Serial Number Management

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Our client is facing problem of Tacking the material. In this regard, we suggested him to have serial number management to overcome the issue. (already using SAP and do not want have Batch Management).

In this regard, can anybody tell me the configuration steps in MM

Also let me know can we able to configure serial number management for running business?

Hi KK, serial number management is a good way to keep track of item movement in the company ... but if you want to configure it in already running system, make sure you do it for items which are really crucial as the user may resist if they need to track serials for not so useful items as well. For configuration, please check the SAP help document at http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/LOMDSN/LOMDSN.pdf

In short to activate Serial numbers : Tcode - OIS2, create a new serial number profile, in serializing procedure check where you want to create the serial numbers. e.g: at the time of g.rof prod. order ... etc.... And assign the profile to material master

Hi Kishor

1) To track the Material using serial number mgmgnt is a good concept In sap , before that you Need to decide You want to enter

serial number manualy or atomatic or user defined serial number.

2) theire will be lot of complication will come while doing GR/GI, user should properly knows the concept .

3) if you want to track FG then it will be ok , if you want to track the Raw Material also u need to go for Batch managemnt, so that

you can track properly.

Thanks a lot Mr. Madhu Sudhana.

I will give more details about the requirement.

My client scenario is like this:

Procuring the bought out components from vendor. while GR, check the quality and take inward OK qty.

After that, they are mixing all the materials (procured from outside and in house produced components) and issuing the same for further process.

While shipping, they affix a sticker on the box mentioning only Customer No (customer instructions)

when we get rejections, how we can track back the same (from which lot / which vendor)

can anybody give me a solution for the same.

Thanks in advance

Hi Kishor

In that case u have to maintain Batch number for EXt procured material and Ur finish good u need to maintain , Serial number

while doing GR for ext material u maintain vendor details in the batch Number(Batch master).that material u have to issue to

finished good that finished goods will be having Serial number. while Doing shiping u have to mention serial number with customer

Number, when ever u will get a complient from customer. In IQ04 U need to enter seril number and Material number, u wii get the

item screen with in that screen u will find a tab Histry button, by clicking histry button u will find mov type. and doc number , with

doc number u will get a order number, by that order u wii get all goods movemnt against that order with that batch details, by

batch u will get vendor details.

U take ur ABAP help to write a program so that by removing qty with 561 Mtype, and activate batch mngement and Reassign the stcok again.

1) Sum cahnges u have to take care,

It will crate a Mat document and Fi document if the small varieation the FI document.

Sum material the program will not work Becouseit iwll chwxck the previous period stco kwhile activating batch managemnt , so u have to go 1 period fwand activate batch, come back to present period after activating batch.

u shopuld lock all user's while doing this above scenario, eccept your's ID.

i Hope it will be helpful
