Hi Rock,

Have you checked the Warehouse Product Master data in EWM for the two products at hand? You should check that they do not have any Serial Number Profile allocated in the Storage tab.

Also check Define Item Types for Inbound Delivery Process in customizing so as to see if the Serialization check is selected.

All the best,

Hello Rock,

For the customizing check for Serialization please follow the path in SPRO: Extended Warehouse Management - Goods Issue Process - Outbound Delivery - Manual Settings - Define Item Types for Outbound Delivery Process. There you will find the mark for Serialization at outbound delivery item level. The things I said earlier about the product master still apply so check them please.

All the best,

Hi Maxim,

Yeah i check the path:

SPRO: Extended Warehouse Management - Goods Issue Process - Outbound Delivery - Manual Settings - Define Item Types for Outbound Delivery Process.

I found the SN filed is chech marked(selected for item type ODLV but where in ECC or EWM i can see these Item Type for

the above two items say G6-0BD & G6-0BE for whom system is asking serial number in /scwm/prdo/.

Please help me out.

Hello Rock,

Have you checked the product master Serial Number Profile allocated in the Storage tab? If the system asks in the /scwm/prdo/ for the serial numbers then the two prerequisites are met namely:

1. Seriliazitaion at ODLV item level

2. Serial number profile on the materials in the Warehouse Product master data.

Besides this, you are asking where can you find the item type relevant in your case in order to check if the above first prerequisite is characteristic? You can see the item type in the transaction that you mentioned /SCWM/PRDO - Maintain Outbound Delivery Order. In this transaction you will find in the Form view at Item level that the Item Category DLV and Item Type ODLV.

By the way Rock, please check at item leve in the above transaction what is the Serial Number Requirement (you can find it under the Country of origin field). What value do you have there? A, B or C?

All the best,

Hi Claudiu,

Below in the scenario:

I have three item for outbound delivery say Mat A, B & C.

I had check MM03 for Mat A,B & C there in no Serial number profile for all three material A,B & C.

Also I had checked /scwm/mat1 for all three material here also I had found no Serial Profile requirement for Mat A,B & C.

But when I checked the path

SPRO: Extended Warehouse Management - Goods Issue Process - Outbound Delivery - Manual Settings - Define Item Types for Outbound Delivery Process.

I found the SN filed is chech marked for item type ODLV & Doc Category PDO.

Item category for Mat A, B & C is DLV.

Item Type for Mat A, B & C is ODLV.

So my question is as all three materials are of same Item Type.

So while doing /scwm/prod/ why system only ask Serial number Profile for only Mat B & C .Why it is not asking for Mat A?

At item level in the above transaction the Serial Number Requirement value is A .

Your reply is highly appreciated.

Hi Rock,

All right we narrowd down the problem and so pretty much concluded that the cause is form the Serialization check at outbound delivery item level from what I understand. Furthermore, concerning material A we still need to find the cause for which the ODO does not see it relevant for the Serial Number check as for the other two materials. It sis a tricky question and so I would ask you when does the ODO tell you that it needs the SNs? (When you hit the Check button in the ODO, when you try to confirm the pick WT?)

Also I would advise you to check if material A unlike materials B and C has the batch determined and if you have available stock in the warehouse for material A.

Hi Claudiu,

System is asking for detecting serial number while hitting check button in the ODO.

Also i check & i found all three materials A,B & C are identical in all terms ?

Also there is no issue of availability os stock.

But when i checked in Tcode MM03 >Enviornment > Display Changes:

I found the changes for Mat B & C for serial Number Profile and not for Mat A.

But the Changes was befor Document creation (Sales order & Outbound delivery)

So i think changing in material before Document creation should not make any issue !

So Please help me out.

Hi Rock,

It is quite an issue to say the least. From what you last wrote I can deduce that all three materials are the same both in ERP and EWM. The cange that took place might either not have been transported in due time in EWM. Please do the following and keep me posted:

1. Check the CIF interface to see if material A is included (CFM5) in a currently active interface

2. Check if the background job for transffering the CIF is ok (SM37). This is if you have a background job defined, if not I advise to to define them.

3. Delete the ODO and then the system will create another ODO based on the ODR. Check to see if the new ODO has the same problem.

Hope this helps,
