| # Serial Numbers (tcibd4101s000) Use this session to enter a serial number for the serialized item, or to display the generated serial numbers for serialized items. If the Unit Effective End Item check box is selected for the item in the Item - General (tcibd0101s000) session, you can assign the serialized item to an effectivity unit. Note After you save a serial number, you cannot change it. Related topics Overview of serialized items Item Code Identification code for an item (product, component, or part). The item code can consist of multiple fields or segments. Segmented item codes consist of a project-code segment and an item-base segment (the item code). You can define the item code segmentation in the Item Code Segmentation (tcibd0500m000) session. Properties Serial Number The item's serial number. The serial number can be: Generated by LN by using a mask. Manually entered. Lot A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods. If in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session the Serials in Inventory check box is selected for the serialized item, the lot code can be entered or modified as long as the serialized item is not yet present in the Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) session, or in the as-built structure defined in the Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000) and the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session. If the Serials in Inventory check box is cleared for the serialized item, the lot code can always be modified. However, the lot should be preferably updated by rework orders. Those rework orders can cause changes in the as-built structures, which leads also to updates in the serial tracking sessions in Warehouse Management. Note If in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session the Serials in Inventory check box is selected for the serialized item, you can also view the lot code in the Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) session. E-Item Revision The revision of the engineering item. Related topics Engineering data management summary Status The status of the serialized item. The status indicates whether the item is in use in Service, in Manufacturing, or is still free to be used. The statuses Initial, Used in As-Built, and Used in As-Maintained indicate the phases in the product life cycle of the serialized item.
