SERIAL NUMBER TRACEABILITY

In case of any complaint or recall issue from the customer, then we need to track what are all the materials used to manufacture the lot and trace the same. In Batch management, we can track the raw material used for production through batch by using MB56 (Batch where used list) or In BMBC (BATCH cockpit); where as in serial number, there is no provision to track like batch management. For serial number managed material we need to create additionally AS Built Configurations to track the serial number.

PROCESS

Once the production of the material is carried out 1) Create an Installed base With reference to production data in COIB

Enter the material and serial number and click explode

After enter the component serial number and click transfer

The same way we can create a link for dependent material

Enter the material and serial number and click explode

After entering serial number, click transfer

And click the save button.

Select the Create/Change as built in foreground

2) Once the material is returned back from the customer due to any complaint Go to IH20 or IH22

Enter the finish material no and serial number & execute

You will find the installation base no. With reference to installation base no, we can display the dependent material serial no linked with 300305 Go to IB53

And enter

We can find the all the serial no of the dependent materials which is assigned to material 300305 & serial no 2.

Dear Velayudam, In my scenario I am issuing serial number to another serial number. Suppose, my FG will have one serial number (different ) and my BOm components will have different serial numbers. So that I can track my FG material-SERNR and SFG-SERNR relation. This way I want to test. Any way I am using standard classification to capture this data but want to check whether this is useful than updating in the Equipment type class for SFG SERNR. Appreciated your suggestions.

Regards, Praveen.

Hi velayudam and other Gurus, I have tested this in my development of ECC 6.0 with different SERNR and getting COIB015 error. I do not see any error message for this. Need to test in 4.7. Velayudam in which version I were succeeded ? Regards, Praveen.
