Serial Number Profile Assignment To MMR
1.Profl ./Profile Text: The profile is displayed in the field Profile and the description is
displayed in the next field, Profile Text.
2.ExistReq:The check box when selected, ensures that the serial number master record for
the individual unit should exist before it can be used in the delivery or in any other business
transaction. With this setting, it won’t be possible for the business transaction to
automatically create the serial number master record.
3.Category:The Category field controls the link between the serial number profile and the
equipment category.
4.Stock check:This field controls whether the system should perform a stock check when the
serial number is assigned and controls whether to throw a warning or error if a stock
discrepancy is found. Choose 1 to perform a stock check with a warning for stock
discrepancies, choose 2 to perform a stock check with an error for stock differences, and
leave the field blank to not perform the stock check at all.
