Answer:
Dear HeinR,
it is possible to change it because an SD consultant did it years ago.
The reason for that is that we do not want to delete entries from table. We have already an external table created to store Serialnumbers with all the necessary information we need to create an Equipment to avoid having so much rubbish in SAP. We are talking about millions of Equipments in SAP per year and for usage we are talking about thousands.
Anyway I would prefer not to comment my request but to help me. This is more productive for me because I do not want to spend time on justifications. This is only a friendly hint for you in future. Every time when I see something like your comments in WEB I am getting angry. Everyone is in need to make comments on everything. Sorry but normally I do not have time for that.
Back to my issue.
Do you have any ideas how solve the problem.
Best regards
Andreas
Answer:
Andreas
Just to confirm your question.
Do you want two equipment masters with the equipment same number (EQUI-EQUNR)
OR
Two b]equipment masters[/b] with the same serial number?

Answer:
Dear PeteA,
sorry for the not exact given information:
I would like to create an existing Equipment with a Material-Serialnumber relation (TC: IQ01) a second time.
E.g.: 21031511 Equipment number
2YGH0001 Serialnumber
1412000 Material number
Existing since 2 years.
Because of certain reasons we do not want to delete entries from Equi/Ser01/OBJK and all the related Equi tables but we are in need to create the following Equipment:
E.g.: 2YGH0001 Equipment number
1412000 Materialnumber
Serialnumber is not used anymore becauae we set up Equipmentnumber like Serialnumber.
AT the moment the system tells me that the Serialnumber 2YGH0001 is already assigned to Equipment number 21031511.
Could you please help me.
Sunny evening and good luck for your job search.
Best regards
Andreas
Answer:
Andreas,
As far as I know it is not possible (within SAP standard) to link many serial numbers to one equipment
However, some possible solutions:
1. Sub-equipment. In this way you could link 21031511 to 2YGH0001
2. Use classification to enter second serial number
3. Add an additional field (and functionality) to the equipment via use of user-exit ITOB0001 (TCode SMOD)

Answer:
Dear PeteA.
I am very sorry but I think I did not explain well what I am really looking for.
We have an Equipmentnumber.
This Equipment number is linked to a Serialnumber and to a Materialnumber.
Because of certain reasons I would like to create another one Equipment with the same Serialnumber + Materialnumber as shown in the example but with a different Equipmentnumber than the first one.
As you mentioned in one of mails before, I would like to have two Equipment masters with one Serialnumber.
I hope my explanations are clear enough now
Best regards
Andreas

Answer:
It seems that it is possible to have a duplicate serial number
Have a look at TCode OIS1. Be careful here because the field you want is right at the end of the table. I had to make the first field (Cat) as small as possible to view it.
Let me know if it works

Answer:
Dear PeteA,
thnak you very much so far for your support. I saw already many times the table but I did not recognize that there is something behind Equipment description .
I tried to delte the entry. Not possible. I changed the Equipment category to blank. Nothing happened.
Any further ideas??
Best regards and nice evening
ANdreas.
Answer:
There are two serial number fields on the Equipment, SERNR and SERGE, if you use SERNR (Equipment Serial Number) then I believe it is not possible to have another equipment with the same serial number, however if you use SERGE (Manfacturer Serial Number) then duplicates are possible. However to switch on this functionality would involve changing configuration and some changes in any custom reports.
regards
Dave
Answer:
Andreas,
I have just checked the ABAP code for that field in TCode OIS1. It is hard-coded to value X (V_T399J_SD-SERUNI in include L0I08O01).
You should take a look at the following OSS Note (assuming 31I to 46C)
70362 Procedure for multiple serial numbers per material
