How to Configure Serial Number Profile for Mandatory GR and Optional GI

Hello,

I'm trying to configure a Serial Number Profile to meet the following requirements:

  1. During goods receipt (GR) for purchase orders, it should be mandatory to enter a serial number.
  2. During goods issue (GI) for production orders (e.g., issuing components to a production order via MIGO), entering a serial number should be optional.

In particular, I would like to configure the system so that serial number entry is required for purchasing-related movements but optional for production-related movements.

Could anyone guide me on how to set up the Serializing Procedure in the Serial Number Profile to achieve this?

Best regards.

Hello hslee1,

Changing the serial number usage (mandatory/optional/...), by movement type is on the roadmap for Q1/2025 for S/4HANA Public Cloud, as you can see here: https://roadmaps.sap.com/board?BC=901B0ED1A0641ED9B2C72B7AC3CF60E6&range=CURRENT-LAST#;INNO=7FECA365... 

After this is released, you can e. g. set procedure MMSL (Maintain goods receipt and issue doc.) in your serial number profile to optional and just set goods movement for purchase order related entries to mandatory in the new configuration UI.

I hope this fulfils your requirement.

Best,
Alex
