When processing transactions, example Goods Receipt, Physical Inventory, etc. You don't just type in material and quantity but also the serial numbers of the individual items. Serial numbers is a unique number that identify an item.
1. Question: In which business transactions can serial numbers be included?
Answer: See 42232 and 518060/question5.
2. Question: What should be done when differences exist between the existing serial numbers and the existing stock?
Answer: In case the stock is correct and the number of serial numbers is incorrect, you can clear this difference as follows:
Procedure up to and including Release 4.6
The stock displayed in the stock overview is smaller than the number of serial numbers that exist for this material in the system. (stock < serial numbers) To repair the serial numbers, you can
1. temporarily set the serial number profile on 'optional' serialization (Customizing Transaction OIS2).
2. Afterwards, receipt into the stock is then tio be posted without serial numbers.
3. After that, the serial number profile should again be set on 'must'.
4. The system now books out the booked in material with the serial numbers.
2. Afterwards, receipt into the stock is then tio be posted without serial numbers.
3. After that, the serial number profile should again be set on 'must'.
4. The system now books out the booked in material with the serial numbers.
The stock displayed in the stock overview is larger than the number of serial numbers that exist for this material in the system. (Stock > Serial numbers) To repair the serial numbers, you can
1. temporarily set the serial number profile on 'optional' serialization (Customizing Transaction OIS2).
2. After that, you must post an issue without serial numbers.
3. After that, the serial number profile should again be set on 'must'.

2. After that, you must post an issue without serial numbers.
3. After that, the serial number profile should again be set on 'must'.
4. Now, the cleared material with the serial numbers is posted.
With both correction options it should be ensured that no other postings occur with these materials during the correction, so that no new data inconsistencies are generated.
Procedure as of SAP 4.6
As of Release 4.6, it is possible to carry out a physical inventory in inventory management for materials that require a serial number.
If the number of serial numbers is correct and you suspect that the stock is incorrect, it is a data inconsistency. The procedure for this case is described in the FAQ 520010 (Inconsistencies in inventory management).
3. Question: Why are the serial numbers not assigned sequentially during the automatic creation of serial numbers when the first serial number is specified?
Answer: In order to allow the automatic serial number assignment, the system records the highest assigned (purely numerical) serial number for each material in a separate table (MASE). During the automatic serial number assignment, a select is carried out against table MASE (to find this highest serial number) and the system starts simply with this highest already assigned number.
I'm trying to figure out how to perform the task in object.I want to get serial numbers from range A (internal) when i perform GR (101, 501) in storage location X. After quality checks, materials are transfered to storage location B via 311. After the 311 movement i want to change serials and get the new ones from another range (external)
I already defined ranges and i'm already posting GR with serials from range A. I have to figure out how to tell to SAP to get serials from the second range after posting the 311.
Thank you very much for your advice

Serial numbers are assigned in popup dialog during goods movement if they are mandatory, otherwise you should go to special dialog Goto->Serial Number. Assignment of external numbers could be done in this way:
- Go to SPRO->SAP Customizing Implementation Guide->Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Technical Objects->Serial Number Management and define profile with
MMSL
procedure or use existing one - Assign some equipment category (or create your custom one in OIET transaction) to your Serial Number profile
- Go to SPRO->SAP Customizing Implementation Guide->Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Master Data in Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Technical Objects->Equipment->Equipment Categories->Define Number Ranges and assign your previously created number range to your equipment category
- [optional] Also you can go to
S_ALR_87000304
tcode and assign default equipment category which will be used for serial number assignment if system cannot find equipment category from the profile.
