Once you set this status you can’t do anything with the serial number. ELOK: This is the same as marking the equipment for deletion.(Next post I’ll talk about how to fix things that get messed up). I’ve seen many instances where deletion of a delivery does not always reset this status. If you have an open delivery that has not been PGI’d or PGR’d, then you will see this status with either ECUS or ESTO (which will tell you if it’s an inbound or outbound delivery). EDEL: This means that it is on a delivery.it could be any plant or location, but it is now in stock, and you can no longer perform an inbound delivery, but you can do material movements on the serial number and you can do an outbound delivery.

ESTO: This means that the equipment is in stock at your facility.

You may also see this status combined with EDEL (which means that it is customer owned and on a delivery). The only thing you can do with this status is an inbound delivery or Lock it. If this status has been assigned, then you won’t be able to use it for outbound deliveries, or material movements (at least if you have stock checking turned on). ECUS: This means that the equipment is at the customer.Typically this status is assigned if you manually (or in mass) create the equipment record and it hasn’t been assigned to anything yet. If you have the status AVLB, then you use it in scenarios from or to the customer. This status is pretty much the same as saying I exist, but I don’t know where.

AVLB: This is the easiest one to deal with, but the least informative.Here’s the most common equipment status you’ll encounter: Like everything in SAP, there are a lot of possible status’ out there, but I’m going to concentrate on the common ones you will see, and the some of the headaches you may encounter because of them. Today I wanted to continue talking about the serial numbers, but today I want to focus on the system status’ you will encounter and what they mean to you. It will help you understand this coming post even better. If you haven’t checked out my SDN post on the serial number profile, I recommend it. I’ve come to realize that I haven’t talked much about a very important aspect of service management, that’s serial numbers.
