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.
Thanks

Change Batch numbers (CHARG) for storage units in Warehouse Management

Hi,
I need to modify the batch numbers (CHARG) for storage units in Warehouse Management.
I am new to Warehouse Managment System.
Can you please let me know the transaction or movement types or Transfer orders to create/execute that will allow me to change the batch numbers for the storage units in Warehouse Management.
The new batch numbers should be reflected in LQUA (Quants) table.
Thank you very much. Thanks in advance.

Assign Delivery Serial numbers to the Handling Unit

Hi,
How can i Assign Delivery Serial numbers to the Handling Unit, is there any User exit to populate serial numbers from delivery to Handling Unit numbers.
Thanks.

Isn't this controlled through config? Check here.

-->Logistics Execution
   -->Shipping

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 handling unit

We generate handling units at the end of production line; the requirement is to capture and store the serial numbers into the handling unit (which works fine) and when the u201Csameu201D handling units are picked for outbound deliveries, the serial numbers are carried along with handling unit created during production which is not working, the system is currently requesting to key in all the serial numbers again during PGI. Can you please let me know how to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance

Hi,
In case of partial HU picking only system will ask serial numbers for HU.
Eg: HU qty - 10pc T.O qty :4pc then system asks which serial no's want to pick from HU.
If it is full HU no need to give serial numbers manually..

Assign Serial numbers to handling Units in the Packing

Hi,
I'm using a Function module SERNR_ADD_TO_HU for to add Serial numbers into the handling units. Function module executed successfully and returns a commit value 'X', but table SER06 was not updated. Is there any thing i'm missing (or) is there any other function module for to add serial numbers to the handling uints.
Thanks in Advance.
Narasimha.

Hi Narasimha.
You can use FM WS_DELIVERY_UPDATE to update serial numbers in HU assigned to deliveries.
I've just finished the code (it took me about 4 days to get it right!!! it was driving me crazy, but it's working now!!!).
Please find a sample code below:

Storage Unit multiple length conversion

Hi Gurus
We have multiple plants and warehouses in our system and for our business reuirements HU and SU are both active
One warehouses use SU conversion length as 10 digits ( pallet numbers with 2 leading zeros) and other use 18 digits
I have a requirement to use different length conversion for SU in different warehoses
For enabling 18 digit SU numbers we have maintained SU conversion length as 18 but this is defined at system level
so for 10 digits SU numbers also system is asking to enter full 18 digits , thius is causing problems in RF transactions and manually in LS33 as well
Let me know if you have come across same thing or any other pointer for changing system to make it understand 10 digits as well
Cheers

   - Warehouse Management
    - Storage Units
     - Master Data
      - Define Number Ranges
       - Conversion exit for storage unit number
You may find the following information.
Conversion of storage unit numbers
SU conversion exit   3    Customer-specific user exit
Length of SU numbers 18
The storage unit number is processed through a conversion exit.
You can find these exits in the domain lenum
   CONVERSION_EXIT_LENUM_INPUT
   CONVERSION_EXIT_LENUM_OUTPUT
You may also use user exit EXIT_SAPLLVSK_002 to reprogram the length conversion again to plus the leading zeroes for the SU number. In the SAP standard any values for the SU number have to be typed in also leading zeroes.

Storage unit Length conversion tcode OMNN

ABAP Guru's
I have a requirement to use different length conversion for SU in different warehoses
HU and SU are both active, Some of the warehouses use SU conversion length as 10 digits and others use 18 digits
as OMNN settings are at client level so we may have to use exit MWMK0001 for our requirement
In OMNN I will use SU conversion exit value as 3 and then through CMOD I will create and activate a project
I will be using first two components of exit MWMK0001 , I am struggling because I can't put break point in this exit .I am new to ABAP so need help Does anyone ever had similar requirement and how it was solved

Serial numbers in Inbound delivery for Handling units

Hello Experts,
I have the following scenario:
Purchase order + Inbound delivery + GR
Inbound delivery is used because I need to create handling units, the materials included in these handling units are serialized and I am getting from the vendor an excel document with Handling unit number and the serial numbers included in each handling unit.
So I would like to use this document to do the packing process in my inbound delivery instead of manually typing the serial numbers.
What would be the best option to do this?
I also need to do the same for MIGO when no HU are needed.
Any Ideas??
Thanks a lot in advance for your comments.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer.
I would like to avoid creating my own Z transaction, is there any point in packing process where I can include some enhancement to upload the serial numbers, I gues the HU and packing process can be done manually by the user.
I was planning to enhance MIGO for the same process without handling units and I know that there a tab can be added at item level. But I do not know where or how to do it while packing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot for your time!

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

Handling unit with serial numbers in return delivery

There is a handling unit (HU),whose system status is PSTD(goods issue posted). The delivery is posted. The billing document are issued. Handling unit was packed with materials with equipments and serial numbers.
Now I am creating another sales document(I want to return the good) and return delivery. No handling unit is attached to return delivery. (Why not? Returning original sales document is created with reference to original sales document)
Now I attach the serial numbers to the return delivery. (the same serial numbers which are included(packed) in the above mentioned HU). The return delivery is successfully posted. The status of equipment/serial numbers is on stock.
The problem is that this serial number with equipment is still packed in the original HU.
How can unpack the equipment from HU? I think the problem is the status of HU which is PSTD(goods issue posted).
Or alternative: can I move the HU unit from original delivery and attach it to return delivery?
The changing of the status of HU is not posssible because the original delivery is posted and I do not want to change this original documents anymore too.

I am afraid you are right
- The return delivery was created without HU. ( i mean HU which was originally sold in original delivery. )
Do you think I should create HU for return delivery with the same/different ID? How can I transfer equipment from original delivery HU to return delivery and HU ?
The problem seem to be that the original delivery and HU is locked (sytem status= posted )after posting. If I cancel posting of return delivery then I can attach a new HU. But the equipment is still part of the original HU.
Can I move equipment/serial numbers from original to returned HU? Is that possible at all?
I am talking about phisical same HU, so I guess there should be not 2 different HUs in the SAP system created.
I am looking for the scenario to sell equipment in one HU and return it in the same HU with return delivery.
thank you for your effort and responses

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,

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
