You cannot assign serial number profile to already exsisting material.

To need assign the serial numbers to the material at GR then you should already have a serial number profile assigned to the material.

Create new material and assign a serial number profile to this.And transfer the material with movement type 309.

Pl ck the following link.

This should solve your problem.

'There is no alternative for this, Please do not make the mistake of activating serial number profile for a material that has stock, we have faced similar issues in the past.

Best way to remove the stock, activate serial number profile, take back the stock in with serial number.

Use 201 & 202 movements for this as you can track down any discrepancies or issues.'

Hi,

Yes, you can assign Serial Number Profile for a material in the material master (sales : General/Plant tab).

Thanks.
