The originating order is the order that caused the receipt or the issue of the serialized item.

 

Item

In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)
Serial Number

The unique identification of a single physical item. LN uses a mask to generate the serial number. The serial number can consist of multiple data segments that represent, for example, a date, model and color information, sequence number, and so on.

Serial numbers can be generated for items and for tools.

Status

The status of the serialized item at the moment the serial tracking record was created. The serial statuses apply to low volume serialized items. Possible values

Current Status

The actual status of the serialized item. The serial statuses apply to low volume serialized items. Possible values

Destination Order Origin

The origin of the order by means of which the item and serial number were issued. The destination order origin indicates the destination of the serialized item, for example, that the serialized item is sold to a customer or issued to the shop floor for production or maintenance.

Order Origin

The origin of the order from which the serialized item originates. The order origin indicates the origin of the serialized item, for example, that the serialized item is bought or produced.

Order

The order from which the serialized item originates.

Line

The order line of the order from which the serialized item originates.

Receipt

If this check box is selected, the selected order line is inbound. If this check box is cleared, the selected order line is outbound.

Quantity

The serialized items are shown by serial number, that is, individually, in this session.

QuantityDescription

Transaction Date

The date on which the serialized item is received in the warehouse or issued from the warehouse.

Warehouse

The warehouse from which the item is received or issued.

Business Partner

Usually a customer's purchase department, the business partner who orders goods or services from your organization, that owns the configurations you maintain, or for whom you perform a project.

The agreement with the sold-to business partner can include the following:

  • Default price and discount agreements
  • Sales order defaults
  • Delivery terms
  • The related ship-to and invoice-to business partner
Direct Delivery

LN selects the check box to indicate that the buy-from business partner delivers the goods directly to the sold-to business partner. The goods are not received/issued from a warehouse.

In case of direct delivery, you can record the lot and serial numbers in the lot and serial set of the purchase receipt. You can enter the lots and serials information when you confirm a purchase receipt for direct delivery. You must enter the lot and serial information for the following:

  • Receipt transaction of the purchase order line

  • Linked issue transaction of the sales order line or service order line
