We are trying to improve our serial number process and would like to begin using a generative mask for some of our parts, however in testing I don’t see a way to manually enter a serial number as well. This doesn’t happen often, but we do sometimes purchase a part instead of manufacturing it (same part number), and we would like to use the original manufacturers serial number.
The only way around this I see is to change the SN format of the part to alpha, receive it, then change back to the generative mask?
When you receipt the purchased parts in, it should ask for the serial number and at this point, if you select the ‘Create Serial Serial Number’ tab.
If the part is configured to use a mask with generated sequence, the serial number field on the create screen is pre-populated with the next sequential number and edit is disabled.
As far as I’m aware, yes and we do the same thing
