This field is hidden if serial tracking is not required.Use this subtask to enter and assign new serial and lot numbers (serial/lot assignment) or if you want to view the disposition of existing serial and lot numbers (serial/lot disposition). If only serial or lot tracking is required, the screen will have only one column (either Serial Number or Lot Number, as required). If both serial and lot tracking are required, both fields will be available.
This subtask is required only if serial/lot tracking is enabled (on the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen) and the part/project or part master requires serial/lot tracking (that is, the Serial and/or Lot check boxes are selected in the Tracking Required group box on the Manage Parts screen in Product Definition).

Enter, or click the Generate UID button (if available) to generate, a unique item identifier (UID). Hyphens (-) and slash (/) characters are permitted, but spaces and other punctuation are not.
UIDs are globally unique alphanumeric codes that allow the U.S. Department of Defense to track individual items. Costpoint checks for duplicate UIDs and provides either an explanatory warning or an error, depending upon specific conditions, if the UID already exists in Costpoint.
Costpoint can generate certain types of UIDs. Refer to the Generate UID button description for details.
Enter, or click to select, the code that represents the method used to create the UID code. This field loads from the UID Defaults group box of the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen. Costpoint generates UIDs for UID1 and UID2 types only. The UID types defined in Costpoint are:
ESN — Electronic Serial Number (Telecommunications Industry Association)
GIAI — EAN.UCC Global Individual Asset Identifier
GRAI — EAN.UCC Global Returnable Asset Identifier
OTHER — For UIDs without an assigned UID type
UID1 — Unique Identification Construct 1, Serialization within the Enterprise. If the Unique Across Parts serial tracking option is selected on the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen and you want Costpoint to generate UIDs, select this option. Because serial numbers are unique for all parts, the UID does not include the part number. The generated UID consists of the issuing agency, followed by the enterprise identifier and serial number.
UID2 — Unique Identification Construct 2, Serialization within the Original Part. If the Unique By Part serial tracking option is selected on the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen and you want Costpoint to generate UIDs, select this option. The UID includes the part number to make it unique. The generated UID consists of the issuing agency, followed by the UID enterprise identifier, part number, and serial number. The part revision number is not used.
VIN — Vehicle Identification Number
If you enter a UID type, but save without entering or generating a UID, the UID type is not saved.
Enter the issuing agency code, up to three alphanumeric characters, that identifies the agency that assigned the UID Enterprise Identifier. This field is required for Invoicing, Receipt, Acceptance and Property Transfer (iRAPT) if you select a UID Type of UID1 or UID2. Examples of issuing agency codes include:
LB — U.S. Department of Defense (DoDAAC)
UN — Dun & Bradstreet (DUNS)
D — Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE)
This field loads from the UID Defaults group box of the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen if you use the Generate UID button to create the UID. If you manually enter a UID, you must also manually enter the issuing agency associated with it. If you enter an issuing agency, but save without entering or generating a UID, the issuing agency is not saved.
Enter the unique enterprise identifier code, up to 13 alphanumeric characters, for the organization that is responsible for assigning the UID. This field is required for iRAPT if the UID Type is UID1 or UID2.
This field loads from the UID Defaults group box of the Serial/Lot Settings screen if you use the Generate UID button to create the UID.
These columns display if you defined field labels on the Manage Serial/Lot User-Defined Labels screen. When you create new serial/lot assignment, enter additional information for the user-defined fields.

Enter, or click to select, the date when the serial/lot part expires.

Click this button to load the Serial/Lot information associated with the part.
Click this button to automatically disposition all available serial lot numbers.
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 in the UID Defaults group box of 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 UID Defaults group box of the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen.
