Serialized Item 360 (tscfg2100m100)

Use this session to, have a complete visibility into serialized items used across the LN Service module. Visibility into a product life cycle of any serialized item enables you to understand efficiently the behavior and even plan actions/maintenance.

Note

This session is visible only if the Use Diagnostics check box is selected in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session.

Note

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.

Picture
The serialized item picture, defaulted from the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session. If the picture is not present in the Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000) session, the picture is defaulted from the Items (tcibd0501m000) session.
Serial Number
The serial number of the serialized item.
Description
The description or name of the code.
Search Argument
The search key defined for the item.
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 appears in this field.
Note

In the Configuration Management Parameters (tscfg0100m000) session, the Display by Alternate Serial Numbers check box determines how LN searches for the serialized items.

Installation group
The code that identifies the installation group, to which serialized item belongs.

This field is filled in automatically in the following cases:

  • If you link the serialized item to an Installation group in the Installations (tsbsc1110m000) session.
  • If you link the serialized item to a physical breakdown of which the top serialized item is already linked to an installation group.
Note

If you link a serialized item (that has a physical breakdown) to an Installation group, LN links all the serialized items in the physical breakdown to the same Installation group.

Creation Time
The time when the serialized item data is created into LN.
Owner
The sold-to business partner who owns the serialized item.
Note
  • If you link the top serialized item in a physical breakdown to an Installation group, LN enters the sold-to business partner of the installation group in this field and disables the field.
  • The serialized items related to the top serialized item have the same sold-to business partner.
  • If the Installation group that the top serialized item is linked to has its Ownership Department field populated (in the Installation Groups (tsbsc1100m000) dynamic session), this field will be empty and unavailable. To enable this field, clear the Ownership Department field in the Installation Groups (tsbsc1100m000) session.
