Maintenance of serial number profile for a material

[Former Member]

Hi,

We need to maintain serial number profile for a material. Presently there exists stock for this material.

Could you please let us know the prerequisites for maintaining the serial number profile for a material where stock exists.

System should not allow to update the material with serial number profile if stock exists, since for the existing stock serial numbers are not available. But in our case, system is allowing to update the profile for the material where stock exists. Could you suggest if any setting/config is missing to throw an error.

Regards,

Srinivas

I have the solution below.

- Don't change Serial no. profile

- Goods issue all stock with mvt 201 or 261 into temporary cost object and note your text.

- Change Serial no. profile in material master

- Goods receipt all stock (You may ref. material doc.) and you need to input serial number for all materials.

Hope this solution can help you.

Hi,

You are right,.we are doing the same thing. But, if stock exists, then system should not allow to change serial number profile. Can we make any settings to throw an error during changing of serial number profile for material with stock.

Hi,

System allows to use Serial No. Profile for the materials with Stock and then you have to execute report RISERNR9 in SA38.
