Serial Number validation during Delivery Creation itself(PGI-system checks)

[Former Member]

Process:

Sales Order PR(Purchase Order) GR( New Serial Numbers are created automatically or manually keyed in)

Once the Goods Receipt is received, we do the (SO) DELIVERYu2014SERIAL NUMBER ASSIGNMENT Post Goods Issue

Issue:

Current Serial Number Profile Management does not do a valid serial number check during DELIVERY CREATION where we do a SERIAL NUMBER ASSIGNMENT.

Only during POST GOODS ISSUE, the check happens for valid serial numbers; this is too late in the game for business as there is a time lag of 3 days from the DELIVERY CREATION and PGI.

*******************************************************

Reason being--- We donu2019t check the following u201C Existing Stock Checku201D( which does a serial number validation during delivery creation as well)

SPRO>Plant Maintenance and Customer Service>Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service>Technical Objects>Serial Number Management>Define Serial Number Profiles

If we check this option, the business requirement to do a valid serial number check does happen during delivery creation, however we cannot create new serial numbers during Purchase Order- GOODS RECEIPT.

QUESTION:

Can we have the system check the valid serial numbers from stock during delivery creation and serial number assignment.

And Also create new serial numbers during Purchase Order- Goods Receipt.

Hi

1.In std SAP its not possible to check the serail number during Delivery creation, through enhancement it can be done.

2.During GR for PO serial numbers can be created.
