Serial Numbers in A Storage Bin

Dear all,
In warehouse management we have serial numbers attached to each item in the warehouse and these items are batch managed. During goods receipt serial numbers are scanned using RF scanner and a transfer order is created for each item. We have a customer table to store the details like storage location and storage bin etc when they are first scanned in. There is no problem here.
If items are transferred from one storage bin to another using a transfer order, system is picking the serial numbers required for the transfer order posting. When corresposing material document is displayed using MB51, there is a tab for serial numbers that are included in this material document.
Is there any way to get all the serial numbers of the items stored at Storage Bin level?
Thanks and regards
Raj

Hi Christian,
Thanks for the reply.
In the mean time I was talking some more people here regarding this problem. Looks like there is no one obvious place where equipment serial numbers are stored.
Further digging in to SAP I could make out that the serial numbers get distributed to tables SER01 to SER07 based on the activity performed with key in OBJK. I think I will be able to get there.
I appreciate your time and reply.
Regards
Raj

Serial Numbers in WM Storage Units

Hi all:
My client needs to manage serial numbers in WM. I am planning to propose to use the storage unit as storage for serial numbers. This WM will not have HUM, no batch management. Plant will use valution type.
Can anyone tell me what are the pros and cons for storing serial numbers in Storage Units in a non HUM WM?
We are implanting WM in SAP ECC 6.0
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Juan
Are you talking about managing serial numbers with storage unit management? When we use serial number management every material within the storage unit number will have a serial number. For ex:- if a storage unit number has 10 pcs in it then system would generate 10 serial numbers. You will need a BADI 'LE_WM_INV_WM_IM' and add data serial number in the class to control serial number function in WM. Check OSS 559531 for more info.

Create the stock in storage bin level

Hai all
     while i am doing transfer of order it is asking that storage unit type and the material stock is not maintained in storage bin .
can anybody tell me how to maintain the stock in bin level .please help me is there any tcode for that

Dear Satish
A storage type generally contains several storage spaces or slots. These are called storage bins in Warehouse Management (WM). The storage bin is the smallest available unit of space in a warehouse. The storage bin therefore describes the position in the warehouse where the goods are or can be stored.
Since the address of a storage bin is frequently derived from a coordinate system, a storage bin is often referred to as a coordinate. The coordinate 01-02-03 for example, can refer to a storage bin in row 1, stack 2, and level 3.
You assign each storage bin to a specific warehouse number and storage type according to its location. You must also assign each storage bin to a storage section.
You can also define the following additional characteristics of a storage bin:
         --> Maximum weight
         --> Total capacity
         --> Fire containment section
         --> Storage bin type (for example, for small or large pallets)
With certain stock placement strategies, the storage bin type plays a significant role in optimizing the automatic search for a storage bin in connection with the pallet type. For example, you can define the WM putaway strategy to place large industrial pallets into a specific large bin type and smaller pallets into small bins.
<i><b>For information on how to define storage bins, call up the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Warehouse Management and see under Master Data --> Storage Bins .</b></i>
Generally speaking, you can use any combination of letters and numbers for a storage bin coordinate with the exception of certain alphanumeric characters that are used for stock placement strategy P (according to pallet or storage unit type).
When goods are placed into storage, the system selects coordinates in ascending order according to specific sort criteria, and assigns the next available storage bin based on the coordinate structure you define for creating bins.

Serial numbers in WM

Hi,
I want to use serial numbers in warehouse, so that whenever I am creating a TO for a serialised material, system should ask me the serial numbers. Also for bin stock, I should be able to know the serial numbers.Is there any specific config node for this?
Thanks
DB

Hi,
Serial number profile needs to be maintained in material master and in OIS2 for application of serial number (with error or warning) for the specific nusiness transaction.

Serial numbers are not copied to new storage location for 311 mvt type

Hi Guys
I have 10 stock of material A in 001 Storage location ,which all the quantity is serial number managed
I have transfered 10 quantity of Material A to 002 location from 001 location using 311 MIGO
But serial numbers are not copied to 002 location after transfer posting
001 and 002 are both are WM linked and belongs to same plant
Can any body suggest good solution,how it can be done

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

Serial Numbers in Inventory Management – Warehouse Managed storage location

Serial Numbers in Inventory Management u2013 Warehouse managed storage locations
We want to run inventory cycle at the warehouse for materials. These materials are u2018serial numberedu2019 in the material master. During the initial entry (say GR) of the materials, systems prompt for the serial numbers. At this point, system offers option of assignments of serial numbers automatically.
While running an inventory cycle for warehouse u2013 and posting difference at WM level (LI01), system is throwing error as u201Cmaintain serial number for totol quantityu201D. System does not promt me to enter the serial number for the materials (count) which are found excess/shortage duing the inventory cycle.
Is there any configuration where this scenario can be managed; system should prompt us to enter serial number while posting differenes at WM level (LI20).
The inventory cycle is -
1.     Create Physical Inventory Documents - LI01N
2.     Activate Physical Inventory Document -      LI02N
3.     Enter Count -     LI11N
4.     Post Differences at WM level -     LI20
5.     Post Differences at IM level(If Differences are posted at WM ) -     LI21

