Restrict Sales Order Creation for Serial Numbers already in Sles Order/Sold

We have recently implemented variant configuration and usage of serial numbers.
Facing some problems because of this.
1. If a Material is in Stock e.g Material xyz and serial number 123
System allows us to create sales order and Deliver and Invoice Serial number 124.
I have activated Indicator: Serial Number Existence Requirement thru OIS2. However it solves only part of my problem.
If for Material xyz serial number 123 is in stock but serial number 124 has also been created and assigned to material xyz but not in stock, then system allows me to create sales order, delivery and billing for material xyz and serial number 124.
When I check MMBE I see zero stock when I click on serial number I see serial 123, which is inconsistent.
How to ensure that such a situation does not happen?
Also I do not want the system to create a sales order for a material for which sales order has been created.
e.g. for material xyz and serial 1234 if sales order exists then system should not allow creation of another sales order for the same combination.
However in case of consignment orders the system should allow only the logical transactions like consignment fill up or consignment returns.
Please help.

Hi
This is nothing but Creating Roles and assigning the respective authorizations to the Roles for giving the access to the related Tcodes
This has to be done by basis people
using the Transactions
PFCG
SU21
SUIM
such that every user can not create the sales order or change it.

Hi Vasanth,
I'm not really fluent in VB, but I think that a SerialNumbers.Add() and SerialNumbers.SetCurrentLine() are missing before the Next

Assigning HU with serial numbers to deliveries

Hi Experts,
While assigning HUs to a delivery, SAP checks the quantities in delivery item with the quantities in HU. If the HU quantity is more than the line item quantity SAP prevents assigning the same.
eg.
We have 3 items with quantity 10, 3 and 7 i.e. total 20
We want to assign HU 1000000173 and 1000000174 each with 10 items to this delivery. I.e. total 20 items in 2 HUs to be assigend to 3 line items and the serial numbers from the HUs to be assigned to the delivery items.
Standard SAP does not allow this. It assigns the first HU to the item with 10 quantities. When we enter the second HU, it compares it with the delivery item quantity as rejects it. Is it possible to split the HU serial numbers and assign the same HU to both the line items.
When we have a material without serial numbers, SAP assigns the same HU to multiple delivery items but it doesnot allow this in case of materials with serial number.
We are on ECC 6.0.
Any pointers to resolve this would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Prashant

Experts,
Any pointers ?
Is it advisable from business perspective to assign HU to multiple line items ?

Creation of Recurring Inspection Lots with Serial numbers

Hello,
We have the following scenario at our client :
MIGO_GR is used to create GR for materials with Serial number requirement. The serial numbers can be generated automatically or manually entered on the screen. At this point of time, the Shelf Life expiry date & Next Inspection date are calculated based upon the Production date. The Batch gets created with Next Inspection date, Inspection Lots are created and the Serial numbers are assigned by the system. The stock moves into QI.
The stock is moved from Quality restricted to Unrestricted stock via QA11. The serial numbers are handled by the system or can be managed on screen.
Transaction QA07 (Deadline Monitoring of Batches) is used to create Recurring Inspection. QA07 gives error message IO304 that "Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 1". The problem is that system doesn't pick up the corresponding serial numbers.
OSS # 497845 mentions that Transaction QA07 can not handle serial number. The serial numbers are very critical to the business process.
Has anyone come across this situation before ? Please suggest solution or workaround. I tried using BAdI "INSPECTIONLOT_UPDATE" & was able to create Inspection Lots with serial number assignment, also manipulated Batch to change the Next Inspection date. The problem is Material Movement (322) Document does NOT get created.
Also tried implementing BAdI as per OSS # 608830 but doesn't give desired results.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Homiar Kalwachwala.

Hello all,

Restrict Equipment Master (with serial numbers) creation

Hello All,
I am faced with an issue where the client will be using Serial Numbers for 2 sets of materials. I have assigned a Serial Number profile to these materials in Material Master.
I am able to create equipment master data for these materials with serial numbers without any issue.
However, I am also able to create equipment master data (with serial numbers) for materials to which I have not assigned a Serial Number profile.
Is there a way to restrict the creation of equipment master data (with serial numbers) to only those material that have a Serial Number profile assigned in material master data...?
Thanks
Jensi

Thanks for the reply Amuthan.
Unlike what you wrote in the reply, the system does allow me to create/save a equipment number for those serial numbers that I assign to materials that do not have a serial number profile.
Is there any validation, any check or something of that sort that I can activate so that the system will prevent assignment of serial numbers (and in turn creation of equipment master data) for those materials which do not have a serial number profile assigned in the material master data?
Thanks
Jensi

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.

