Perform Rename of Serials

Explanation

This activity is used to rename one or several serials when working on a work order created for a modification event leading to a part identity change. The activity can be performed several times until all serials have been renamed. You can also indicate if a rename should not be performed for a specific serial or you can reverse a rename which has been incorrectly performed.

To perform this activity, select the option Perform Rename of Serials from the Execute Work Task page to open the Perform Rename of Serials dialog.

After performing the rename, use the Correct Structure Positions functionality in the Manage Serial Structure page to correct if there are any incorrect structure positions.   

Note that there may be scenarios not covered by the Correct Structure Positions functionality, such as swapping parts between two structure positions. In such cases, manual intervention is required, by using the Remove Serial and Install Serial functionality in the Perform Structure Change Assistant.

Prerequisites

A work order with work tasks connected to a rename modification event must exist.
