Serial numbers in sales order/delivery

Hi All
I have a question question on Bar code number generation. Please note that this is NOT a question on bar code printing or issuing output to printer.
One of our customers requires serial numbers for all the products that we supply to them and they give us a serial number range from time to time and every material that we supply to them must go with one new serial number from their range.
It may not be able to possible achieve the above functionality by maintaining serial numbers in the Material Master as it is customer specific. I need to maintain this number range somewhere and when the sales order/delivery is entered for this particular customer, the system must check (or some function module) the next available number and assign a number to the material.
I checked all the possible help sites, but they do not explain about getting it for particular customer. Can you please suggest me any methods or procedures to do it
Regards
Monika

hi,
In order to maintain customer specific serial numbers you can do the following steps:
1. Maintain the serial numbers provided by your client in tcode IQ01. this will create the customer serial numbers in the system.
2. In the material master under Sales View maintain the serial number profile as 0002. this is sap standard.
3. Once the above has been maintained you can assign serial numbers at the time of delivery and NOT in sales order.
I hope this helps.

Serial Numbers for Sales Orders

We have a business Process where we do not maintain any serial numbers for the products. How ever one of our customer maintains serial numbers for the products that come to their warehouse.
This customer will send in the serial numbers for each material and quantity in the inbound 850 Idoc and he wants those serial numbers to be printed on top of the boxes. so that he can scan them while receiving the GR and do automatic posting at thier system.
we have to store this serial numbers against this sales order and print them in the shipping tags for the finished products that are to be sent to this customer.
Now
1) we do not want to use serial number profiles because it effects every sales order / delivery created for that material. the serial numbers should be assigned only to the orders from this specific customer. Is there any way to acheive this?
2) in the sap idoc 850 ( message type ORDERS05) how do we store the serial numbers. what segment and fields are available for this purpose.
3) how to save this serial numbers in the sap system against the sales order created for this customer.
Your answers will be highy appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks for all those wonderful replies..
I am looking more at a standard solution. with minor changes..
Storing the serial numers in text items is possible but not practical, the more the quantity the more difficult and time consuming is this process for ex if this customer orders 10,000 qty. then it would be tough.. and again to solve that problem we have to break the qty into multiple line items and this is only a alternatve but not a good solution i guess.
I thought this scenario should be more in practice because, customers can request us to put their serial numbers on the packing boxes that we send them.
So just wondering if any our colleagues have already worked in this scenario.. While doing a search I saw a couple of questions regarding the same situations back in 2005 and 2007 but the questions were marked as answered without mentioning the solution they approached to solve this problem.
Can any of you suggest me whether is this scneario a standard one ?

Problem with updating serial numbers in sales order!

Hi,
I am trying to update serial numbers for a sales order in SAP. I tried using both SERNR_ADD_TO_AU and SERNR_ADD_TO_DOCUMENT. However, in both cases the FM returned the number of serial numbers created but these did not reflect in the sales order. The code for both is as below:
WA_SERXX-SDAUFNR = '0000001733'.
WA_SERXX-POSNR = '000010'.
WA_SERXX-KUNDE = '0000009000'.

WA_SERXX-SD_AUART = 'OR'.
WA_SERXX-SD_POSTYP = 'TAN'.
WA_SERNR-SERNR = '000000001234ABCDAR'.
APPEND WA_SERNR TO IT_SERNR.

How to add serial number contolled item with serial numbers in sales order.

Hi OM Functional Experts,
I need a help on sales order booking.
We have serial controlled items in our inventory. At the time of booking a sales order, we need to call the items with the appropriate serial numbers [ for example, if i book an item for a qty of 10, then, the system should get the details ( serial number ) of the 10 item's serial number ].
And the serial numbers are Pre-defined by the organization for their internal tracking from the porcess 1 till end of the assembly line.
The purpose of this step, is to reduce the particular serial numbered item from the inventory, when we reserve/pick release the sales order.
thanks in advance.
Rdx,
J kannan
Edited by: J Kannan on Feb 17, 2009 1:23 AM

Kannan
OK. Unfortunately reservations cannot be created at the serial number level. So the unsupported way of doing this is updating the mtl_serial_numbers tables. I hope you would know (by some means) which serial numbers you want to allocate to a specific sales orders. If you know, update group_mark_id column in mtl_serial_numbers table with your order_line_Id, This will avoid any one from picking the serial numbers (they will not come up in the LOV or will not be auto allocated).
But you have to make sure to take it off when you actually want to pick this order line and allocate this serial number. So just before you pick release/ confirm this order line you need to update column back to null so that you can allocate that serial number.
Thanks

does anyone know how to enter the serial numbers for sales order items?
thank you!

Hi
Serial number has to enter in the material master record, and setting have to be done in IMG-SD-BASIC FUNCTIONS-SERIAL NUMBERS-DETERMINE SERIAL NUMBER PROFILES.
Similarly we can do the same even logistics execution.
pls try these let me know it worked out or not.
thank you

Sales Order/Delivery for particular customer From his Reserve stock?

