Serial Reservation on Purchase Order Line

Explanation

Use this function to reserve a range of serial numbers for a specific purchase order.

Note: You cannot reserve serial numbers that already exist in the part serial catalog or that already are reserved on another order.

Prerequisites

• The purchase order line must have been entered and saved.
• The part must be a serial handled part, i.e., inventory serial tracking must have been activated in IFS/Part Catalog. The serial rule can be either Manual or Automatic.
• The demand on the purchase order line should not be for a customer order with direct delivery.
• If the part is connected to a serial lifecycle group, the serial number must not already exist for another part in the same group, except under the following conditions:
  • The Operational Status of the existing part serial is Renamed.
  • Automatic serial rename has been defined on the Serial Lifecycle Group page, where:
    •  From Part is the part for which the serial number currently exists.
    • To Part is the purchase order line part.
    • Process is set to Purchase Order Receipt.
  • The Order Code on the purchase order must be either 1 - NORMAL, or 5 - EXPRESS ORDER.

System Effects

This action will reserve a range of serial numbers for a specific purchase order. The reserved serial numbers then appear as default values in the receipt function. Any unused serial numbers are unreserved when the purchase order is closed. You can view all reserved serial numbers in Part Serial Reservations page.
