Reserve Serial Numbers for Shop Order
Explanation
Use this activity to reserve a range of serial numbers for a specific shop order or shop order requisition. When
reserved to a shop order requisition, the serial numbers are transferred to the shop order created from the
requisition. The reserved serial numbers are used when the system receives parts into inventory.
Serial numbers are reserved using the Serial Number Reservations dialog. To access the dialog
from:
- Shop Order, Shop Orders, Shop Order Requisition, Shop Order
Requisitions and Shop Floor Workbench, click Traceability and then Serial Number
Reservations.
- Production Line Management/Shop Orders, click Serial Reservation and then Serial
Number Reservations.
In the Serial Number Reservations dialog:
- To reserve non-consecutive serial numbers, add a new line and then manually type the numbers in the Serial
No field for each serial number.
- To reserve a serial number range, click Sequence. Add a new line and then specify the range in the
From Serial No and To Serial No fields. To add a suffix and/or a prefix, enter the characters in
the Prefix and Suffix fields. If you want to generate a sequence with zeros added to the beginning
of each serial number up to the total defined length, enter the desired length in the Length field.
Note: If the inventory part has the structure effectively set to serial, only numeric
values can be reserved as serial numbers. You cannot reserve serial numbers that already exist on the Part
Serial page or that are reserved on another order.
