Hello Experts,
Please advice if any one has come across this issue. I tried searching SDN and also SAP notes regarding the same but unable to get an answer. My client is on SAP ECC 6.0 and release 605.
We have an issue at my client. They sell filled gas to the customer in a cylinder. The cylinder is returned back to the client. These cylinders are tracked based on serial numbers which are manually created in the system using transaction IQ01.
1) Serial Numbers are manually created in the system using transaction IQ01 for a particular material. The serial number status is AVLB when created.
2) Quantity posting equal to the serial numbers created in done in the system, so that stock and serial numbers remain inconsistent. This set up is based on the serial number profile maintained in OIS2. The serial number status changes to ESTO.

3) The procedures included in the serial number profile are as below:

4) Sales order is created in the system to send the packaging material to the customer. Sales order type "OR"
5) Delivery is created with reference to sales order for the packing material.
6) Serial numbers are entered in the delivery before PGI.
7) The serial number status gets updated to "EDEL ESTO" - Assigned to delivery and in warehouse as soon as it is assigned to the delivery.
8) Once the picking is done, PGI is done for the delivery. When PGI is done, the system does not update the serial number status to "ECUS ESTO" - Delivered to customer, also the material document created does not contain the serial number which was goods issued.
- The outbound delivery does display the serial number but this does not get copied to the material document created after PGI.
- Material document created:

- When I click on item and GOTO-Serial Number, I get the following message "No serial number created for material"

- Serial Number status remains EDEL ESTO also special stock indicator does not get "V". Sales data does not get copied to the serial number.
Also serial number history ONLY displays the Outbound delivery number and does not display the material document created after PGI.
