Reserve Serial Numbers for Shop Order

Explanation

Use this activity to reserve a range of serial numbers for a specific shop order or shop order requisition. When reserved to a shop order requisition, the serial numbers are transferred to the shop order created from the requisition. The reserved serial numbers are used when the system receives parts into inventory.

To reserve serial numbers from:

Shop Order, Shop Orders, Shop Order Requisition, Shop Order Requisitions and Shop Floor Workbench, click Traceability and then Serial Number Reservations.
Production Line Management/Shop Orders, click Serial Reservation and then Serial Number Reservations.

In the Serial Number Reservations dialog:

To reserve non-consecutive serial numbers, add a new row and then manually type the numbers in the Serial No field for each serial number.
To reserve a serial number range, click Sequence. Add a new row and then specify the range in the From Serial No and To Serial No fields. To add a suffix and/or a prefix, enter the characters in the Prefix and Suffix fields.
If you want to generate a sequence with zeros added to the beginning of each serial number up to the total defined length. Enter the desired length in the Length field.

Note: If the inventory part has the structure effectively set to serial, only numeric values can be reserved as serial numbers. You cannot reserve serial numbers that already exist on the Part Serial page or that are reserved on another order.
