Assignment of serial numbers to already existing deliveries

[sushanta_dash]

Hi All,

We are having a requirement in which we need to update the old inbound/outbound deliveries with the serial number. Is it possible?

If possible then how?

I mean to say that we want to mass assign serial numbers to the inbound and outbound deliveries.

thanks in advance..

Regards,

Sushanth,

It is not possible. The main reason for asigning serial numbers is for tracking purpose.( Based on the material, Equipment, Functional location). We assign it because if in case the material needs to be replaced or refurbished then this serial no will help us in that instance.

Serial numbers are master data that is used to identify material individually, in other words if a delivery involves 14 pices of material for delivery each material will have distinct number associated with it for tracking. This process is done well before PGI/PGR.

So there is no point in assigning serial nos to the bygone inbound and outbound deliveries it will create lots of other problems. Moreover the entire process would have been completed and money also recovered. There is no point in procceding further.

What you can do is you can set serial numbers for new inbound and outbound deliveries and maintain it accordingly.