Dear Couleague,
There is one scenario that faulty material from customer Co. get back by
Return Order (RE), Then return Delivery --& post goods receipt, Of the sold material,
Now co. (PP/QM) do rework Process (assemble, dismantle ...... whatever on the basis of return order) & make perfect material ok
Now this stock PP/QM people put under RESERVE STOCK because it belongs to that particular customer
Now I want to deliver that stock to that Particular customer,
1) HOW CAN I DO?
2) HOW CAN I PICK UP THAT ReserveMaterial while doing Sales Order/ delivery?
Even though I maintain copy control from RE to OR & AvailabilityCheck?
Thanks
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
As and when you get a return order for repair, then you do the PGR and place that stock into a different storage location and you get that repaired and when you are doing PGI then fetch the stock from the same storage where you have placed the stock when you did the PGR.
If you are having serial number concept that will help you to give the same piece which you have collected from the customer to return the same piece.
We have implemented the system in the same way in our previous implementation.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

Sales Order / Delivery Document Report

Hi,
I currently am in search of a delivery report that will tell me the following:
Sales Order
Delivery #
Deilivery Item # and Material Number
Delivery Item Qty
Delivery Pick Qty and DAte
Delivery Actual Pick Qty and Date
Delivery Goods Issue Qty and Date
Delivery Actual Goods Issue Qty and Date
All i can find are txns VL06O and VL06F, but it doesn't show the actual pick and goods issue qty's. I'm only able to get the processing status on whether the goods issue has been processed, what i actually need is the qty's and their associated dates. Also, the sales order is not on this report. I basically need a report to show me what is in the pipeline for deliveries and what deliveries have been shipped (complete or partial) and processing status. Many thanks for your help. Best, Erik

Hi,
You have to make use of the tables VBAK, VBAP, LIKP, LIPS, VBFA, VBUK, VBUP tables to create a Z report for ur rqmt. There is no standard requirement which meets ur reqmt.
You can have a selection screen where you can select the sales order numbers or sales order status and so on. Based on that input, you can get the following data as output.
Sales order number -VBAK-VBELN
Delivery number - LIKP-VBELN found out using VBFA table by giving VBAK-VBELN value as VBFA-VBELV and getting VBFA-VBELN.
Delivery item/material : LIPS-POSNR and LIPS-MATNR
Qnty : LIPS-LFIMG
Unit of Measure - LIPS-VRKME
Goods issue date : Check LIPS-WADAT

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.

Serial Numbers for Production Orders

Hi All
Can anyone tell me the table in which the serial numbers are stored for the production orders? I have created a production order and have assigned serial numbvers to it. Now I want to extract these serial numbers from the table.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Hello Jack,
In table SER05, the list of serial number details can be obtained.key the order noin ser05 table, get field OBJKNR, then pass this OBJKNR in table OBJK .
Some useful table for serial numbers
SER00 Generic table for serial numbers
SER01 Serial numbers assigned to a delivery
SER02 Serial numbers assigned to a guarentee
SER03 Serial numbers assigned to a material document
SER04 Serial numbers assigned to an inspection lot
SER05 Serial numbers for a production order
SER06 Serial numbers for Handling Units
SER07 Serial numbers for Stocktaking
SER08 serial numbers for Orders (SD)
The assignment of serial numbers to a production order can be done either via transaction CO02 or at the latest when the GR from Production is made.
I hope that this information clarifies the issue.

R.Brahmankar

There is one issue. Our user is not able to create Sales Order/ delivery order as he is getting the below error message u201CDate 2010-12-27 lies after the end of Factory calendar F1u201D. But when I checked the plant in customization, the Factory calendar assigned is u201CKRu201D and not u201CF1u201D. So I donu2019t understand why this error message is appearing.

Address not copied from Sales order/Delivery to Shipment Document

Hello Experts,
I need your help on Addrss of ship to in shipment document.
Sales Order[VA01] >> Delivery [Vl01N]>> Shipment [VT01N].
User changed the Address of ship to party (Header level) in Sales Order and It reflected to delivery as well and I believe It should also update the address in Shipment document.
But when I checked the Address of the Customer/Unloading point in Shipment Document [VT03N] (as below) I found It was not updated It was same as Customer Master Record and I believe It directly copied from Customer Master Record.
BUT While creating the Shipment system is copying the data from Customer master Record not from Sales Order /Delivery. Logically system should copy the updated address from Order/Delivery BUT It is directly copying from Customer Master i don't know where is the setting of this ??
Can anybody help me on this ? How system takes the customer (ship to party) address in shipment ? Where are the setting of these.
What I need to do so system take the updated address from Sales Order/Delivery not from Customer Master Record (Ship to party).
Can I change the address of customer in shipment document ??
Awaiting your precious reply.
Thanks,

Hello Samir,
Thanks for your response.
I think you get my question in wrong way.
I am sayingCustomer master data was not changed.
User just changed the Address in Order (Order > Header >> Partner tab >> Change ship to address/overwrite ship to address).
Overwritten Address / Updated address are copying in Delivery BUT not in Shipment document.
What I need to do? system should copy the updated address from Sales Order/Delivery BUT it is copying from Ship to party.
I hope this time i am clear to explain my issue.
Thanks,

KPIs for SD:Sales Orders & Delivery

Hi Experts,
Could some one please help me out to find out different KPIs for SD : Sales Orders & Delivery.
Am trying to create a BEx report for SD mofule using custom list of KPIs.
Any source where i could find the KPIs for SD module.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Krishna.

Krishna,
???? There is no list of 'KPIs for SD module'. KPIs differ for every company. Perhaps you should first ask your business users what THEY think the KPIs should be.
A few KPIs related to SD I have seen:
Forecasted/Budgeted vs Actual - Bookings
Forecasted/Budgeted vs Actual - Backlog
Forecasted/Budgeted vs Actual - Billings
Current backlog late to Requested date
Current backlog late to Confirmed date
Historical Requested vs Confirmed vs Actual (Shipment) date
Historical/Current Pricing and Pricing trends
Historical/Current Price vs cost
....but don't start work on ANY KPI until you get confirmation from your users that the KPIs have merit TO THEM.
