Install base: How to update a serial Number which has Inventory Material Transactions
problem description:
Install base > quick search
Here is Installbase record, when I query from quick search
Rec# Item Item Instance Serial Number Status
1 300-7000-01 3000000 1000XXX-0538JQ0003 Return for Adv Exchange
2 300-7000-01 8000000 1000XXX-0538JQ0003- Return for Adv Exchange
3 300-7000-01 5000000 1000XXX-0538JQ0003-A Return for Adv Exchange
looking above data, first and third records are the legitimate serial numbers(correct according to the client specs), second record is not legitimate since it has a dash as suffix, we found there are many illegitimate serial Numbers exists, needs to be updated with the right serial Numbers which I analyzed in excel after pulling data from mtl_material_transactions , oe_order_lines_all , mtl_serial_numbers , mtl_system_items_b
basically these are all RMAs
I need to update the second record as 1094SUZ-0538JQ0003-B as per the guidelines, while updating I need to keep all the existing contracts, Warranty, what ever material transations it has, need to be same.
we have a package updating the serial numbers using IB API (csi_Item_Instance_Pub.update_item_instance) but it is updating only the records which has no serial numbers present for that instance, if there is a serial number already exists it is not working.
user define error msg "Serial Number 1094SUZ-0538JQ0003- has Inventory Material Transactions. This serial number cannot be used to update an existing Item Instance", but I need to update this anyway!! or am I missing something here, please advice me
below post looks like similar issue, talks about hard update, I have no clue, by doing that the updated serial number will have same transations, contracts, dates....attached to it like the previous serial number
708474
would be great If you guys help me out, really appreciated!!
unfortunately I couldn't find any solutoin in metalink for the existing serial number update
code for updating the serial number using IB API
x_msg_count := 0;
x_msg_data := '';
p_instance_rec.instance_id := rec.child_instance_id;
p_instance_rec.serial_number := rec.child_serial_number;
p_instance_rec.object_version_number := rec.child_object_number;
p_txn_rec.transaction_id := Fnd_Api.g_miss_num;
p_txn_rec.transaction_date := SYSDATE;
p_txn_rec.source_transaction_date := SYSDATE;
p_txn_rec.transaction_type_id := 1;
csi_Item_Instance_Pub.update_item_instance
(
p_api_version => 1.0,
p_commit => Fnd_Api.g_false,
p_init_msg_list => Fnd_Api.g_false,
p_validation_level => 1,
p_instance_rec => p_instance_rec,
p_ext_attrib_values_tbl => p_ext_attrib_values_tbl,
p_party_tbl => p_party_tbl,
p_account_tbl => p_account_tbl,
p_pricing_attrib_tbl => p_pricing_attrib_tbl,
p_org_assignments_tbl => p_org_assignments_tbl,
p_asset_assignment_tbl => p_asset_assignment_tbl,
p_txn_rec => p_txn_rec,
x_instance_id_lst => x_instance_id_lst,
x_return_status => x_return_status,
x_msg_count => x_msg_count,
x_msg_data => x_msg_data
);
Thanks
