Hi Maria,
Thanks for your reply. I had guessed as much what with a number of changes going back and forth with setting up the config.
So can I presume that in the event someone wants to create serialization for equipments, the serialization procedure (of the serial number profile) must necessarily be set to "02 - always with equipment" in order to avoid a serial number / equipment data mismatch (asynchronous). And that is the only way we can create scenario for refurbishment.
The system anyway allows assignment of serial number in equipment change mode but "insists" on creating a new serial number (disallowing assignment of an existing serial number to the equipment). In cases like this the serial numbers created (automatically) would remain unutilized and may create confusion.
And that, when you are "assigning" material number and serial number to an equipment you are also "in effect" creating an assignment between the material and serial number as well.
I would be grateful for your confirmation / clarification on the above.
Many thanks.
Best regards
