serial no. in production orders

[Former Member]

in the production scheduling profile, the setting is such that, the production order gets released when it is created.

the serial numbers are issued to each finished good unit when the production order is released.

Can it be possible to issue the serial number from the order start date and not the creation date?

Hi

You can set the serial number creation only at prodn order creation or order released

you can't set for the order start date particularly

Hi Anbalagan ,

You can do setting for which stage serial number is to be checked in Transaction OIS2 in which

you need to give serializing procedure which defines in which business function you need serial

number is to be checked .

But as per SOX the serial number reconcillation will be done Quality also ie whereever Goods

movement is there will prompt serial number checking . otherwise you can create your own serial

number profile in which you can restrict that at the time of goods mvt you need serial no checking

Currently we issue a serial number to each finished good unit on a production order when we release the order. This serial number is a combination of the Plant, Month, Year and an indexed number. For example N0D876678 (Norman, D=April, 8 =08, 76678=number) What the Engineers are now asking for is that they want the Serial number to be issued from the Order Start Date not the creation date. They believe that if they start using a new component as of the first of April 08 then they should be able to track it by serial number. But the serial numbers for orders starting on 4/1 were issued 3 days earlier when we released the orders and they still show March 08.

So do you use any user exit to generate this serial number? If that is the case you can incorporate your logic in that user exit as per your requirement. I am not sure if I understood your requirement correctly.

If I assign the serial numbers during goods receipt, are the serial numbers issued from the order start date?

I am not clear about it.

Can u explain in detail?

The current serial no. profile has the following SerUsage settings

PPAU 04

PPRL 04

PPSF 03

Amit,

What do you mean by issuing on order start date?

Instead of assigning serial numbers in prod order you can consider assigning the serial number during goods receipt. For this you have to change the serial number profile procedure in OIS2 traxn. Make the SerUsage to 1 for PPAU and PPRL so that serial numbers are not required to be assigned when oroder is created/ released.
