Replace Serial Number

Explanation

Use this activity to replace one serial part with another in the project delivery structure.

Prerequisites

The serial to be replaced has to be a part of the structure when you run the Gross Requirement Calculation (GRC) in order to calculate the required quantity for it. You must issue both the old an new serial from Inventory, either manually or via the shop order created for its parent part. Note that if you have AfterDeliverySerialTracking and not InventorySerialTracking for the part you can only set the serial number after it has been issued. The new item (with the relevant serial number) will have to be disconnected from the structure after running the GRC. Once disconnected, you are ready to replace the old serial number with the new serial number.

• The wanted replacement part must be a serial.
• The new serial part must exist.
• The new serial part must have a valid replacement part.
• The new serial part cannot be used in another structure.
• The status for the new serial part must be the same as that of the replaced part.
• Old serial part must have been issued
• New serial part must have been issued

System Effects

• The Location, Tag Number and Activity Sequence fields are set to null for the replaced serial.
