Serial numbers in material document

Hello,
I want to know the significance of Serial numbers and serialization in the material document or material master.
How it can be maintained and what is the use of significance in the manufacturing scenario e.g. while posting Goods Receipt for a given Production order?
Thanks & regards,
Ravish

HI,
1) Material serial number activation as follows.
Using T-Code MM01- material code creation to the respective plant,storage location,sales org and then give input data to the material view screen basic data1, basic data2...... In the view Plant data / Stor.2 input screen General plant parameters options Serial no.profile - '0001', SerLevel - '1' data to be given during material creation time. After that doing MIGO for the material, it will ask material serial number.
2) Material serial number purpose as follows.
a) Material identification based on serial number.
b) Material serial number wise issues in FIFO method.
c) Material stock.
Hope, it is useful for you.
Regards,
K.Rajendran.

Serial Number for material document number

Hi All,
Can any body tel me where Serial number stores for particular Material Document number.
When user creation/posting MB11 he will enter serial numbers for material in material document.
I already searched the forum. Unluckily i didn't received any related information.
Thanks in Advance.

I Tried looking standard table which contain Material number, Serial number, Equipment and Material Document but there isn't any.
So I went into SQVI and join two tables, MSEG and OBJK. There I manually draged the MATNR from MSEG Table to OBJK and then selected the fields like Materials Number, Plant, Material Document, Mov Type etc and from other table I selected Material Number plus Serial Number, Equipment (chose your required filters) and then executed and it shows the required records correctly.
Only issue it had was that if you try thousands of records e.g. Materials it went though and brought resukts and some time it dumped. But it fulfilled my needs successfully.

How to create place holders for serial numbers in billing document

Hey Guys,
I want to create place holders for serial numbers in the billing documents so that the serial number information along with the material number is copied from the delivery document into the billing document. Could you please suggest how to do this.

Hey friend,
We have a user exit for that however I dont remember it. It is known issue as it is essential in India for a telecom industry. They need to declare their invoice no. according to the area. So they are assigning there no ranges with plants. Here plants are nothing but different region.
So you try to find out that exit as you have the similar requirement. And your problem will be solved. If your ABAPer dont get the user-exit and its really urgent come back I will find it out for you.

Add serial numbers in sales document

Hi everyone
In case of third-party businnes we use the workflow sales order -> purchase order -> invoice.
In this case we have to add the serial numbers in the sales document under Extras->Technical Objects.
Is there any function or bapi that I can use???
PS:
I've try the combination:
SERNR_ADD_TO_AU and
IWOL_WV_ADD_OBJECTS but is not working since the second function expects to have an equipment with the material nr and the serial nr that I try to add ( and this equipment is not existing yet ).
Thanks.
Anca

Hi,
Have you tried function modules SERIALPROFILE_CHECK, SERNR_ADD_TO_DOCUMENT or SERNR_MAINTAIN_IN_DOCUMENT?
Also check the function modules in table T377X for Serial Procedures related to SD (e.g. SDAP is for "Post serial numbers for SD order" and may have function module SERIAL_LISTE_POST_AU as its form value).
By the way, in VA02 the function for Extras -> Technical Objects branches to include program MV45AF0F_FCODE_POTO, form FCODE_POTO. Investigating or debugging this logic may provide you some clues if none of the functions suggested above are of use.

In Purchase Order Line item Maintaining Serial Numbers for Material Codes

Dear Gurus,
We have a business process in legacy system for Purchase Order like in PO line item, Material code with description, Quantity, unit of Measurement, Serial Number Start and Serial Number End is maintained, for example for Material code when we enter the data AXMLN00001 in Serial Number Start column, if the Qty 500 is maintained, by default system will calculate AXMLN00500 in Serial Number End column.
We understand that in standard SAP we donu2019t have this option of maintaining Serial Number Start and End in Purchase order Line item. Please let us know how this can be mapped and is it advisable to create two Z fields in EKPO table or else can we make any development.
Suppose if this is not possible in SAP for PO then in Banks if we want to place a order for Cheque books how we can maintain Start and End Serial Numbers to print in cheque books.
Also client is not agreeing to maintain manually Serial numbers in item text.
regards,
Dhanu

