Hello B Patel,

Addition to my previous reply,

Process Flow for serial number

1. You create a serial number profile in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service.

2. You create a material master record and enter a serial number profile.

3. You create a batch master record for the material if it is to be managed in batches.

4. You can create serial number master records in advance if you want to have a pool of serial numbers.

From a technical perspective, an "incomplete" equipment master record is created for this.

5. You can create configuration data for serial number master records.

6. You assign serial numbers to the material when business procedures take place (for example, a goods receipt):

- Either you assign manually serial number master records that you created in advance, or

- The system assigns automatically new serial numbers and creates new serial number master records for this

Hope this helps.

Hi,

In Transaction code OIS2 you have to maintain serial number profile & this profile should be maintain in General data view of Material master.

Hope it will help you.

Hello B Patel,

Usage of serail number depends on the serial number profile mentioned in the material master (plant level data). In this profile it is defined that how to use serail number and during what the inventory transactions serail number will be optional, mandatory etc.

The serial number used in the following area in Material Management,

- Various Goods movements i.e. GR, GI, Internal transfer

- During the physical inventory count

- Posting inventory differences

Complete informaiton you will get it from the following link
