Missing Serial Numbers for CS4 COmponents & Acrobat X Pro

Greetings!
I installed CS5.5 on my 32-bit system, which means I had to install the included "complimentary" CS4 copies of After Effects & Premiere Pro. As stated in one of the Adobe troubleshooting sections I read, the CS4 components require a separate CS4 serial number. As also stated in that same section, Acrobat and CS products have different serial numbers. Unfortunately, I was only given one serial number, and that one was for CS5.5. See image below for related screenshot collage.
The serial number has been intentionally rendered unreadable for obvious reasons, but it's sufficient to show that there's only one serial number associated with my products. I need serial numbers for the 32-bit CS4 components and for Acrobat X Pro. How do I get them? I tried chatting with an Adobe support agent a couple weeks ago, and he told me he couldn't help me. He said I needed to get the serial numbers from the company that provided me with the CS5.5 serial number (Identit-E, who evidently gets involved with providing serial numbers for validated student license purchases). They said they couldn't help me, and that I had to get with Adobe! So I'm being run around in circles with nobody taking responsibility! And when I tried to follow instructions and a link that I thought MIGHT give me some answers (on this page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/517/cpsid_51791.html)...
"In North America: If you're a student or educator, look in the Adobe Student Licensing website"
...I got a warning from my browser that it's an untrusted site:
I'm not into taking that kind of risk.
So I've done about all I can think to do, including contacting the actual reseller who sold me the software (no word from them yet). Nobody's claiming responsibility, and they're pointing at each other. That leaves me in the middle with no answers and only partially working, very expensive software!
If there are any ideas from folks on this forum, I'm all ears!
Thanks!

DI-Error: You cannot select batch or serial numbers for a closed row

Hello Experts,
I have several B1-Systems connected to R/3-Systems via B1iSN.
In B1 for example I have 2 rows in Purchase Order. One row was closed by a goods receipt - 1 row is still open.
From our R/3-System we send Order-Acknowledgements to B1. Because line 1 is already closed we want to ignore row 1 and update only information in row 2. By using KeyExpansion I could solve that requirement (check in B1-System if row is already closed -> insert row in IDoc only with LineNum). For example:
<Document_Lines>
*<row>* 
    *<LineNum>0</LineNum>*
*</row>*
   <row> 
    <LineNum>1</LineNum>
    <ItemCode>ABCDEFGHIJK</ItemCode>
</row>
</Document_Lines>
Unfortunately DI-API does not allow to update each row separated. I always have to send all rows in IDoc even if one row is closed.
For one B1-Company batchnumbers on every transaction is required. When creating Goods Receipt we have to define a batchnumber for item. But now if I want to update a open row (as described above) I get an B1iSN-Error:
DI Error: (-10) You cannot select batch or serial numbers for a closed row
Any ideas to solve that Error? Thanks.

GB

Hi Bastian,
I have still one open question. How to tread Document Lines Additional Expenses?
If I use the logic of visual order I still get the error "You cannot select batch or serial numbers for a closed row".
Example:
<Document_LinesAdditionalExpenses>
-      <row>
           <LineNumber>4</LineNumber>*no expenses*
</row>
-      <row>
           <LineNumber>0</LineNumber>*no expenses*
</row>
-     <row>
           <LineNumber>1</LineNumber>*no expenses*
</row>
-     <row>
           <LineNumber>2</LineNumber>*no expenses*
</row>
-     <row>
           <LineNumber>3</LineNumber>*expenses correct*
           <ExpenseCode>3</ExpenseCode>
           <LineTotal>10.00</LineTotal>
</row>
</Document_LinesAdditionalExpenses>
How can I solve that?
Thanks and regards,

Retrieve Multiple Serial Numbers for given Delivery Document and Item

Hello Experts,
                      I am currently working on a 2Lis datasource to extract Delivery information.Now it is required to append the
datasource with field (say ZZSERNO) which should extract ALL Serial Numbers from OBJK table for a given Delivery Item.
I know that there is a link between table SER01 and OBJK to retrieve the same.However, my concern is- C_T_Data table is
already providing the Delivery Information and along with that I want to display ALL Serial numbers for a given Delivery Item.
A delivery Item can have more that one serial number linked to it as what I see in VL03N for a Delivery document.
So currently in RSA3, I retrieve say 1 record for a given Delivery Document and Item .Now an Item has say 10 Serial Numbers
associated with it, so i should see 10 Records for that Delivery Document and Item, after executing RSA3.
Please provide me with the CMOD logic to do so.