Aamir,
When the PO Item was created say for example Material had Valuation category "Y" and latter you wanted to change the category to "Y". Now system would have check for all open PO's etc...based on this you must have set Deletion Indicator to this Line Item to allow valuation category change in material master. Now when this Item got created in the table level (EKPO), system updates the valuation category "Y". Currently this valuation category is not active so it would not allow you to perform removal of deletion indicator as program cannot automatically nor you have an option to manually update the valuation category to this Item.

Certificates using serial numbers with material without batch assigned

Hi experts...how can i track serial numbers and inspection lots from roh material without batch assign but with serial numbers ? these roh materials were used in PO without batch assign to FERT material yet. Is possible use where-used list only to manage serial number or only using batch administration over the serial numbers ?
i will apreciatte any answer!
Regards
Marco Antonio Trois Endres

Hi ,
This seems to be a Material Management configuration question, I dont know if this will answer it
You will have to configure the Characteristics of your Material from a task list and transfer/Copy it to your Certificate profile,
there has to be a feature to enter the desired selection Criteria based on your question
Work with the security team if your MM_G and MM_S class objects can help open or close certain authroization objects to achieve your goal.
in one of the google search it states that
"This can be done from Extras Characteristics from your task list.
A dialog box appears for entering the selection criteria for the task list"
Will Need more security related information to help you on this.

Erasing serial numbers for material

Hi
can anyone help me out with the following?
pls tell me how can we erase some serial numbers of a particular material?

Hi,
You cann't remove the serial no which is assigned to the material.
You can modify the serial no which is already assigned to that material.
If you had entered the wrong serial number and want to change the serial number
goto Transaction -IQ02. Enter the material and correct serial number.
then in Edit --> Special Serial No Functions --> Change Serial No
save the material number

Batch and serial numbers in Crystal Document Layouts

I am attempting to write a set of document layouts using Crystal reports namely, Sales Order, AR Invoice (Items), Delivery Note. The stock items are either serial numbered items or batch numbered. I need to display the serial numbers or batch numbers on the Delivery Note, but cannot find a suitable link to the tables where the serial number/batch numbers are stored.
I have identified the following tables as likely candidates for use in the document layout, but cannot see how I might join them to the ODLN or DLN1 tables:
For the Batch Numbers OBTN; ITL1 and ILM1
For the Serial Numbers OSRN and views OSRI; SRI1 and SRI1_LINK.
Does anyone know or have suggestions on how to link these (or other?) tables to the DLN1? Thanks in advance
David

From memory, the link needs to be to SRI1 joined on Base Doc Type, Doc Entry / Base Doc entry, Item Code & row / line num (for serial numbers anyway...)

