Features

Entering Serial Numbers

Once you have determined the serial number requirement for a product in Customizing, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) displays this on the RF screen. When you select SNum, EWM displays the entry screen for serial numbers. You can manually specify the necessary serial numbers or scan the barcode in. With this RF display you can also specify the serial numbers in the low stock check or for difference quantities.

If you want to delete serial numbers that have already been scanned-in or specified, you have to either scan or specify the barcode for a second time. Subsequently, you delete the serial number using Del.

Displaying Predetermined Serial Numbers

If you are working with predetermined serial numbers, EWM assigns them to the corresponding warehouse tasks. If you are in an RF-supported transaction, EWM firstly determines the warehouse tasks and checks whether predetermined serial numbers exist for them. If you select SNum in the RF-supported transaction, EWM displays the predetermined serial numbers.

In the RF environment, EWM only displays predetermined serial numbers. You cannot overwrite it.

If you only partially confirm an outbound delivery quantity, you must specify the serial numbers manually. EWM does not display any of the predetermined serial numbers.

Entering Serial Number Ranges

In the RF environment, you can specify whole serial number ranges instead of individual serial numbers. Select Range on the entry screen for serial numbers. EWM displays a new screen where you can enter the starting and end values for your serial number range. On this screen, EWM also displays the data for the product, the number of serial numbers necessary, and the number of serial numbers that already exist.

When you have specified the serial number area, EWM updates the number of existing serial numbers accordingly. EWM displays the serial number range in a step loop and you can then specify the next serial number range.

If you want to correct the entry, you must return to the previous screen and make entries again.

Serial Numbers for Differences

If you specify a difference for an outbound delivery quantity, for example with the exception code DIFW, then you can also specify the corresponding serial numbers. Select SNum on the entry screen for differences. EWM displays the data for the product, the number of serial numbers required, and the number of serial numbers that already exist. If you select List, EWM displays a new screen with all of the existing serial numbers at storage bin, handling unit (HU) and reference document level. The list is only displayed if you have to specify serial numbers for a difference.

You can specify one or more row numbers with the serial numbers that you want to select. EWM selects these serial numbers. If you want to undo this operation, re-enter the selected row number.

After you have selected one or more row numbers, you can return to the entry screen for serial numbers. EWM displays the selected serial numbers for the difference. When you confirm the corresponding warehouse task, EWM makes a posting change for these selected serial numbers.

Searching for Serial Numbers

You can search for serial numbers in the RF environment. To do so, select 05 Internal Processes ® 03 Queries ® 02 Stock Query ® Serial Number Location. Enter the product and serial number. EWM displays the stock or the location for this serial number. You can use HU Det (Handling Unit Detail) to display the detailed data for the HU. You can use BinDe (Bin Detail) to display the data for the stock and for the storage bin.
