.Use this subtask to enter serial/lot information, including Unique Identifications (UIDs), about the items built on this MO. If the build-to part is serial/lot tracked in any of its build-to part/projects in the Allocations subtask, you can use this screen to pre-record serial/lot numbers for the parts when they are finished. This is an optional screen, even if serial/lot tracking is required. You cannot access this screen if serial/lot tracking is not required. Serial/lot tracking is determined on the Manage Parts screen.
The addition of UID information to this subtask is dependent upon the UID fields being populated on the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen in Costpoint Inventory. If the Enterprise Identifier, UID Prefix, Issuing Agency Code and UID Type are blank, the MO UID information will not auto-populate.
This column displays the manufacturing order ID from the main screen.
This column displays the MO Status as Planned, Firm Planned, Released, In-Shop, Completed, or Closed.
This field displays the part ID for which the MO was created.
This field displays the revision level for the build part.
This field displays the quantity of the part being built with this MO.
To enter a new line, click .
Enter the internal serial number for the added part. This field does not display if serial tracking is not required.
Enter the internal lot number for the added parts. This field does display if lot tracking is not required.
Enter the quantity of the added part assigned to this lot number. If serial tracking is required, this field displays 1.
This field displays the shelf life expiration date for the added part. The shelf life expiration date is entered in Enter Manufacturing Order Reliefs.
Enter any notes applicable to the added part.
These columns display if you defined field labels on the Manage Serial/Lot User Defined Labels screen.
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 defaults from 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 UID prefix followed by the 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 UID prefix, followed by part number, and then the 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 unique enterprise identifier assigned by the issuing government agency to the manufacturer, vendor, contractor, and so on, that is responsible for creating the unique identifier. This field is required for iRAPT if the UID Type is UID1 or UID2.
This field defaults from the UID Defaults group box on 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 enterprise identifier associated with it. If you enter an enterprise identifier, but save without entering or generating a UID, the enterprise identifier is not saved.
Enter the code associated with the issuing agency, which is an organization responsible for assigning a unique identifier to an enterprise. This field is required for 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 defaults from the UID Defaults group box on 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.
Click this button to load the default serial/lot information for new lines. This process does not overwrite manually entered data.
Click this button to auto-assign serial/lot numbers for make parts based on your selections on the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen. This button is not available if the following scenarios are true:
Auto-assigning is not enabled for serial or lot.
Serial/lot rows already exist.
Completed Quantity field value is greater than 0.
You selected Customer Repair or Rework as the MO type on the main screen.
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 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 UID Defaults group box on the Configure Serial/Lot Settings screen.
