Capture the Extended Attributes of Multiple Serial-Tracked and Serialized Kits in a VAS Station

About this task

You can confirm or complete a work order that includes more than one kit at a time if all the kits are serial-tracked and the components are serial-tracked, tag-tracked, or normal items.

The procedure to capture the extended attributes of multiple quantities of serial-tracked kits with serial-tracked, tag-tracked, or normal components is as follows:

Procedure

  1. In the Qty To Process field provided in the Quantity panel in the VAS Station screen, enter the number of serial-tracked kits you want to process.

    For more information about performing activities in the VAS Station screen, see Section 5.4, "Confirm Activities Included in the Work Order".

  2. Click Save.
  3. In the Serial Entry screen that is displayed, enter the serial number of the first serial-tracked kit in the Serial # field.
  4. If a tag-tracked or tag-controlled item is present, the Tag Entry screen is displayed. Enter the Batch #, Lot #, and so on as applicable, and click Close.
    Note: You can capture the tag attributes for a tag-controlled item only if the node confirming the work order is configured to capture the tag attributes in all the operations performed within the node. For more information about capturing the tag attributes, refer to the Configuring system-wide settings.
  5. In the Serial Entry screen that is displayed, you can either enter the serial numbers of the components of the first serial-tracked kit one after the other in the Serial # field, or click the Enter Serial Range button to enter the serial numbers of the start and end components.
    Note: For a serial-tracked or serialized item, if secondary serials are defined, but secondary information is not provided, the Enter Serial Range button is not displayed.

    For more information about the fields available in the Serial Entry screen, see Section 6.3.3.6, "Capturing an Item’s Extended Attributes", and Section 35.2, "Serial Entry".

    Note: If the first serial-tracked kit contains different types of components, perform step 5 for all the components.
  6. To confirm or complete the work order, repeat steps 3-6 for the remaining serial-tracked kits until the value in the Qty Completed field in the Quantity panel in the VAS Station screen equals the number of serial-tracked kits entered in step 1.
    Note: The Enter Serial Range button is available only for the serial-tracked items in a serial-tracked kit, and not for the serial-tracked kit.
