Use

The assignment of serial numbers when creating a production order, enables you to choose between single items of a material. Each produced part can then be uniquely identified using the combination of the material number and the serial number.

Integration

If you want to use the serial number assignment function, you must work with the PM module.

Prerequisites

The following requirements must be fulfilled if you want to assign single items of a material with a serial number when you create a production order:

Features

For each material, you can specify

If serial numbers are assigned automatically, then you must manually trigger assignment by selecting Header ® Select serial numbers in the order header and then determine the number yourself or let the system do this (Create serial number automatically).

Note

If you change the order quantity after assigning serial numbers in the production order, then the system informs you that the number of assigned serial numbers must be checked and adjusted.

During goods receipt of the manufactured product, the serial numbers are transferred from the production order to inventory management.

Activities

Create a serial number profile with the relevant settings in Customizing for Plant maintenance. Assign the profile to the affected material master records.

For more information about serial number profiles, refer to the Management of Serial Numbers document.