Hi,
Yes it is possible to assign serial number at the time of GR.
Pls find the details for Serial Number Assignment while GR as below :
Assigning Serial Numbers at Goods Receipt
Use
When carrying out the final backflush, a specific serial number is assigned to materials which require a serial number.
You can only assign serial numbers to assemblies, not to the individual components of an assembly.
Prerequisites :
1.You must have defined that the material requires a serial number by selecting the serial number profile in the material master record (sales view).
In Customizing for Sales and Distribution, you must define how the serial number is to be assigned in the serial number profile for the serialization procedure PPSF (Serial Numbers in Repetitive Manufacturing):
Automatic
Mandatory entry
Optional entry
Features
When backflushing a material that is to be assigned a serial number, the following functions are carried out depending on the settings in Customizing:
*Assigning serial numbers automatically :
In this setting, the serial number is automatically assigned by the system in the final backflush using the settings in the serial number profile.
Serial numbers as a mandatory entry :
With this setting, when saving the final backflush, the system displays the dialog box entitled Maintain Serial Numbers where you have to enter a serial number. The goods receipt cannot be posted if you do not enter a serial number.
Here, you can enter a serial number manually or you can instruct the system to search for the next free serial number and assign it to the material. In this case, choose Create serial no. automatically.
Serial numbers as an optional entry :
With this setting, when saving the final backflush, the system displays the dialog box entitled Maintain Serial Numbers where you can enter a serial number.
Here, you can enter a serial number manually or you can instruct the system to search for the next free serial number and assign it to the material. In this case, choose Create serial no. automatically.
Activities :
Displaying serial number per material document
The serial numbers are recorded in the material documents. You can check the serial number assignment in the backflush document log.
In the SAP menu, choose Logistics ® Production ® Repetitive manufacturing ® Evaluations ® Display backflush documents.
Enter the selection criteria and choose Execute.
The system displays a list of the backflushing logs.
Double-click the required document number.
The system accesses the overview display of the document.
Access the detailed display by choosing Details fm.item and then entering the appropriate item number.
The system accesses the details display.
In the detailed display, choose, Goto ® Serial number.
The system displays the dialog box, Display Serial Number.
Displaying and changing serial numbers:
Starting from the main Repetitive Manufacturing menu, you can display, or change a certain serial number. In the SAP menu, choose Logistics ® Production ® Repetitive manufacturing ® Master data ® Serial numbers ® Display or Change.
Creating, displaying, and changing serial numbers collectively :
Starting from the main Repetitive Manufacturing menu, you can create, display or change serial numbers collectively. To do this, choose Logistics ® Production ® Repetitive manufacturing ® Master data ® Serial numbers ® List editing ® Create or change or display.
Hope this helps.
Revert if any doubt and reward if useful.

Import of bulk serial numbers with Goods Receipt

Hello
I need to create an Add-On that automates the creation of Goods Receipt PO documents with linked serial numbers. Using the DI API I manage to create the Goods Receipt and link about 1000 serial numbers to one document without any problems. When the item qty (and linked serial number qty) goes beyond 10,000 it crashes (probably runs out of memory).
I know an alternative would be possibly using the DI Server. Has anyone ever done this with such big volumes? Not sure if the DI Server would be able to handle say 100,000 serial numbers, at a time.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jéan

Thanks Gordon.
This is not good news. I am just concerned as the SDK help on DI Server specifically states:
"Business partners can use the DI Server for the following main scenarios:
==>> Heavy duty operations, such as batch"
I assume this is the same type of "heavy duty operation" as a data take-on would be? Or does it mean that B1's serial number management is limited to small quantities at a time.

Sync of Material document and accounting document during MIGO

Hi Friends,
Can we synchronize the Document numbers between Material document (WE) for GR (101) and Accounting documents created for the MIGO transaction????
We have 50 is assigned to WE. But, we have a gap in numbers of Material document number and Accounting document numbers??? though the document type WE is common for both.
I have seen that "Buffer" is the culprit. But, not sure how to fix that.
Appreciate your help in this regard.
Dev.

When the document type is same (WE) for both, how come the accounting doc has continuous numbers and Material doc has breaks ( from buffer)????
document type WE is same for GR for material document and accounting docu but number range are stored diffrentely.
OMBT is where u store the number range for material document
and this number range is assigned to group of materia doc we wf wo ww
OMBA is where u create diffrent number range for accounting document hear U assign WE to ur transaction code and in turn WE is assigned a number range what is created in OMBA, this number range is nothing to do with number range u have created in OMBT.
when ever u post the docunemt in system
SAp hav efixed the document type for GR that is WE
it goes in OMBA in the group of Material documents for goods receipts
check what is the year and number range assigned and current number so it assignes this number first
than it go to OMBA cheks what is the Tcode u are using and what is document type u have assigned to that tcode and it can be any WE or what ever u have assigned to that tcode
taking that doc type it goes and see what Number range is assigned say 50 and then checks company code and year for this 50 and get the number for accounting doc
so i think its is clear that material and account are 2 diffrent ranges
skiping of numbers might be due to buffer
also go throught following post it will be helpfull
GR NO SEQUENCE - MISMATCH
hope this helps
