| # 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. 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 LN Common and 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 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. Note If you link a serialized item (that has a physical breakdown) to a cluster, LN links all the serialized items in the physical breakdown to the same cluster. Cluster The name or description of the cluster. Creation Time The time when the serialized item data is entered into LN. Sold-to B.P. The sold-to business partner who owns the serialized item. Note If you link the top serialized item in a physical breakdown to a cluster, LN enters the sold-to business partner of the cluster in this field and disables the field. 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 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 Department field in the Clusters (tsbsc1100m000) session. Sold-to Address The address of the sold-to business partner. Sold-to Address The address (code) of the sold-to business partner. Sold-to Contact The contact of the sold-to business partner.

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. Project Element/Activity The element or activity of the project from which the serialized item was derived (with the Copy Project Breakdown Structure (tscfg2210m200) session).

Top Serial Number The serial number of the topmost serialized item in this item's physical breakdown. Warehouse If the item's Actual Location is Warehouse, the (code of the) warehouse in which the item is located displays in this field. Note This is only true for items listed in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session that have either the Serial Tracking check box or the Serials in Inventory check box selected. Status The status of the serialized item's physical breakdown. Configuration Status Note If the serialized item is a child item in a physical breakdown, its status cannot be set. 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. Status Time The date on which the serialized item's status is set or changed. Note If the status of the topmost serialized item is set to Active, the Status and Status Time fields of the serialized items that constitute its physical breakdown are also updated. Actual Location Type The actual location type. The location type can be Configuration, Service department, In Transit, Warehouse- available, Warehouse-in-use and so on. Note A serialized item can be present in many places based on the life cycle and state in service. Actual Location The actual location. The actual location represents the entity of the actual location type, the code of the service department or warehouse and so on. Last Updated Time The date and time at which the records were most recently updated. Warranty The warranty (if any) that applies to the serialized item. Default value The warranty that is linked to the service item. Note The Installation Time field must be entered. Warranty The name or description of the warranty. Terms Expire On The expiry date of the warranty term that has the longest validity duration. For example, if a serialized item's warranty type is Supplier's Warranty and the serialized item's warranty contains the following warranty terms: Material X, duration 12 months. Labor Y, duration 6 months. The operational date is 01-01-2003. The Terms Expire On field of the serialized item displays: 01-01-2004 Repair Warranty Duration Defaulted from service-item data or enter the repair warranty duration on each of the serialized item concerned. Note LN Service considers Repair Warranty Duration defined by the user for applying the repair warranty coverage Related topics Repair Warranty Repair Warranty Duration The unit used to specify the repair warranty duration. 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. Service Contract The description or name of the service contract covering the serialized item. Subcontractor If the serialized item requires any subcontracted service and maintenance work, this subcontractor (buy-from BP) is responsible for carrying it out. Note The subcontractor must be an active buy-from business partner. If the serialized item is covered by a service contract, this field cannot not be modified. If the serialized item is derived from a service item, the subcontractor will be defaulted from that service item. Name The name of the subcontractor (buy-from BP). Ship-from BP The business partner who carries out the subcontracted service or maintenance work for the item. Typically used when the subcontractor (buy-from BP) has several branches, the ship-from BP is the branch that carries out the subcontracting work.

Name The name of the ship-from BP. Ship-from Address The address of the ship-from BP. Blanket Agreement A high level agreement that describes the terms and conditions applicable for the item for which service is provided by a third-party organization. After the blanket agreement is defined, the details will be provided to the organization for which items must be subcontracted. The blanket agreement can become the basis for a subcontract agreement. 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. Physical Breakdown Starts the Physical Breakdowns (tscfg2110m000) session, which you can use to maintain the physical breakdown of the selected item. Warranty Terms Starts the Warranty Coverage Terms (tsctm1120m500) session, which you can use to customize the warranty terms of the serialized items or clusters. Change Ownership Starts the Change Ownership of Serialized Item (tscfg2205m000) session, which you can use to change the ownership of the serialized item. Update Engineer and Location Address Use this option to replace or update engineer and location address. Starts the session Update Engineer and Location Address (tscfg2700m000). |
