Hi Jaya,

You can assign componenets (with serial nos.) to assembly ( also with serial nos.) with COIB after goods receipt.( Menu path --Logistics -> Plant maintenance -> Management of technical objects -> Installed base -> Create (special) -> With reference to production data.)

Example: Say assembly sr. no. is 1

And components serial no. are- 1,5,10,20 and so on.

After assignment of components it can be viewed on right part of screen, You can have the assignment history--- ie for which assembly no. which components are assigned or vice versa. In production order i.e in descrete mfg. it can be directly done at the time of operation confirmation.

The following is the detail steps:

1. T code--COIB

2. Enter material code ( Assembly). You can select specific serial no. of assembly --- by putting sr. no. in serial no. field.

3. Click on list tree- you will find all assembly with serial numbers.

4. Click on explode-- it will show the BOM ( in bottom left corner of screen)

5. Select the assembly numbers for which you want to assign the componets

6. Clik on tranfer

7. Select the component

8. Also select the assembly no. on right side screen.

9. Select the serial no. which you want to assign to an assembly

10. Click on assign

11. You will find all the components will get assigned to assembly with serial numbers.

12. Now on right side screen there is "save" button. ( It will ask you create/ change as built in foreground or background?

13. Select as foreground

14. Save

15. You will find a message at the borttom --- saved.

16. Now you will find tick mark ( in front of finished material) in right part of screen ( indication of assignment of components)

Hello,

What you can also do is to create serial no profile under plant maintenance customizations may be one for the Components and another for the assembly and make it a mandatory in material master ...Serial no profile need to be assigned to both in Sales and workscheduling view.(for inhouse produxced part

)

Then system automatically asks for serial numbers during GI and GR

Hi,

Right Mr. Shashi,

These are the steps

1. Assign the serial number profile in corresponding material master

2.Create separate serial nos with tcode: IQ01

3.Upload the stock for corresponding material with Tcode:MB1C

While uploading itself it will ask for serial number ---> assign it

4.Then create the sales order. U can assign the serial number in delivery document also

Hi Jaya,

Which version of SAP are you working ? If u go through COIB tcode, u will see that after entering the material no and serial no, it shows some serial nos and among that we have to search our entered no and assign that no to the right side window.

In the right side winidow you have to a save -create/change -builit foreground . pls let me know massage no?
