Serialized items: Picking

What you can do

Pick a serialized item from a storage device on the Shop Floor Interface. After you choose the quantity, the Shop Floor Interface asks which serial number you take, so every unit is tracked on its own from that moment.

The example is item 5924287, Cartridge for CoroBore® XL, set up in Serialized items: Setup with the serial numbers CB-26-001 to CB-26-003.

Before you start

• A Shop Floor Interface login that may pick. An operator sees Pick and Return on the main menu.
• The item is serialized and assigned to this device, with a serial number for every unit, see Serialized items: Setup.
• Only instances that may be picked are offered. An instance that is For service or In service is locked until it has been serviced, see Serialized items: Service.