Hi,
You can Link LIPS and OBJK tables with Delivery and Del Item.........refer below for the code.
1) Declare an Internal table of type OBJK with fields DEL DOC, DEL ITEM and ZZSERNO .
2) Declare another Internal Table ITAB_LIPS of type LIPS with required fields say in your case *DEL DOC, DEL ITEM and ZZSERNO....etc.
3) Use below select statement to extract records from LIPS into ITAB_LIPS that you have declared for to fetch LIPS data.
Select DEL DOC, DEL ITEM ( here i have included only few fields but as per requirement please add fields here)   from
LIPS into corresponding fields of Table ITAB_LIPS.
4) write one more select statement to fetch Serial number data.
Select DEL DOC, DEL ITEM ZZSERNO from OBJK into corresponding fields of TABLE ITAB_OBJK for all entries in ITAB_LIPS
where DEL DOC = ITAB_LIPS-DEL DOC and
            DEL ITEM = ITAB_LIPS-DEL ITEM.
Loop at ITAB_OBJK.
Read table ITAB_OBJK into ITAB_LIPS with keys DEL DOC    DEL ITEM.
ITAB_LIPS-DEL DOC = ITAB_LIPS-DEL DOC
ITAB_LIPS-DEL ITEM = ITAB_OBJK-DEL ITEM.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
ITAB_LIPS-ZZSERNO = ITAB_OBJK-ZZSERNO.
ENDIF
ENDLOOP.
Hope the above code helps

Can we create a single bdc for raw materials , and for some other transacti

hi
can we create a single bdc for raw materials , and for some other transaction? how?

Hi Jyothsna
For one transaction you will have to build your bdc table according to the recording for that transaction and then call that transaction using the bdc table. For another transaction , you will again have to build the bdc table with the details of that transaction.
You cannot call all at one shot.
Cheers

Purchase requisitions for raw materials

Iam having multilevel BOM and when I do Sales order MRP then Iam getting planned order for Semi finished items but not getting Purchase requisitions for raw materials.

Hi,
Planing File Entry :-
The planning file is used to limit the scope of the planning run for the
total planning run. For this purpose, all materials that have been
assigned a valid MRP type are automatically entered in the planning
file.
System will check the Planing file entry only in the case of Total MRP (MD01) or Total MPS (MD40).
While there is no need in the case of MD02,MD03,MD41,MD42,MD50.
Now how this Planing File entry activates,
- Once MRP is activated at Plant level (T.code OMDU)system automatically maintains entry in Planning file for all those materials which contains the Active MRP type.
- So if materials which are created before this activation of MRP in that case you have to maintain this planing file entry manual.You can do this either by MD20 or by using Back Ground Jon OMD0.

Dhaval

Can we capture two types of Serial Numbers for a material?

Hi,
I have scenario where i need to capture two different types of serial numbers for a material. This scenario is very similar to the below one -
Say if a CAR is a serialized material, then i want to capture engine no. and chasis no. for each car.
I know in standard serial number management, we can capture one kind of serial no. for an item, but can we capture two types of serial number for an item? If yes, how we can do that?
Please help.
Thanks,
Parimal.

Hi,
No it is not possible to have two serial numbers for a material.
The main attribute of a serial number is that it is UNIQUE.
You can better have the vehicle number as the required serial number and the other numbers under the Manufacturer data of the General data tab of the IQ01 transaction. ( Equipment master creation ).
You can better change the name of the manufacturer data such as Model number to Engine numeber and Manu serial no to Chasis no etc.., using CMOD transactions.
Regards
