Wrong serial number status and missing partner information Drop Shipment Process

[stefan_walter7]

Dear all,

according to SAP Note 412611, our request is not solved in SAP.

Does anyone have the same issue and a solution for it?

We think about writing a programm that runs in the background but maybe there is a better solution?

We use the standard SAP drop ship process with sales order entry,
purchase order requisition and purchase order.
When the (statistical) goods receipt is posted for a serialized item,
the equipment record gets created but the status is not set to "ECUS"
(at customer) but still shows available (AVLB).
In addition, the partner information is not filled as well.
This is causing trouble as we need to keep track of the serial number
as well as to prevent that a serial number is used again.

My opinion is that this is a standard functionality that should be solved by SAP but unfortunately it is not.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

no, unfortunately this is still an open issue on our side. I wonder why SAP is not providing any solution for it....

Does EHP4 and LOG_MM_SERNO help in this issue?

Hi Warren,

I just tried by activating that business profile and populating the serial number in Sales order:

1. It does not get copied to PO, so I manually put in PO

It got copied from PO to the GR document, however the issue still remains as the status is still AVLB.

Contact SAP OSS and if the situation is the same then you may need a developer who can develop a Z program with a BAPI for IQ02 and in the selection screen supply the range of serial numbers or upload a text file, etc.
