Serial Number Assignment
Reference Contents > Serial Numbers > Serial Number Assignment
This window will open automatically when you process a SO Dispatch or Job Issue for parts that have been set to Required on Dispatch and Job issue, or a WO Kit Issue for kit parts that have been set to Required on WO kit issue, or a WO Receipt for an assembly or kit item that has been set to Required on WO receipt in the Product Serial Numbering Options.
The list on the left will show one line for each unit of part moved. For example, if a part has been given a dispatch quantity of 4, there will be 4 lines for that part. You should complete this list by making an assignment for each line. If serial number records have already been assigned to the Sales or Work Order, these will be provided pre-assigned.
WARNING: If the appropriate System Preferences control has been set, you will have to complete assignments for all parts listed before you can proceed with the dispatch. If the System Preference is not set, you will merely be warned.
The window provides a number of methods of assigning serial numbers to parts.
Firstly, you can select a part line and enter a serial number in the list column itself. Do not use the OK or enter key, as this will complete the total assignment process.
Secondly, you can create a list of serial numbers on the right. To do this, select a part line on the left hand list, then click on either of the List Unassigned for Part or List All for Selected Part buttons. In the former case, you will be able to see any existing assignments for the serial number records. To assign serial numbers from the resulting list, drag and drop multiple lines from this list to the assignment list. You can do this one-by-one or in a group. You cannot assign a serial number already assigned in this dispatch.
You can create a sequence of new serial number records for the quantity of dispatch. To do this first select the part on the left hand list. Then click on the Create New Serial Number Series for the Selected Part button. This opens the Serial Number Sequence Setup window.
NOTE: The quantity of records produced will be equal to the number of un-assigned part lines. As a result, if you only need to create some of the serial number records required, assign those you can first before attempting to create new ones.
WARNING: If you confirm the creation of serial numbers, the resulting records will be created immediately, regardless of whether the dispatch is finally processed.
To remove an assigned serial number, select the line and pause the mouse over the serial number column. It will then go into an edit box and you can delete the entry.
You can extend the linking of Serial Number records to parts that are not directly involved in the dispatch. This is particularly useful where you want to tie the serial numbers of sub-assemblies to particular dispatches but do not want to setup a serial number structure. To do this first select the part on the left hand list. Then click on the Add More Parts to the Line Item to Assign Serial Numbers button. It opens the Part Selection window. After selection of a part you can assign a serial number as before.
When a part has a serial number structure, all unassigned parts in the tree can be assigned by drag and drop in the same way as earlier.
