Define Serial
Number Profiles
In this step, you define profiles.
A serial number profile must be assigned to
each
material that is to be serialized. This assignment is made at
plant level in the material master record.
This means that you can assign a separate
serial number profile to a material for each plant. However, a material can
have a mandatory serial number in one plant but not in others.
In a serial number profile, you define the
following:
- Thebusiness operations for which a
serialization:
- Is performed automatically
- Information about whether for a business
operation:
- Serial numbers for which no master record
exists in the system can be assigned
- Serial numbers which already exist in the
system must be entered
- Information about whether a stock validation
is made for stock-relevant operations and how the system should deal with
inconsistencies.
Note that this setting can only deliver meaningful results in combination with
the setting of whether an operation requires serial
numbers.
- The business operations, for which an
equipment master record must or must not be created for each serial
number
- The equipment category which the system should
propose for the automatic assignment of serial numbers in the case of
equipment master records
