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.
- Enable the option Perform Rename if the serial should be renamed. This option cannot be
enabled if the Renamed Performed option is already enabled.
- Enable the Undo Rename option if the rename was done by mistake and needs to be reversed.
This option can only be enabled if the Renamed Performed option is enabled.
- Enable the No Rename Needed option if the serial should not be renamed after modification
compliance. This option cannot be enabled if the Perform Rename or the Rename
Performed option is already enabled.
- The Rename Performed option indicates if the serial has already been renamed. This option
cannot be manually updated.
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.
- Before opening the Correct Structure Positions dialog, all structure
positions that do not exist in the template structure of the newly renamed serial should be removed
manually.
- Next, within the Correct Structure Positions dialog, any invalid positions and
invalid parts in the positions that need attention will be highlighted.
- The incorrect positions can be corrected by using the List of Values in the list.
- Once the corrections are made, click OK to finalize the correction of the 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.
System Effects
- If the option to perform the rename is selected, the part number of the serial will be changed.
- If the no rename needed option is selected, the serial will not be renamed when the modification event is
finished.
- If the undo rename option is selected, the serial will be reversed back to its origin defined on the
modification.
- Remaining serials that have not been renamed through this activity, will be renamed when the modification
event is finished.
