Use this activity to handle the Item Unique Identification (IUID) codes provided during purchase orders. When the IUID requirement is enabled for the serial tracked parts at Part IUID Setup or Project IUID Setup, it is mandatory to provide an IUID when receiving parts through purchase orders. In Receive with Serials/Lots dialog user can insert the IUIDs, if suppliers have provided them. If not, IUIDs can be generated using three options provided in Assign IUID dialog. When IUID is inserted, a new record in Part Serial IUID Information page is created and the inserted IUID code is stored in above page. The inserted IUID should always be unique within the application and has one to one relationship with part serial number. The inserted IUID code can be updated if required and changes will be tracked in Part Serial IUID History page.
In Following situations, the IUID value is automatically fetched at Receive with Serials/Lots dialog, if serial and IUID value are already exist in the system.
But, if the IUID is different, then user can add the new IUID and then it is required to enable the Approve IUID Differences option to receive the serials with different IUIDs.
The IUID requirement should have been enabled for the part in Part IUID Setup or Project IUID Setup page.
