I'd say that the linch pin of your problem is to not "it forces the user to
go into EACH equipment and maintain the corresponding 18+ serial number
manually". I don't think that you are going to be able to do that without
an enhancement. With one, its no big deal.
Of course, I don't know everything in SAP and therefore perhaps you find
one.
Good luck,
Neal

Subject: Be able to enter a Serial Number (Field SERNR) bigger than 18 characters (need 30)
Neal, I am looking for a field that shows up on picking selection screens like IH10. But that is not the point, I could use many different fields in the equipment master to store a number ... the concern is .... when the business is doing Goods Receipt against a PO item with quantity 100 for example, I want to allow the user to just scan/type those 100 serial numbers into the MIGO screen and process it. A text field as you suggest, does not come up for each serial number during GR .....obviously, the scanned/typed (more than 18 char.) serial number should also exist in the equipment master when you look at it individually in the cases of Inventory control reports ...again text fields are not easily included in queries without major formatting .... But the root of my question, is to try to find other solutions implemented at other sites where the 18 characters of the serial number was not enough and need to be a field available during picking
again...I already tried with Manuf. SN# and although it complies with my requirement, it forces the user to go into EACH equipment and maintain the corresponding 18+ serial number manually .... and I am trying to find an elegant solution to that before I go into an enhancement request (Trying to avoid re-inventing something maybe available in SAP in another way. |
