Serial/Lot Subtask of Requisition Lines

Use this subtask to enter and assign new serial and lot numbers to inventory parts that require serial and/or lot tracking.

If the serial number only is required, then the Lot Number column does not display. If just the lot number is required, then the Serial Number column does not display.

Use this subtask when the item being received must be serial and/or lot tracked as established on the Manage Parts and Manage Part Project Data screens. You can also have serial and lot information automatically assigned to inventory parts in the Auto-Assign group box on the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen in Inventory Controls.

Autoload Serial/Lot

Click this button to have Costpoint load serial/lot information for the selected rows.

Generate UID

Click this button to have Costpoint generate UIDs for the selected rows. Costpoint can generate UIDs if the following conditions are met:

  • The UID Prefix is populated on the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen.
  • The UID Type is UID1 or UID2.
  • The part in the selected row has a serial number.

When Costpoint generates UIDs, it removes any spaces and special characters in the part number and serial number that are not permitted in the UID. (Hyphens and slashes are permitted.) Costpoint does not generate a UID for a row that already has a UID. Costpoint displays an error if it cannot generate UIDs for all of the selected rows.

In addition to populating the UID field, Costpoint also populates the UID Issuing Agency and UID Enterprise Identifier fields with the values from the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen.
