Documentation

Definition

Level on which the serial number must be unique.

Use

If the indicator is b, then only the combination of the material- and serial number is unique.

If the indicator is 1, the serial number and equipment number are kept synchronous; that is, when master records are created, the system always sets the equipment number the same as the serial number.

In this way you can make the serial numbers unique on a client-wide scale. A prerequisite for this is that all material master records have the indicator set to 1.

Dependencies

This indicator is plant wide, that is, the setting applies to all the plants of the corresponding material master record.
