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 an Installation group in the Installation (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.
  • The Replace Serial Number command that starts the Replace Serial Number (tscfg2210m800) session allows you to replace the old serial number with the new serial number, is displayed only when you select the Configuration Status Usage checkbox in the Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session.
  • The fields on the Life Cycle tab are visible only if the Physical Breakdown Changes check box is selected in the Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session.

 

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 LN Common and Infor LN Service

Serial Number

Note
  • If you create a serial number and, in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) 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.
