FERT BOMs that contain FERT components

[chris_coviello]

Hello SAP heros!  We currently have an issue with reporting production (REM with separated back flush).  When the document log is created we cannot post the separated back flush due to errors associated with some of the FERT parts within the main FERT.  The error message received talks about needing to enter a serial number (Error text - Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of xx) Message no IO304.  The solution for the error message is to first enter the serial numbers, however because the separated back flush occurs automatically in the back ground, we cannot provide serial numbers.  We have a work around in place where we disable the serial number profile, process the document log entry (via t-code MF70), and then we enable the serial number profile again.  This work around helps but should not be a long term solution.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed?

Hello Chris,

Please check OSS 100261 which clearly states that serialized components can not be used for back flushing in REM.

Hello Deepak,

     Can you please check that OSS note number.  100261 has something to do with "Field Contents are deleted by substitution."

Hello again... I Found the OSS note number, it is OSS 100621.  Very helpful... thank you.

So now we see SAP does not allow the use of serial numbers when a finished product is used as a component in another finished goods BOM.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?  The engineers insist they must have the part serialized because of agency approval requirements.  Every scenario that comes to mind will still require a serial number profile.
