There are two methods for associating serial numbers to jobs:

• Setting the Work in Process parameter Auto Associate Serial Numbers to On Job Release. Serial numbers are automatically generated and associated with a job when it is released. . See: Serial Parameters

• Using the Associate Serial Numbers window. This window is accessed from the Discrete Jobs window, and is enabled only for jobs under serialization. If you are creating a new job, you must first save your record in order to enter information on this window.

  The Associate Serial Numbers window enables you to generate and associate new or existing serial numbers to the job. You can also print labels for these serial numbers from this window.

   To associate serial number to jobs using the Associate Serial Numbers window:

1. Navigate to the Associate Serial Numbers window.

   The Job name, Job Quantity, and Assembly name field values default from the record accessed on the Discrete Jobs window.

   If there is a quantity of this job already associated to serial numbers - that quantity displays in the Qty Associated field, and those serial records display in the Associate Serial Numbers region.

   Association can be performed either by creating a new record, selecting from the list of values, or generating multiple serial numbers to a job.

2. To create a new serial number and associate to an assembly, enter a value in the Serial Number field.

   You can enter any value according to serial number uniqueness rules. See: Defining Revision, Lot, LPN Serial Parameters

3. You also have the option to select a serial number from a predefined list of values.

   See: Generating Serial Numbers.

4. To generate and associate serial numbers from this window, enter the number of serial numbers to generate in the Serial Number Qty to Generate/Associate field.

5. Choose Generate/Associate.

   The serial number values display in the Serial Number field. The number of serial numbers associated to this job displays in the Qty Associated field.

6. Check the Include in Serial Printing if you want to print labels for these records.

7. Save your work.

   Initially, the values in the Operation, Operation Code, Department, and Step fields are blank - and the Status field is Associated until you perform transactions.

   As you perform move transactions, the applicable values for those moves display Operation, Operation Code, Department, and Step fields. The Status field is In Progress while you are performing move transactions.

   When the assembly is completed, the value in the Status field changes to Complete.

   To cancel a serial number associated to a job:

1. Select the row for the record you want to disassociate.

2. Delete the entire row from the window.

   You can only disassociate or delete rows with a status of Associated.

   Label Printing for Serialized Parts:

Labels can be printed after serial numbers have been associated to a job. You can set up serial label printing either in Oracle Inventory, or Oracle Warehouse Management. This includes selecting serial number label types, formats, and assigning printers.

You can print labels from the Associate Serial Numbers window, or from the mobile device window.

To print serial number labels using the Associate Serial Numbers window

1. Enable the Include in Label Printing check box for the serial records you want to print.

   In the Print Labels region, you can enable all the serial number records for printing by choosing Select All. You can disable all selected records for printing by choosing Deselect All. .
