Use Split into Serials found when selecting a line on the Details tab on Receipt page. The quantity on the receipt line is displayed individually. When reserved serial numbers exist, or when you use the automatic serial rule, serial numbers are displayed in the Serial No column. If you use the manual serial rule and no reserved numbers exist, you must specify manually serial numbers in the Serial No column. Either enter the serial numbers directly in the column or use the sequence generator.
To be able to report the arrival with serial numbers, At receipt and issue and After delivery serial tracking must have been enabled in Part page. A serial rule, either automatic or manual must also be specified. Serial numbers can be reserved on the purchase order line. The reserved serial numbers are used first, and they are automatically displayed in the Serial No column. Automatically generated serial numbers are also automatically displayed in the Serial No column. When you specify the serial numbers manually, you can click Sequence and create a sequence of numbers, as well as add prefixes and suffixes (both numerical and alphanumerical).
Example: Prefix = ABC, Suffix = DEF
| From Serial No | To Serial No |
| 110 | 115 |
| 117 | |
| 120 | 122 |
This example would give ten serial numbers: ABC110DEF, ABC111DEF, ABC112DEF, ABC113DEF, ABC114DEF, ABC115DEF, ABC117DEF, ABC120DEF, ABC121DEF, ABC122DEF.
When serial tracking is activated, it is required to specify serial numbers during the arrival and receipt flow. If the part is serial tracked In inventory, it will always have a serial number in inventory and throughout the life cycle. If the part is serial tracked At receipt and issue but not serial tracked In inventory, the part will not have a serial number in inventory.
When splitting an arrival into serial numbers, you have the option of changing the operational condition of the serial to either Operational or Non Operational.
Serial numbers are assigned to the parts on the receipt line.
For serial handled inventory registered purchase parts with a Company Owned ownership type, postings are created for each serial number with the debit posting type M1 - Inventory, and the credit posting type M10 - Goods receipt with purchase order. However, postings are not created when receiving the parts that have either Customer Owned or Supplier Loaned ownership types.
For purchase order receipts, when indicating the serial numbers for parts that are owned by a customer for which part acquisition values are handled on serial level, the unit price (excluding any discount or additional cost) from the purchase order line will be used as automatically-created initial estimate part acquisition values, if not previously registered for the combinations of part number, customer and serial numbers.
If the serial-tracked parent part has been in inventory before, its persistent ownership is updated in both the Part Serial and the As Built Structure pages. Additionally, the persistent ownership of component material that is not Supplier Loaned changes to the new part ownership of the parent part.
If the Print Serviceability Tag option is enabled, the serviceability tag is printed for the serial. Serviceability tag refers to the tag used in the Aviation industry to clearly identify an uninstalled component or assembly and its current status. The serviceability status is automatically determined by the system based on the operational status and operational condition (current or new operational condition) of the serial.
Note: The default value of Print Serviceability Tag can be controlled by the value of the PRNT_SERVICE_TAG_ACS object property in System Definition/Object Property.
If you have selected a new operational condition, the operational condition of the serial is changed to the new value. If a serviceability tag is selected to be printed for the serial, the new operational condition will be used to determine the status in which the tag should be printed.
