As per my knowledge there is

As per my knowledge there is no direct relationship between the inventory Item serial numbers and assets in FA.

In FA while adding an asset you can enter a serial number but it s more for reporting usage and standard apps dont use it for any purpose.

Even I never come across of any business requirement of realting assets with serial number.

Yes in Enterprise Asset Mangement for creating a maintainence job we might use the serial number. So if your business requirement is that then when you create an asset in EAM then you use serial number and also can define that as an asset in FA

I agreeFA_MASS_ADDITIONS

I agree

FA_MASS_ADDITIONS gets its information from AP INVOICE HEADER and distribution but the serail number of item is store in lines (in R12 its their but i m yet to test it). So there is no way system can automatically populate the serial number in FA additions.

But I think if required a small customization can be done. we can write some Pre Mass addtion program to check if the line in mass addition does have any serial number attached to it and then we can populate it in interface before importing the asset

What about invoice lines

 Please confirm me.

Is it standard functionality or not that while matching invoice with receipt serial numbers get defaulted on invoice lines.

 

Right now till R12.1, itsnot

Right now till R12.1, itsnot working that way, though i guess it may work in future, as of now that field is unutilized as many other fields.

You can raise a Service Request in metalikn to clarify the ambiguity.
