To register serial numbers in the high volume scenario
In the high volume scenario, serial numbers are registered for serialized items during a warehouse transaction such as a receipt or an issue, or during production or maintenance of an item.
The serial registration parameters of the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session determine the types of warehouse transaction for which registration of lot or serial numbers is required.
To register serial numbers, you generate or manually enter new serial numbers or link existing serial numbers to the serialized items.
It depends on the stage of the warehouse or production flow that you are in whether existing serial numbers are available. For example, when producing new serialized items, you must generate serial numbers. The generated serial numbers are allocated to the items on the production order and stored in Common, but not in Warehousing. When some of these items are issued for sale, you link the serial numbers to the issued items on the outbound advice or the shipment lines.
If you generate serial numbers, the required number of serial numbers is generated according to a user-defined mask. See To set up serialized items. If you manually enter a serial number, the serial number is not entered according to the mask format.
If applicable according to the serial registration parameters, you can generate or link serial numbers in the following sessions:
