Transfer of Production Order with Serial Numbers 
This function enables the transfer of serial numbers assigned to a production order from SAP ERP to SAP ME to create corresponding SFC numbers assigned to the Production shop order in SAP ME (see SFC Number).
Note
This function works with SAP ERP 6.05 and higher with activated business function LOG_PP_MES_INT_02 (configuration type C).
For more information, see Transfer of Production Order.
Integration
In SAP ERP, serial numbers are unique at the material level. In SAP ME SFC numbers are unique at the system level.
In SAP ERP production order, you can define serial numbers for the product to be produced.
These serial numbers within the production order are distributed automatically to SAP ME. You can view them on the Serial Numbers tab page of Shop Order Maintenance.
When releasing the shop order, SAP ME creates SFC numbers according to the numbering pattern for SFC Release defined for the material in Next Number Maintenance (see Numbering Patterns). If no definition is found, the default numbering pattern of Material Number-Serial Number is used.
The number of transferred serial numbers equals the Quantity value of the production order (in Customizing for Production, choose

Activities
When you save a production order containing serial numbers in SAP ERP, the data is automatically distributed based on DRF filter settings.
SAPMEINT creates the corresponding Production shop order with SFC numbers in SAP ME (see Shop Order Maintenance).
When SAP ME receives a request to cancel a Production shop order, the status of the SFC numbers changes to Deleted and the shop order status changes to Closed.
When SAP ME receives a request to reopen a canceled shop order, the status of the SFC numbers changes to In Queue and the shop order status changes to Releasable.
When SAP ME receives a request to place a hold on an existing Production shop order, the status of the shop order changes to Hold.
When SAP ME receives a request to release the hold on an existing Production shop order, the system releases each SFC number from its hold status and changes the status of the shop order to Releasable.
