Hi,

Our customer doesn't want to capture actual serial number at the time of the Goods Receipt, use provisional serial number but replace with actual serial number at a later Goods Receipt processes.

Is this feasible?

Regards,

Bodik

Provisional Serial Number

Definition

Character string that the system automatically assigns to products requiring serial numbers (serial numbers at warehouse number level or in inventory management).

The provisional serial number must be replaced before the execution of certain process steps in the goods receipt process, by entering a valid serial number manually.

Use

Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) always requires the serial numbers at warehouse number level or in inventory management beforethe goods receipt posting. If you set the Prov SNs indicator in Customizing, EWM automatically assigns a provisional serial number, if you have not already entered a valid serial number. You replace this serial number with your own in a subsequent goods receipt process.

For more information about the prerequisites for using serial numbers and provisional serial numbers, see Using the Serial Number Requirement .

Structure

A provisional serial number always begins with $ and has 30 characters.

Integration

EWM only uses provisional serial numbers for serial numbers at warehouse number level or in inventory management.

Example

You unload a commercial truck and post the goods receipt.At this point, you do not want to specify any serial numbers.In Customizing, under Extended Warehouse Management → Master Data  → Product  → Define Serial Number Profiles  → Serial Numbers: Settings for Warehouse Number, you have set theProv.SNsindicator. EWM automatically assigns provisional serial numbers.You do not specify serial numbers until deconsolidation .
