The effectivity unit to which the serialized item belongs.
Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000)This session lists the serialized items:
To define a serial number manually, complete the following steps:
Note You can manually enter serial codes for items even if the Serialized check box in the Items (tcibd0501m000) details session is cleared. However, you cannot select an item by zooming if that item is not a serialized item.
Effectivity Unit The effectivity unit to which the serialized item belongs. Item The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools
that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:
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. Serial Number The item's serial number. The item's serial number can be:
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. Allowed values 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 Warehousing. 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.
