| Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) |  |
| Use this session to list and maintain details of serialized items. Note The serialized items that you enter in this session are also automatically entered in the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) session. You can link a serialized item to a cluster configuration in the Cluster - Lines (tsbsc1110m000) session. A tool item can be selected as a serialized item. If you set the status of a top serialized item to Active, you cannot delete its related physical breakdown.
Fields | Description
Item | The item code of the serialized item. In the details session you can: Enter the code of an item defined in the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session for the basis of your serialized item. Enter an undefined code to create a new item (not defined in the Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) session). Note You can leave this field empty if, in the Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session, the Empty Item Field Allowed check box is selected. For batch repair work orders, you can only include the serialized items with status set to Defective. The item must be of the type Serialized in the Inventory Planning module in Infor ERP LN Common and Infor ERP LN Service
Serial Number | The serial number of the serialized item. Note If you create a serial number and, in the Item - General (tcibd0101s000) session, the Serialized check box is selected, the mask of the associated item group is used. Otherwise, the default mask set in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session is used. The created number will not be shown in the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) session. If the Dummy Serial Number check box on the Item Control tab of the details session is selected, you can change the serial number by means of the Replace Dummy Serial Number (tscfg2210m700) session. Related topics To define a mask
Search Argument | The search key of the serialized item. Related topics To use search keys
Alternate Serial Number | If business partners use their own serial numbers as an alternative to the item's manufacturer's one, the business partner's alternative is given in this field. Note In the Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session, the Display by Alternate Serial Numbers check box determines how ERP LN browses when zooming to serialized items.
Cluster | The cluster to which the top item is linked. This field is automatically filled: If you link the serialized item to a cluster in the Cluster - Lines (tsbsc1110m000) session. If you link the serialized item to a physical breakdown of which the top serialized item is already linked to a cluster.

The serialized items that are related to the top serialized item have the same sold-to business partner. If the cluster that the top serialized item is linked to has its Ownership Department field filled (in the Clusters (tsbsc1100m000) dynamic session), this field wil be empty and disabled. If you want to enable this field, clear the Ownership Department field in the Clusters (tsbsc1100m000) session.

ERP LN uses the counter reading for input when you generate a maintenance plan. Refer to the Generate Maintenance Plan (tsspc2200m000) session. Note The measurement that is defined for the serialized item and the service-order activity must be the same.

Machines can only be defined for internal ownership (empty sold-to BP property). If Manufacturing is not implemented, this field is inactive. The machine must be linked to the department. Refer to the Machines (tirou0102m000) session.
Project | The project from which the serialized item is derived. When you copy project breakdown structures to a physical breakdown, the project code, as well as the original element or activity, is stored for each serialized item that is created. Note If you run the Copy Project Breakdown Structure (tscfg2210m200) session, the project is entered here. This can be used if the costs for service activities must be accounted to a project.

Only the status of the top most serialized item can be set. You can change the status of a range of clusters to Active with the Activate Cluster Configurations (tscfg2210m500) session, which will set all serialized items in those clusters to Active. If an item's status is: Startup, it can only be changed to Active. Active, it can only be changed to Revision. Revision, it can only be changed to Active. Note The following status are added for reverse logistics: To be removed: For items with little or no value. Defective: For items that can be repaired or refurbished Working condition: For items that are in working condition. To be recycled: For items that require special waste handling.

Cost Coverage | Specifies whether the item is covered by a service contract.
Service Contract | The code of the active service contract (if any) that covers the serialized item.

Note This field can only be filled if the Subcontractor field is filled. If the serialized item is derived from a service item, the blanket agreement is defaulted from that service item. This field will be filled in by default and cannot be modified if the serialized item is: Covered by a service contract. Part of the physical breakdown of a serialized item covered by a service contract. Part of a cluster whose top serialized item is covered by a service contract.
