How to Map Serial number scenario.

hi PP gurus,

i want to Map the serial number management scenario for one of my client.

can anyone throw somelight on how it works, and in briefs steps involved like, Master Data etc needed.

Our client is into Electrical goods mfg business.

hi

First you have to create serial numbe profile in the IMG settings with proper settings and serialization procedure

Then assign the same to the material master.

as per the procedure serial number will get generated during GR,PP order release

Hi ganesh,

The serial number profile defines the conditions and times (operations) for assigning

serial numbers to materials.

It includes the following:

The business operations for which a serialization can be performed, must be

performed, is performed automatically, or is not to be performed.

An existence validation, that is, a check is carried out for a specific business

process to verify whether the serial number already exist or can be

reassigned.

A stock validation, that is, a check is carried out for stock-relevant operations.

The necessity to create an equipment master record.

The required equipment type that the system should use for the automatic

assignment of serial numbers.

Exampale: .

MMSL: Goods receipts, issues, stock transfers, stock transfer orders, and

physical inventory

. PPAU: Use of serial numbers when creating production orders

. PPRL: For the assignment of serial numbers when releasing production orders

. PPSF: For the assignment of serial numbers in repetitive manufacturing

. QMSL: For the assignment of serial numbers when entering the original value in

an inspection lot

Under certain conditions, the business procedure assigned to the serial number profile

may not be restrictive enough for some of the associated movement types. For

example, it may be specified for the MMSL procedure that serial number usage is

optional since the serial number is assigned at a later time. However, existing stock

must be loaded into the system during implementation. This is done

using movement type 561; entry errors are corrected using movement type

562. Since this is existing stock, the serial numbers have already been determined

in the legacy systems and procedures, and thus they would be required when using

movement type 561 or 562.

It is therefore possible to assign a movement type group to the profile and indicate

that serial number usage is obligatory. The movement type group is then assigned to

the specific movement type. As a result, all materials with this particular profile

specified in the material master require a serial number to be specified whenever a

good movement using movement type 561 or 562 is transacted.

A serial number master record contains the following information:

Status information

Stock information

Partner data

Configuration data

If internal number assignment is chosen, the first serial number created is

the next sequence from the last one assigned to this material at this plant.
