Install Serial

Explanation

This activity is used to install a serial into a serial structure. Before a serial can be installed in a serial structure, observe the following guidelines for a more accurate installation of the serial.

When a serial is installed in the structure, the current location will be cleared because the serial will be located at the same location as the top serial in the structure. If the serial to be installed exists in another structure or does not exist at all, a structure mismatch log entry will be created in the Serial Structure Mismatch Log page. A structure mismatch log will be created if a structure change is done in IFS/Work Order Management or IFS/Shop Order.

If access control is established, you can use only the serials to which you have access. Establishing access control is done by assigning a user to an access group defined in basic data. The access groups will be used to extend access to all or selected parts and serials in a structure. When a serial is installed in an existing structure position of the serial structure, it will receive the access rights from the parent serial in the structure. The serials below in the structure will also be updated with these access rights.

Depending on your workflow, you can perform this activity by clicking the option Perform Structure Change from one of the following pages.