Curious to know: The WM Inventory transaction - LI11N - (where we enter physical count. )
1. Compared to MI04 - IM Inventory Transaction: where a pop-up window asks for serial number of the material.
2. We expect a similar pop-up at LI11N transaction- where the system should ask serial numbers.
Q.1 How can we achieve this?
Q.2 Will this be a standard SAP practice? (if we do customizing to get serial nos. pop-up window at LI11N)
thanks,

To which level serial numbers can be tracked in WM

Hi all,
i just want to know , to which level serial numbers can be tracked in WM. is it posible to tack at bin level or it is limited to sloc level in MM ?
Regards
Viran

no sir i didn't.
but as per findings i can say that,
serial numbers tracking will be there in MM up to SLOC level.
In WM there is no standard way to go down further (eg: bin level)
but through a development u will be able to keep tracking serials up to bin level
at the same time pls study the concept of STORAGE UNIT
i am using that concept and minimised lot of issues

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
Edited by: japie303 on May 12, 2009 1:08 PM

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.

Goods movement with serial numbers

Hi,
1. Is there any report or table where I can see goods movement of material with their serial numbers?
2. Also in MMBE i can see 'On order stock'. I know this is PO open PO quantity.
Now this open PO qty will not be there against any storage location. I got some stock on this status in some storage location.
How I can move to 'unrestricted stock' status?
Please advice.

Hi
Check these tables,
SER00 General Header Table for Serial Number Management
SER01 Document Header for Serial Numbers for Delivery
SER02 Document Header for Serial Nos for Maint.Contract (SD Order)
SER03 Document Header for Serial Numbers for Goods Movements
SER04 Document Header for Serial Numbers for Inspection Lot
SER05 Document Header for Serial Numbers for PP Order
SER06 Document Header for Serial Numbers for Handling Unit-Content
SER07 Document Header for Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory
And in order to move On Order stock to Unrestricted you need to close those POs by doing GR.
Hope it helps

Hi,
Is Serial number is the one obtained thro stadard batch management or is it a Zfield.
On Order stock cannot be converted to unrestircted stock unless a GR is made.

Creation of New storage bins for storage type 007 in Production

Hi Gurus,
Coudl you please give me a clairty, storage bins can transport from Qaulity or we have to create seperately from server to server like Qulity and production.
thx
r

Hello,
As correctly mentioned storage bins never transported from one environment to other. You have to create through LS10 or LS01N.
The bin structure can get transposted from one environment to other & then you can open the structure & create bins in numbers.The bin structure can be seen through LS10 & created through same transaction.

Inspection lot creation on storage bin

Hello all,
I am wanting to learn how to create an inpection lot of stock within a storage bin.
I ask because we have many storage bins in our warehouse location storing the same material.
If I do a MIGO 322 transaction in inspection lot there is no where to specify bin location, it looks at the warehouse as 1 storage location.
In the lower half of the migo screen there is a 'storage bin' section but it is blocked out and I cannot identify which storage bin I am wanting to inspect within that storage location.
I know I can create a transfer through LT01 however this still doesn't appear in QA32 inspection lots.
I want the bin location to stay in the same storage location but be flagged for quality inspection.
Thanks,
Chris
Edited by: gmanwizo on May 7, 2011 5:58 AM

Hi,
It seems you have both MM and WM activated. You have to assign storage locations to warehouse numbers in customizing, definition of organization step. Then when you do a 322, transfer requirements will be created by the system and you can transfer the material to a storage bin by turning the requirement into a transfer order. Assignment of new storage locations to warehouses may be tricky, you better ask for consulting on this matter.

How to do settings for serial numbers during sub contracting

Hi,
i want to serial numbers to be populated when i do GR for a subcontracting PO. then it will be used in house for another higher assembly where it assigns another set of serial numbers and that higher assembly is sold to the customer. then can i have a trach of all these serial numbers which have been used in different assembly levels.
how the case happens when you reject a sub contracing item which has been Competed with GR. Please tell me what are the settings to be done for it.
rgs
madan

if proper serial no. profile assigned to material in storage data1/2 data, u can assign serial no to material at GR as well as at production & at delivery..
u can track this material by serial no.
If u received material from subcontractor, u can return same by cancelling material doc. or return 122 O.
but while receiving next time u have to enter another sr. no
You can check the SAP Note 74017
