Determine
Serial Number Profiles
In this step, you define serial number profiles
and allocate them to equipment categories.
The
serial number profile (table T377) is
required in order to be able to flag objects of a material with serial
numbers. The serial number profile controls the following:
- The serialization transactions for the profile
define the transactions for which serialization is possible.
- Serial number usage defines whether
serialization is mandatory or optional
- The equipment required function specifies
whether a piece of equipment is required.
- The serial number profile can be allocated to
different transactions with different parameterization.
The equipment category distinguishes individual
pieces of equipment according to their usage.
Note
If you marked serial number allocation as
mandatory in the delivery, goods issue for items which require serial numbers
cannot be posted if it has not been assigned serial number.
Actions
If you want to use your own serial number
profile, proceed as follows:
1. Create a
serial number profile by entering an alphanumeric key with a maximum of four
characters as well as a description.
2. Choose
"Serialization transactions".
3. With
Table view -> Other view , you reach the data
screen on which you can define the serial number usage and equipment
required.
4. In addition,
specify whether the allocation of the serial number should be carried out
mandatorily or optionally. If serial numbers are not required, they can be
created during document processing.
5. Enter the
equipment category for serial numbers.
