| # To register serial numbers in the low volume scenario In the low volume scenario, registering serial numbers means that you allocate a serial number to the serialized item listed on a warehouse receipt. To register serial numbers for purchased serialized items that you receive in the warehouse, you can take one of the following steps in the Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) session: Manually enter a serial number in the Serial Number field. In the Serial Number field, zoom to the Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) session to select a serial number. Click Generate Serials on the toolbar of the Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) session to generate a serial number. As a result, the serial number is entered in the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) session and the Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) session. After you confirm the receipt, the serial number is linked to the item on the receipt line and stored in inventory. You can then view the item/serial number combination in the Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) session and the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) session. For manufactured serialized items that you receive in the warehouse, the serial number entered in Manufacturing is automatically filled on the receipt line. If you confirm and put away the receipt line, the item and the serial number is stored in inventory. To register serial numbers in Manufacturing for serialized items that you produce, see Serialized items in Manufacturing. For customer items received for repair or overhaul, the serial number is entered by the customer on the Maintenance Sales order. For issues from the warehouse, you are not required to register serial numbers, because LN allocates serial numbers from inventory based on the first in, first out or last in, first out outbound methods and updates the inventory accordingly. However, on the picking list and/or the outbound advice, you can change the serial number that LN allocated. To change the serial number on the outbound advice or the picking list is useful if, for example, the serial number generated by LN refers to an item located at the bottom of the stack. In such cases, you can replace this number by a serial number that refers to an item at the top of the stack that is easier to pick. Related topics To set up serialized items |
