About to implement serial numbers

Yahoo Archive
1
Is that for real? I'm already finding that I'm unable to generate
serial numbers in groups for all the product we have on the shelf so
that's unfortunate.

Secondly, having to go back and modify jobs repeatedly sounds even
worse not to mention the facility to generate the serial numbers
appears clunky. Nothing against our assembly employees, but I can
already see major problems with them trying to create and issue
serial numbers.

I'd like to simply create a batch of thousands of serial numbers
ahead of time for parts and have them pick them as they receive them
into inventory. Even that sounds like a mistake to be honest but I'm
trying to figure the best way to do this while reducing the potential
for major mistakes.

We're in 8.03.404 and we're about to implement serial numbers on a
already running system and wondering if anyone who has implemented and
running them has any feedback on their use.

I've looked on Epicor's answerbooks and haven't found anything useful.

Also.. couple pointed questions.

1. Can serial numbers be assigned to product already in
stock/inventory? I don't see any method of doing this.

2. How can sales people see what serial numbers were shipped on an
order? I see it's printed on the packing slip, but can't see any
tracker that shows what went.

Yes, but only for alphanumeric serial numbers, which is a change from .305.

Even in Serial Number Tracker? (Away from the office today...)

In my opinion, 8.03.404 serial number system is a step back. Biggest
problem we encounter is that the quantity of serial numbers generated must
be exactly the same as the job quantity and must be in sequential order. If
you have a job for 100 units and Serial numbers 006 and 025 do not pass and
final testing and must be re-worked, in order to ship the other 98 as a
partial on the job, you must change the job qty to 5 - generate serial
numbers 001-005, change the job qty to 18 - generate serial numbers
007-0024, then change the job qty again to 98 to generate serial numbers
0026-0100. When the other two are ready the job must be changed again to 99
for serial number 006, then to 100 for serial number 025. This is a real
pain.

We're in 8.03.404 and we're about to implement serial numbers on a
already running system and wondering if anyone who has implemented and
running them has any feedback on their use.

I've looked on Epicor's answerbooks and haven't found anything useful.

Also.. couple pointed questions.

1. Can serial numbers be assigned to product already in
stock/inventory? I don't see any method of doing this.

2. How can sales people see what serial numbers were shipped on an
order? I see it's printed on the packing slip, but can't see any
tracker that shows what went.
