uniqueness of Serial Number

Hi,

I have problems with the uniqueness of serial numbers. Frist of all I have created a material, afterwards I have maintained the serial number profile. I have added the profile to the material. And I have created

serial numbers for this material.

Now I can choose one of the serial number and add it into the material in the sales order. I can create delivery and ivoice and in all documents this serial number is in.

Now, if I create a second sales order I can choose the same serial number like in the first sales order,

but this is wrong.

Perhaps anyone has an idea?

Hello,

The system will allow creating another delivery with the same serial number which had already been delivered. As you know once you PGI the delivery the serial number status will become ECUS At customer site. But when we try to create another delivery with the same serial number, logically the system shouldn't allow processing, but in standard SAP it will allow processing with a warning message.

I believe you need to conver this message to Error, contact your ABAP expert, he may be able to guide you properly.

Hi,

my experience is that serial number uniqueness is only possible when you define that for the profile an equipment record is always created AND in the material master you set the serialization level to 1. I found the hint at the field on the material master called SerialsationLevel and press F1. You also define the number range in the equipment customizing. This uniqueness is independent of material also, meaning that MATA MATB MATC will have unique serial numbers when they are all set to seriallevel 1.
