Create Serial Numbers

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am using a bapi, BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE to create new serial numbers in the system. Following are the inputs that i am passing to the bapi.

wa_header-PSTNG_DATE = sy-datum.

wa_code-GM_CODE = '05'.

wa_item_create-material = matnr (The concerned material number).

wa_item_create-PLANT = plant

wa_item_create-MOVE_TYPE = '501'.

wa_item__create-ENTRY_QNT = '1'.

wa_item_create-ENTRY_UOM_ISO = 'EA'.

append wa_item_create to gt_item_create.

wa_serialnum-MATDOC_ITM = '0001'.

wa_serialnum-SERIALNO = 'ABCD-00044' (The required serial number to be created)

append wa_serialnum to gt_serialnum.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE'

EXPORTING

goodsmvt_header = wa_header

goodsmvt_code = gm_code

• TESTRUN = ' '

• GOODSMVT_REF_EWM =

• IMPORTING

• GOODSMVT_HEADRET =

• MATERIALDOCUMENT =

• MATDOCUMENTYEAR =

tables

goodsmvt_item = gt_item_create

GOODSMVT_SERIALNUMBER = gt_serialnum

return = gt_return

• GOODSMVT_SERV_PART_DATA =

• EXTENSIONIN =

.

After executing this FM, I get a screen which unfortunately i cant paste it here. This screen is same as the screen that appears in MIGO while creating serial numbers. To give you idea about the screen, it has following fields - Division, Device category, Serial Number,

manufacturer, Model number, Construct year,

Cert Year, Cert No. and many more.

As this screen appears, I tried to enter the relevant fields but the control does not move to next screen.Every time info message is displayed as "Function code cannot be selected.

Can anyone please help? Or can anyone suggest a FM to create serial numbers in the system through

program?

Hi Akshay,

Try this function module

NUMBER_GET_NEXT.(Used for Number range: Assigns next free number)

Thanks, but in our end I have to create a particular serial number, not the next available number. So can you please provide the necessary inputs?

hI,

Here is the simple way can you try this,,

Execute the transaction SNRO and define the number ranges,, call this in your program using f.m. get_number_next and pass the object if as '1' and object name as what you have used while creating number ranges. it will gives u the serial number.....

Thanks and Regards,
