SERIAL NUMBER TRACEABILITY

In case of any complaint or recall issue from the customer, then we need to track what are all the materials used to manufacture the lot and trace the same.

In Batch management, we can track the raw material used for production through batch by using MB56 (Batch where used list) or In BMBC (BATCH cockpit); where as in serial number, there is no provision to track like batch management.

For serial number managed material we need to create additionally AS Built Configurations to track the serial number.

PROCESS

Once the production of the material is carried out

1) Create an Installed base – With reference to production data in COIB

Enter the material and serial number and click explode

After enter the component serial number and click transfer

The same way we can create  a link for dependent material

Enter the material and serial number and click explode

After entering serial number, click transfer

And click the save button.

Select the Create/Change as built in foreground

2)  Once the material is returned back from the customer due to any complaint

Go to  IH20 or IH22

Enter the finish material no and serial number & execute

You will find the installation base no.

With reference to installation base no, we can display the dependent material serial no linked with 300305

Go to IB53

And enter

We can find the all the serial no of the dependent materials which is assigned to material 300305 & serial no 2.
