Serial Number in Sales Order Processing Using BAPIs
Serial Number in Sales Order Processing Using BAPIs
Symptom
You want to use serial number functionality in BAPIs belonging to SD sales order processing, e.g.
BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2
Environment
Sales And Distribution (SD)
Logistics Execution (LE)
SAP ERP Central Component
SAP ERP
SAP Enhancement package for SAP ERP
SAP Enhancement package for SAP ERP, version for SAP HANA
SAP S/4HANA
Cause
BAPIs have restricted usability compared to online transactions e.g. VA01. For further information please see SAP note:
414058
Resolution
Serial number functionality cannot be used together with BAPIs belonging to sales order processing. It is a missing
functionality in standard SAP systems.
A possible workaround could be the use of the function module SERNR_ADD_TO_AU. This function module could be used
to add serial number to existing sales order items. However, this function module is not released for customers, therefore
restrictions of SAP note 109533 apply:
"SAP does not support problems that occur if the customer used
non-released function modules.
Of course, you can contact SAP AG Consulting for assistance with regard
to the above."