Update Serial Numbers and Qty with bapi_outb_delivery_change

HI All
I want to update serial numbers and quantity(delivery qty) for a delivery, this is mostly in case of short ship and over ship, I am using the BAPI for this updation, but I am getting errors to it.
I am passing the following data in the BAPI:
HEADER_DATA -
> Delivery Number
DELIVERY -
> Delivery Number
ITEM_DATA -
> DELIV_NUMB(Delivery Number), DELIV_ITEM(Item), MATERIAL(material), DLV_QTY(Qty what i need to update in VL02n), FACT_UNIT_NOM(as 1), FACT_UNIT_DENOM (as 1), SALES_UNIT(VRKME), BASE_UOM(MEINS)
ITEM_CONTROL -
> DELIV_NUMB(delivery Number), DELIV_ITEM(Item), CHG_DELQTY(as 'X') .
But I get this error message.
"serial numbers are already maintained. Quantity cannot be changed"
Please suggest how can I change both?
Regards
Swar

Hi Swar
I can maybe give you insight on why you are receiving the error message in hopes in can help you go to the right direction. In the sales order for technical objects if you are maintaining lets say a qty of 2 each serial numbers. When you create the delivery the system passes both serial numbers to the delivery. In cases of short ship (wanting to only ship one each) go to the serial number in the file menu under extras in the delviery and before changing qty to one each; delete the serial number you are not shipping then change your qty this works.

Subsequent outbound delivery split with serial numbers

Hi,
I have a question about subsequent outbound delivery split with already assigned serial numbers.
Case:
First delivery is created and serial numbers are assigned. Now we have to do a subsequent delivery split for that delivery. In SAP standard, it's not possible to do a subsequent delivery split if serial numbers are already assigned.
Does anyone know how we can handle this?
Best Regards,
Florian

well, seems to be not possible at all.

Serial Numbers in QA11 Record Usage Decision

Hi all,
We are using the serial numbers scenario in goods receipt. The user has to enter the serial numbers of the equipment/devices at the time of preparing goods receipt in MIGO_GR against a purchase order. An Inspection Lot is generated after posting the goods receipt. The has to prepare the GR approx 5000 nos. of material in each goods receipt.
Usage Decision has to be recorded for all these 5000 serial numbers in a particular inspection lot. Once we run the Tcode : QA11 and enter the quantity to be posted to blocked stock as 5000 and click on the save icon.
The system throw a screen for selection of serial numbers for which the usage decision is to be recorded. On this screen, all the 5000 serial numbers entered in the inspection lot should be available for selection. But the system sometimes shown only 5, sometimes it shows 2500, sometimes 1000 nos. for selection.
Please suggest if this might be due to some configuration problem or due to constraint of memory in the lock table in SM12. We are facing the same problem while processing the goods receipt for 5000 nos. through a BAPI.
Thanks in advance.
AJ

HI Anand,
Thanks for your immediate response. You have perfectly understood my problem. The following are the clarifications for your queries :-
Point No. 01 : We are posting the entire quantity (5000 nos.) to blocked stock. We enter 5000 in the To Blocked Stock field of Inspection Lot quantity Tab of the Inspection Lot. After entering the quantity we click on the Save button to post the Usage Decision. A pop of the serial numbers for select is given after clicking on the Save button. The serial number pop up is given if we try to process the usage decision for full quantity of 5000 nos. But sometimes if we put a smaller quantity say 20 nos. then the popup is not given and the usage decision is successfully posted for 20 nos. So the system behaves very randomly.
Point No. 02 : The serial numbers displayed for the selection is also random say sometimes 13/5000, 2500/5000, 0/5000.
Point No. 03 : I have checked the SER03 and OBJK tables and all the 5000 serial numbers are allocated to the material document.
We already have escalated to SAP, but do you feel there is some configuration issue for the same. Please give your valuable suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Connection between serial numbers in production order end confirmation

Hi all,
could you tell me if is possible in co11n to chose serial numbers already generated during the creation of production order?
I set an automatic generation of serial numbers in saving of co01.. can I decide in co11n which serial number of a precise prod.order to confirm?
Thanks,
Valentina

Thanks for your answer,
I'm using this way to do you suggested me.. but the problem is this:
For ex:
Prod. order A
Quantity of prod. order = 100
Quantity already confirmed 50
I have to put in warehouse only 5 finished prducts, but when I use migo 101 for a GR, the system proposes to me 100 serial numbers from which I can select 5 sn; next time whene I have to select 5 others serial numbers, the system proposes to me all the 100 serial numbers again..
I'd like to find a way to eliminate from the serial numb. list in migo 101 the sn that I've already selected before.
For this I can force the storage to "blank" in the list selection, but if another production order B, for the same material exists, how can I know which of those serial numbers belongs to the order A and which to the order B?
Regards,
Valentina

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

Reg: Serial Numbers

Hi All,
I need few inputs on Serial Numbers.
we are assigning serial numbers to the production orders.
Usually we were allocating Serial number at the time MIGO_GO(GR) in serial number tab , instead of CO01 screen in order header at the time of order creation. Now for one of the material after creating the production order at the time of saviing the system is asking maintain serial Number.we dont want to assign serial number at the time of order creation ,we will be assigning at the time of Production GR(MIGO). For one of the sales order i am facing this problem .
Please let me know..the solution

Dear,
> i am facing this issue, for only this material and we create many production orders earlier.
Compare the serial number profile assigned for the material in which you are facing this problem with the serial number profiles assigned to the earlier material where you never experienced this.
Then go to OIS2 and make the suitable changes as mentioned earlier.
