goods issue to equipment

Posted on Feb 17, 2017 at 04:02 AM 290 Views Last edit Feb 17, 2017 at 06:06 AM 2 rev.

Hi,

I was just figuring out a way to check whether goods could be issued to equipment directly rather than picking any cost object. Please suggest a way to directly issue any goods to a particular equipment without assigning serial number to the material master.

    Hi Akshay,

    I don't think you can do this without assigning a serial number because the goods issue with equipment is done by assigning serial number profile to the material master & by making equipment creation mandatory in serial number profile.

      Thank you Renuka,

      But see, by assigning serial number i will be bound to consume that particular material against one equipment only. Usually at my projects i have similar kind of equipment deployed for which inventory could also be general. After assigning serial number in the material master for equipment A , i cannot issue that particular material to equipment B which possess same characteristics.

      Also, if i have equipment of same characteristics, I usually don't plan inventory as per individual equipment rather I prefer to do it on object type.

    An equipment is not a cost collector, you need a cost center, a WBS or a work order to issue your goods
