Serial Number Duplicacy

[prashantatri]

Dear friends,

How to avoid duplicate serial numbers? Same serial numbers are creating even if a serial number is already present in the system for the same material number. I want serial number to be unique at client level.

Also please explain what is the equipment number associated with it.

Thanks

Hi Prashant,

For single material there will be unique serial number will be there, its standared funcationality its not possible to duplicate but same serial number you can able create for other material number

for example this is the posiblity is there: Material A- Serial No. X and also Material B-Serial No. X

but Material A- will not have 2 serial No with name of X

For equipment please refer: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/4e/e8bc58140f40a4a6e1e453fcd912f4/content.htm

U can use the path for make serial no. unique across the orgnaisation

Inventory > setup > Organizations > Parameters > Revision, Lot, Serial Tab

Make serial uniquness = Across organizations

Serial Number is duplicating for one material number. Also I am not able to find the path given by you. Please tell me which menu this path is available.

You have to check it via iq03 before you creating it by iq01.

Hi All,

The Scenario here is,

1. Create Serial number automatically in create/Change Production Order (CO01/02).

In Serial Number, Production Order number also included in the 18 digit serial number (Using ABAP Program) so that when GR will be done the user will know that he has to do GR for which Production Order.

2. GR from production.

in GR if the user enters a wrong serial number, then a new serial number is created in GR which was not present in any production Order. Also if he enters a serial number of different production order, the system accepts.

Please tell me how to restrict this wrong serial number entry and where is the setting for unique serial number at client level/Company code level.
