Serialized Part Generation |
The Serialized Part Generation screen allows you to bulk generate sequential serialized part numbers for a specific location. Click the New button at the top of the screen to create a new generation of serialized parts. The generation of serial part numbers is based on the part ID, suffix, location ID, and serial number format that is specified on the New/Edit part pop in from the application.
Fields in the top section of the tab define the data displayed in the lower section.
Generation ID
Identifier of the generation currently selected in the grid or that you are defining. This field will automatically display the ID for a new generation.
Date and time entered
Identifies the date and time when the currently selected generation of serialized parts was created. This field will automatically display after a new generation has been saved.
Entered by
Identifies the person who created the generation of serialized part numbers. This field is a list box. The Employee ID displays to the right of the field when selected.
Data in the detail view area of window provides more information about serialized part generation.
Part ID
Identifier of the serialized part for which part numbers will be generated. This field defaults to the Part ID specified on the New/Edit Part pop in. The part's description displays to the right of the ID.
Part suffix
Number associated with the part in the Part ID field, which distinguishes it from other parts with the same part ID. This field defaults to the Part suffix specified on the New/Edit Part pop in.
Location ID
Identifier of location where the generated list of serialized part numbers will be applied. This field defaults to the Location ID specified on the New/Edit Part pop in. The location name displays to the right of the ID.
Serial number format
The format in which the serial numbers will be generated. This field defaults to the Serial number format specified on the New/Edit Part pop in.
If you are creating a new part generation, the Serial Number Format field is an editable field that tells the system how to number the parts. Be sure to enter your serial number format according to the number already in the system for that part, or, if this is a new serial format, you can enter the format as follows:
Prefix[SEQ:5]Suffix
The prefix and suffix can be anything you need, or you can use one and not the other, etc. however you would like to manage your part. The SEQ:# you enter is the number of digits you want as part of your serial number. If you generate six parts with sequence quantity of 5, and the starting number is 100, the following serialized numbers would be generated.
Prefix00100Suffix
Prefix00101Suffix
Prefix00102Suffix
Prefix00103Suffix
Prefix00104Suffix
Prefix00105Suffix
Starting number
The number where your serialized part numbers will start. The starting number must be equal to or greater than 0. This field is required.
Quantity
Quantity of serialized part numbers to be generated. Quantity must be greater than 0. This field is required.
Unit price
Unit price of the serialized part for which the part number list will be generated.
