Determine Serial Number Profiles

Description

In this step, you define serial number profiles and allocate them to equipment categories. The serial number profile* (table T377) is required in order to be able to flag objects of a material with serial numbers. The serial number profile controls the following:

The serialization transactions for the profile define the transactions for which serialization is possible.
Serial number usage defines whether serialization is mandatory or optional.
The equipment required function specifies whether a piece of equipment is required.
The serial number profile can be allocated to different transactions with different parameterization.
The equipment category distinguishes individual pieces of equipment* according to their usage.

Note

If you marked serial number allocation as mandatory in the delivery, goods issue for items which require serial numbers cannot be posted if it has not been assigned serial number.

Actions

Create a serial number profile by entering an alphanumeric key with a maximum of four characters as well as a description.
Choose Serialization transactions.
With Table view -> Other view , you reach the data screen on which you can define the serial number usage and equipment required.
In addition, specify whether the allocation of the serial number should be carried out mandatorily or optionally. If serial numbers are not required, they can be created during document processing.
Enter the equipment category for serial numbers.
