Configuration

Note

This configuration guide refers to PreBilt transactions beginning 'PB2_' and details the standard process without additional features or enhancements. You should copy these transactions with a different prefix to maintain a backup and protect the originals.

The guide displays the standard PreBilt screens and gives details of the structures in which the on screen fields can be found. Fields within these structures can be used to customise and enhance the screen. For instructions on how to use structures to find fields, please see Available data structures. For instructions on how to maintain the configuration elements in AMD, please see General configuration elements.

This configuration guide refers to transaction PB2_SERIAL_NUMBERS.

General configuration elements

Configuration element	Available structures
FE_APP	Frontend class to use in running the transaction. Reference to the platform specific frontend application that should be used to run the transaction. Included in the App Master Data file supplied for setting up the initial transactions.
ALLOW_CAPTURE	Toggle to allow the capture of serial numbers.
ALLOW_DISPLAY	Toggle to allow the display of serial numbers.
APP_TEXTS	Defines standard app text to be used in screen headers, buttons etc.
TRANS_INFO	Information about the transaction.

SERIAL_OVERRIDE

The SERIAL_OVERRIDE configuration allows PreBilt to override the Serial Number Usage settings defined in the SAP Serial Number Profile for a specific Profile and Procedure combination.

The following values are supported:

Value	Description
01	Serial numbers not required
02	Serial numbers optional
03	Serial numbers mandatory
04	Serial numbers mandatory and must already exist in SAP

When a matching Profile and Procedure combination is found, PreBilt uses the configured override value to determine how serial numbers are handled within the application.

Important: Serial Override should only be used to make serial number validation more restrictive than the underlying SAP configuration. SAP will continue to enforce its own serialisation requirements during posting. Configuring PreBilt with less restrictive rules than SAP may allow a user to complete a process successfully in PreBilt, but the final SAP posting may fail due to missing serial number information.

Typical use cases include making an optional serialisation process mandatory within PreBilt, or requiring entered serial numbers to already exist in SAP before a transaction can be completed.
