hi
You use serial numbers to identify a product uniquely and to
provide yourself with an overview of which products you have sold
to which customers. The serial number is only unique in conjunction
with a product, for example, cell phone CELL PHONE
0000000012345 or ENGINE0000000012345.
For example, you can use serial numbers in the following
instances:
If a freight forwarder damages a pallet during transportation,
Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) can show you which
engines were on the palette and could now potentially be damaged.
You can tell if a partner reports a product as having been stolen,
but later sends it to you for maintenance.
If a customer returns a damaged engine, you can determine
whether it is actually the engine that you supplied them with.
Follow the following steps to set up serial no.:
1. OIS2 Determine Serial Number Profiles.
2. MM02 You need to add the above created Serial Number Profile
in the Material Master as .
3. IQ01 Create Serial Number

4. CO02 Assigning the Serial Number through Production Order,
Also Serial Number can be created automatically by clicking on
u201CCreate Serial Number Automaticallyu201D , Release the
Order
5. MB31 Do the GR for the above created Production Order.
6. Check in MMBE for serial Numbers

Hi
You can use this component to identify and differentiate between individual items of
material. This component therefore ideally supplements the material master record, which
may contain all data for describing and managing a piece of material, but which does not
enable you to differentiate between individual items of that material.
Example of Serial Numbers
You can use serial numbers in various business procedures within Logistics. In each case,
a transaction history is created for the individual serialized material item and its status is
maintained automatically.
Please go through link for more detailed information.

/frameset.htm
Process Flow
You create a serial number profile in Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer
Service.
You create a material master record and enter a serial number profile.
You create a batch master record for the material if it is to be managed in batches.
You can create serial number master records in advance if you want to have a pool of
serial numbers.
From a technical perspective, an "incomplete" equipment master record is created for this.
You can create configuration data for serial number master records.
You assign serial numbers to the material when business procedures take place (for
example, a goods receipt):
Either you assign manually serial number master records that you created in advance, or
The system assigns automatically new serial numbers and creates new serial number
master records for this
Configuration maintained under
SPRO->IMG-> Plant Maintenance and Customer Service-> Master Data in Plant
Maintenance and Customer Service-> Technical Objects-> Serial Number Management->
Define Serial Number Profiles
Maintain the serial number profile in Plant/ Storage data2 view.
