Assigning Serial Numbers to Work Order

After Finding the Work Order.  The following screen will appear, listing the Work Order and Build Qty.  The Add record action button also becomes available.

Depress the Add record action button.  Enter in the password.  Select Single Entry or Range method of assigning serial numbers by choosing the appropriate radio.

If you select Single Entry, the following screen will display, only allowing you to type in one Serial number at a time.

If you select Range, the following screen will display, allowing you to type in From and To Serial numbers. 

 
 
Note:  The system will force individual entry for serial numbers with prefixes or characters.  If user enters both character and number in one field, then it is hard to know which part (character or number) needs to be increased first. So the system cannot predict how the range is intended to increment: For Example if user enters a SN range of A101 to Z110. The system does not know how the user wants the range setup A101, B101, C101 or A101, B102, C103, etc.  (We allow 30 characters for a SN)

Depress the Save record action button and the range of numbers will populate on the left side of the screen.  As displayed below:  If you depress the Abandon changes action button the screen will abort and the serial numbers will not be saved.

Whether or not the system will allow you to enter duplicate serial numbers will depend on the method for tracking serial numbers chosen in System Setup.  At the beginning of a ManEx implementation the company must decide a method for tracking serial numbers.  Once this decision has been made and set up in Shop Floor Tracking Defaults it cannot be changed.
