Serial Numbers Blank Title 102613

Cindy -

We also have this issue and there really isn't an easy way I've found to do this in Vantage. If you know the parent serial number ahead of time, you can add an extra step to your material issue process and pull up Serial Number Maintenance and use a UD field or SNReference to store the FG S/N. The Serial Number Assignment screen is so different, I haven't begun to think about doing a customization there, but this would obviously be better, flow-wise, if you can figure it out.

I would be interested in hearing what you decide to do.

We do not want a batch of serialized parts to be linked to the batch of parts within that job. We need much more specific tracking information without setting up each job for one piece.

We are currently using Vantage 8.03.408B and are looking to implement bar scanning and serial numbers. We will be serial tracking around 10 component parts and the FG. If our job is for 50pcs of the FG, when we scan the serial numbers for each of the components, we want to match the one of each of the component SN to a specific FG SN. We want to be able to trace a specific component SN item to a specific FG SN item. Can that be done with the standard SN/Bar code system in Vantage, or is there another software compatible with Vantage that can handle that?

Any comments/suggestions would be great!

Thanks, Cindy
Cindy:

This is our process (we have Inventory Management module to be able to do this):

After job is engineered and release we assign a SN to the FGs. We assign the SN to the job materials at the receiving time ( if they are purchased) or during production (if they are subassemblies). Then we use serial matching to link these SN materials with the FGs.

Make sure you assign correctly ALL the serilaized components to the finished goods , otherwise you might have issues when closing the job.

I have been trying to test this option. I have no problem assigning the SN to the FG after the Job is set up as you stated. However, I am at a loss as to how to do the SN matching to link the SN components to the FGs. Would please let me where I can find that?

Thanks, Cindy

We are currently using Vantage 8.03.408B and are looking to implement bar scanning and serial numbers. We will be serial tracking around 10 component parts and the FG. If our job is for 50pcs of the FG, when we scan the serial numbers for each of the components, we want to match the one of each of the component SN to a specific FG SN. We want to be able to trace a specific component SN item to a specific FG SN item.

I have tried to test this, but I'm not sure if I did it correctly, but it didn't seem to work the way that I expected.

Does anyone use a third party package that integrates with Vantage that is more robust? Or, am I not using the standard package properly? We need to be able to release a job for 100 pieces. We want to be able to track part A (s/n 123) (along with 9 other parts that will be serialized) to a specific s/n in FG within the 100 pieces on the job. We do not want a batch of serialized parts to be linked to the batch of parts within that job. We need much more specific tracking information without setting up each job for one piece.

Does no one need to be able to trace a serialized component to finished good serial number? If so, how do you do in Vantage?

Do you need to know the specific S/N of each (or select) components used for a specific serialized parent part? Or can you settle for just knowing which serialized components were used during the build of a lot of serialized parent assemblies?

A medical products company I worked for found it sufficient to know just which serial or lot numbers of individual components were used for a specific production cycle. The end products were serialized, and our traceability was basically "S/N 1234 of final product 'A' was built during production cycle 2011-06. Production cycle 2011-06 used part 'B' from lots 'xyz', 'xyy', or 'xxz'." If we found a problem with one of those lots of part 'B', we'd just recall all the S/N of part 'A' that were built during production cycles using part 'B' from the suspect lots.

If you need true one-to-one traceabilty, my first thought is that you are going to have to build the parent assemblies one at a time. Each job would be making a qty of one of the parent parts.

Even if you can build a lot of assy's and figure out how to have the MRP system manage which S/N's were used where, I'd personally be concerned that building finished parts per job could lead to mistkes of which part was actually used where.

Hello,



I wonder if anyone has implemented Epicor HCM, Human Capital Management
module. It's a newer module, I hope there aren't a lot of challenges in
the implementation phase.
