I am following the below step:
 1. Serial number profile is created.
 2. Assigned sales order procedure (SDAU) and delivery proceedure to serial number (SDLS).
 3. Profile is assigned in material master record
 4. Assume there is a stock of 10 quantity without serial number (you can do 561 for initial stock posting )
 5. IQ01 created serial number for all the 10 stock.
 6. VA01 created sales order for one quantiy
 7. Assigned one serial number for this material
 8. Sales order is saved and delivery and PGI is done for the same serial number and material
 9.  MMBE stock is reduced with one quantity 
10. MB51 if check the material document in serial number TAB i can see a message that "The material is managed in serial numbers" 

So now my question is why I can't see serial number in material document? How can able to see that? what is the configuration required?

Whatever settings you have maintained is correct. I shall share as to what happens in our business process.

VA01- Sales order
Vl03 - Delivery
LT03- Transfer Order

After transfer order there is a transaction used ZL02 where in the delivery number is entered and on executing, a screen pops up asking for the serial number. Here we enter the serial number maintained for the material and is got from MMBE. And the serial number is captured for the material.

Pls check for the serial numbers in MMBE and I suppose a program needs to be created by an ABAPer for the serial number to be fetched and a transaction to be 
created and associated with the program.

I need Serial Number Profile tables as soon as possible.

IQ09 - Check Material Serial No

In outbound delivery, post goods issue failed because of serial number, but this serial number was not assigned to any other material.

Check the serial number and material with IQ03. Serial number is material specific. 

When I looked at the IQ03, for the serial no "#162559019S.", I realized that the status is still remain as EDEL and ESTO. 
Supposingly, the status should only has ESTO. Is there a way to remove the status "EDEL"?

Go to IQ02, do the following steps:

1. Go to edit -> Special serial number function -> manual transaction
2. Choose "to stock"

The status should be ESTO now. Try it.

EDEL status shows that it is assigned to a delivery. Change it by going into IQ02 --> Edit --> Sp.Serial number Functions --> Manual Transaction and make it 'to stock'

If the serial number has status EDEL ESTO that means the serial number is assigned to the Delivery, reversal PGI has not been completely performed.

Once you do that then only this will come as ESTO.

Please check your SD document flow if all the documents have been reversed.

Click the Status of Serial Number Master record.

- ESTO status In the warehouse. means .. open..
- EDEL (Assigned in delivery note). According to this status, transaction 'Goods issues' is not allowed.
