Selection (whltc3600m200)

Use this session to select the item, lot, or serial number to be viewed.

The selected transactions can be displayed in the Tracking (whltc3800m000) or the Item, Lot and Serial Transactions (whltc3510m000) session, or both.

These options determine the information that is displayed in the Tracking (whltc3800m000) session for the selected item, lot, or serial number combination:

 

Handling Unit

A uniquely identifiable physical unit that consists of packaging and contents. A handling unit can contain items. A handling unit has a structure of packaging materials used to pack items, or is a part of such a structure.

A handling unit includes the following attributes:

  • Identification code
  • Packaging item (optional)
  • Quantity of packaging items (optional)

If you link an item to a handling unit, the item is packed by means of the handling unit. The packaging item refers to the type of container or other packing material of which the handling unit consists. For example, by defining a packaging item such as Wooden Crate for a handling unit, you specify that the handling unit is a wooden crate.

Receipt Line

The physical acceptance of an item into a warehouse. A receipt registers: received quantity, receipt date, packing-slip data, inspection data, and so on.

Receipt Line

The receipt line number.

You can select a confirmed receipt line of the receipt specified in the Receipt field.

Shipment Line

All goods that are transported to a specific address on a specific date and time by using a specific route. An identifiable part of a load.

You can select a confirmed shipment line of the shipment specified in the Shipment field.

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:

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

A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods.

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.

Serial 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

Serial item status

E-item Revision

The number of the engineering item revision.

Effectivity Unit

A reference number, for example a sales order line or a project deliverable line, that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item.

Actual Location

A distinct place in a warehouse where goods are stored.

A warehouse can be divided into locations to manage the available space, and to locate the stored goods. Storage conditions and blocks can be applied to individual locations.

Inventory Unit

The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.

The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.

Business Partner

The business partner from whom the lot or serialized item is bought.

Partner's Serial Number

The serial number as identified by your buy-from business partner.
