• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BORGR450 - No serial numbers are maintained for item &1 ?

  The SAP error message BORGR450 indicates that there are no serial numbers maintained for a specific item in the system. This error typically occurs in scenarios where serial number management is required, such as in the sales order, delivery, or inventory management processes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The item in question is configured to require serial number tracking, but no serial numbers have been assigned to it.
  The item is a serialized material, and the system expects a serial number to be provided for transactions involving that item.
  The item may not have been properly set up in the material master to allow for serial number management.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BORGR450 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the item in question (transaction code MM03).
  Verify that the material is set up for serial number management. This can be found in the "Sales: General/Plant Data" or "Plant Data/Storage" views, depending on the configuration.
  
  
  
  Maintain Serial Numbers:
  
  If the item is indeed serialized, you need to assign serial numbers to the item. This can be done through:
  
  Transaction code IQ01 (Create Serial Number) to create a new serial number.
  Transaction code IQ02 (Change Serial Number) if you need to modify existing serial numbers.
  Transaction code IQ03 (Display Serial Number) to view existing serial numbers.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Transaction Context:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are performing (e.g., sales order creation, delivery, etc.) is appropriate for the item and that the serial number is required in that context.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you are responsible for system configuration, check the settings in the configuration for serial number management (transaction code SPRO).
  Ensure that the relevant settings for serial number management are correctly configured for the material type and plant.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on serial number management and the specific error message.
