How You Manage Work Order Serials

If a work definition that's serial-tracked is referred in the work order, the preassigned serial numbers can be associated. You can transact serial components during work order execution for specific work order product serials. The following actions can be performed:

• Generate and associate serials: For the quantity specified, the application generates serial numbers for the work order product in inventory, and associates them to the work order.

• Manually associate serials: You can search and select serials that are already defined and associate them to the work order.

• Delete serials: You can select and delete a serial. This is applicable to serials that are in associated status.

Note: Work order serials is currently supported for only discrete manufacturing.
