Serial/Lot Info Subtask

Use this subtask to assign serial or lot number information to issued parts on non-inventory line types (for example, INT or DRP).

The item must be enabled for serial or lot tracking, and the Issue Qty (SO U/M) field on the main screen must be greater than zero (for a positive issue) or less than zero (for a negative issue) before you can access this subtask.

To activate serial or lot tracking on SO lines, you must select either the Serial or Lot check box (or both) on the Serial Lot Information tab of the Manage Parts screen in Product Definition.

Row Type

UID

Enter, or click the Generate UID button (if available) to generate, a unique item identifier (UID). Hyphen (-) and slash (/) characters are permitted, but spaces and other punctuation are not.

UIDs are globally unique alphanumeric codes that allow the United States (U.S.) Department of Defense to track individual items. Costpoint checks for duplicate UIDs and provides either an explanatory warning or an error if the UID already exists.

Costpoint can generate certain types of UIDs. Refer to the Generate UID button description for details.

UID Type

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 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.

UID Issuing Agency

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 defaults from 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.

UID Enterprise Identifier

Enter the unique enterprise identifier code 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 defaults from 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.

Serial/Lot User-Defined Labels 6 - 15

These columns display if you defined field labels on the Manage Serial/Lot User-Defined Labels screen.

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.
