Hi,
Serial Number Management
Purpose
You can use this component to identify and differentiate between individual items of material. This component therefore ideally supplements the material master record, which may contain all data for describing and managing a piece of material, but which does not enable you to differentiate between individual items of that material.
You can use serial numbers in various business procedures within Logistics. In each case, a transaction history is created for the individual serialized material item and its status is maintained automatically.
Integration
You can use serial numbers when working with the following business procedures and objects:
Component involved
Business procedure or operation
Plant Maintenance
Equipment
Refurbishment order
Maintenance contract
When using maintenance processing and history
Production orders
Production order
Sales and Distribution
Sales order, inquiry, quotation
Delivery and returns delivery
Completeness check for deliveries and returns deliveries
Quality Management
Original value recording of inspection lots
Inventory Management and Physical Inventory
Goods movements
Entering the physical inventory count
Posting inventory differences
Repetitive manufacturing
Inward movements from repetitive manufacturing
Purchasing
Purchase order
Purchase requisition
Constraints
Uniqueness of the serial number within a client, therefore cross-material, is not supported at present.
You need to maintain Serial Number profile IN work scheduling view / sales view in material master if you want to maintain serial numbers from PP / SD perspective respectively. Further you need to maintain Number range objects & Number ranges in SNRO with specification external / internal numbers required for serial numbers for the respective object.
For production orders, you can directly define number ranges in CO82.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Revert in case any query.

Tejas

Hi
Serial number is also a master record, as it will be unique for a particular material. The serial number will be mostly given at the time of delivery. But this can be effectively controlled by the serializing procedure. We can create a serial number by IQ01. As and when you do transaction with serialised material, the status will get updated.
Equipment also have same like serial number, this can be effectively created with transaction IQ01, activate the equipment view

Hi,
You use serial numbers to identify a product uniquely and to provide yourself with an overview of which products you have sold to which customers. The serial number is only unique in conjunction with a product, for example, cell phone CELL PHONE 0000000012345 or ENGINE0000000012345.
For example, you can use serial numbers in the following instances:
● If a freight forwarder damages a pallet during transportation, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) can show you which engines were on the palette and could now potentially be damaged.
● You can tell if a partner reports a product as having been stolen, but later sends it to you for maintenance.
● If a customer returns a damaged engine, you can determine whether it is actually the engine that you supplied them with.
● If, during quality control, you determine that a production error has occurred, you can identify the affected product groups by using serial numbers. If necessary, you can also identify the customers to which you have already sold damaged products and inform them of this.
Also pls find some material in the folowing link

Follow the following steps to set up serial no.:
1. OIS2 Determine Serial Number Profiles.
2. MM02 You need to add the above created Serial Number Profile in the Material Master as .
3. IQ01 Create Serial Number
4. CO02 Assigning the Serial Number through Production Order, Also Serial Number can be created automatically by clicking on u201CCreate Serial Number Automaticallyu201D , Release the Order
5. MB31 Do the GR for the above created Production Order.
6. Check in MMBE for serial Numbers
