hi

i think for internal number ranges it has been predefined , whereas if you want to specify the external number use IQ01 to create the same ,and in the profile make the serial number as existence required.

Hi raghu

with your query i want to add few points from my point of view to comeover the issue

You may define your own serial number profile in SPRO in that you may define with ref to your requirement either sl.no assignment at the time of gi or gr depends on your option

whenever you are going to release production order go for sl no assignment tab you may define your own alphaneumaric number range with respect to no. of production orders as well

once you define you have to assign your own define sl.no profile in workscheduling view and create material

i hope this will clear your issue upto certain can try and let me know

if useful answer can you award with few points

thanks

Hi,

Pls find here some details about generating alphanumeric serial numbers in production order as below :

You can generate alphanumeric serial number with the following BADI / Customer Exit:

Name of Enhancement : IQSM0001

Name of Function Module Exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001

Name of Include : ZXQSMU01

ZXQSMU01:

This user exit can be used to create the serial numbers automatically for material of a production order. Number of serial numbers generated will be equal to the total number of quantity. The purpose behind development of this user exit was to attach prefix in each serial number generated.

so as per your requirement you can generate serial number like ABC0001 etc.

Process Steps:

For exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001

1. Get serial number profile for a material in respective plant.

2. Check if the profile is u2018XYZu2019.

3. If profile is u2018XYZu2019 generate the serial numbers for the given quantity of material in production order.

General Program Structure

For exit: EXIT_SAPLIPW1_001

1. Get the serial number profile using function module 'MARC_SINGLE_READ' for a material.

2. Check if the profile is u2018XYZu2019.

3. If the serial number profile is u2018XYZu2019 then generate the serial numbers for the given production order quantity of a material.

4. Concatenate ABC as a prefix to the all generated serial numbers

Provide above details reg. implementation BADI / Enhancement to your ABAPer and go ahead.

Hope this helps.

Revert in case of any doubt.
