FIFO for serial number

872 Views

Dear SAP experts,

We are in SAP ECC 6 EHP 7. We have requirement that our serialized material need to be issued in FIFO basis, meaning that the first serial number coming in should be issued first. We are thinking to use batch, but as we also have split valuation, it become tricky for us because we see that one batch can only contain one valuation type (while in our scenario, one batch can have multiple serial no and these serial no can switch from one val type to another, eg. new --> used_bad --> used_ok).

So we're just wondering whether the serial no itself has the functionality of FIFO, so the system can propose the oldest serial no in stock. Is this possible? I have tried to search in the forum and many suggesting enhancement IQSM0001 - Automatic Serial Number Assignment. But we have tried this and this is actually to automate the numbering of newly created serial no (such as in GR transaction), rather than automate the determination of serial no to be issued.

Is there a way to have FIFO during GI posting with serial no?

Best regards,

John
