| # The impact of serialized item conversion Converting non-serialized items and low volume serialized items to high volume serialized items can impact the lots and serials sessions linked to the following types of lines that list the items to be converted: Inbound order lines Receipt lines Receipt lines BOM ASN lines Outbound advice lines Shipment lines Non-serialized items If non-serialized items are converted to high volume serialized items, LN generates serial numbers in the lots and serials sessions linked to the types of lines on which the item to be converted is present. The quantity of serial numbers depends on the quantity listed for the entity. For example, if the staged quantity for a shipment line is 20, LN generates 20 serial numbers for the shipment line in the Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) session . The staged quantity for a shipment line is inserted in the Picked Quantity field. If a lot code is present in a lots and serials session, the lot-related line is split into separate lines with quantity one for the required serial numbers. If after splitting of a lot related line any serials are left, the remaining lines have no lot code. Outbound advice lines In the Outbound Advice Lots and Serials (whinh4126m000) session, LN generates the number of serial numbers that corresponds with the quantity listed in the Advised in Inventory Unit field of the outbound advice. However, If the items listed on the outbound advice are picked and shipment lines are present, the serials are not generated in the Outbound Advice Lots and Serials (whinh4126m000) session, but in the Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) session. Shipment lines In the Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) session, LN generates serial numbers. The number of serials corresponds with the quantity listed in the Picked Quantity field of the Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) session. ASN lines In the ASN Line Lots and Serials (whinh3105m000) session, LN generates serial numbers. The number of serial numbers that LN generates corresponds with the quantity listed in the Shipped Quantity in Inventory Unit field of the Shipment Notice - Lines (whinh3101m000) session. However, if the ASN line is linked to a receipt, the serials are not generated in the ASN Line Lots and Serials (whinh3105m000) session, but in the Receipt Line Lots and Serials (whinh3123m000) session, provided that serials must be registered for receipts. To enforce serial registry for receipts, select the Serial Number Entry During Receipt check box in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session or the Convert (to) Serialized Item (whltc5201m000) session. Receipt lines If the Serial Number Entry During Receipt check box is selected in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session or the Convert (to) Serialized Item (whltc5201m000) session, serial numbers are generated in the Receipt Line Lots and Serials (whinh3123m000) session. The number of serial numbers that LN generates corresponds with the quantity inserted in the Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) session. BOM receipt lines If the Serial Number Entry During Receipt check box is selected in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session or the Convert (to) Serialized Item (whltc5201m000) session, serial numbers are generated in the Receipt Line BOM Lots and Serials (whinh3119m000) session. The number of serial numbers that LN generates corresponds with the quantity inserted in the Receipt Line BOM (whinh3118m000) session. Quality If Quality is implemented, the serial numbers are copied to the Product Testing and Control module from the Inspection Lines (whinh2131m000) session. Low volume serialized items If low volume serialized items are converted to high volume serialized items, LN: generates serial numbers in the lots and serials sessions linked to the lines on which the item to be converted is present. Because the quantity for a low volume serialized item is always one on each type of line, the quantity of serial numbers generated for a lots and serials session is one. For example, if you convert low volume serialized item A and item A is present on a shipment line, in the Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) session, LN generates one serial number for this shipment line. Removes the serial numbers from the lines on which the item that you want to convert is present. For example, if you convert low volume serialized item A and item A is present on a shipment line, LN removes the serial number from the Serial Number field. LN removes the serial numbers from the following types of lines: Sales order lines Inbound order lines Receipt lines Receipt lines BOM ASN lines Outbound advice lines Shipment lines Inbound order lines For each inbound order line that lists a low volume item that you convert, one serial number is generated in the Inbound Order Line Lots and Serials (whinh2116m000) session, unless the inbound order line is linked to a receipt line. In that case, the serial number is generated in the Receipt Line Lots and Serials (whinh3123m000) session. In addition, LN removes the serial numbers from the inbound order line. Outbound advice lines For each outbound advice line that lists a low volume item that you convert, one serial number is generated in the Outbound Advice Lots and Serials (whinh4126m000) session, unless the item on the outbound advice line is picked. In that case, the serial number is generated in the Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) session. In addition, LN removes the serial numbers from the outbound advice line. Shipment lines For each shipment line that lists a low volume item that you convert, one serial number is generated in the Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) session. In addition, LN removes the serial numbers from the shipment line. Receipt lines For each receipt line that lists a low volume item that you convert, one serial number is generated in the Receipt Line Lots and Serials (whinh3123m000) session. In the Receipt Line Lots and Serials (whinh3123m000) session, the Rejected Quantity and Destroyed Quantity fields are filled if a quantity destroyed or a quantity rejected is present in the Inspection Lines (whinh2131m000) session. In addition, LN removes the serial numbers from the receipt line. BOM receipt lines For each BOM receipt line that lists a low volume item that you convert, one serial number is generated in the Receipt Line BOM Lots and Serials (whinh3119m000) session. In addition, LN removes the serial numbers from the BOM receipt line. Quality If Quality is implemented, the serial numbers are copied to the Product Testing and Control module from the Inspection Lines (whinh2131m000) session. Handling units For each handling unit that lists a low volume item that you convert, one serial number is generated in the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session. In addition, LN removes the serial numbers from the handling unit. Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) For the converted item, LN removes the serial numbers in the Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) session. Warehouse - Item - Stock Point Transactions (whinr1500s000) For the converted item, LN removes the serial numbers in the Warehouse - Item - Stock Point Transactions (whinr1500s000) session.
