Costpoint Help

Create UID Print File

Use this screen to select unique item identification (UID) numbers, part numbers, and/or serial numbers for which you would like to print two-dimensional matrix UID labels, unit barcodes, and exterior labels.

Costpoint exports the selected UID-related information to a tilde-delimited text file, which you can use with third-party software to print the labels and barcodes.

UIDs are globally unique alphanumeric codes that allow the U.S. Department of Defense to track individual assets. You must establish serial numbers and UID information in before you can create the print file. Items that do not have UIDs are not included in the print file.

Note: If you use more than one selection ranges criteria (UID, Part/Rev, Serial Number) to select UID records, the UID's row in the SERIAL_LOT table must meet all of the conditions in order to be selected.

After you provide the values on this screen, use to begin processing. Costpoint saves the resulting print file with the name and location you specify in the Generate group box.
