Capture a unique item identifier

You can generate and capture unique item identifiers (UIIs) by specifying unique identification (UID) information about assets. Use the Capture UIIs action to perform these actions.

You can specify the UID in several ways. For example:

After you capture a unique item identifier, the UID information is stored with the associated asset record.

When you use the Receiving (Gv) application, perform the Receive Rotating Items action before you use the Capture UIIs action to ensure that the assets associated with the PO receipt exist.

To capture a unique item identifier:

  1. From the List tab, select the record that you want to capture a UII for.

  2. From the Select Action menu, select UIIs > Capture UIIs.

  3. To select an asset, select the Select Record check box.

  4. In the Mark field, specify the UID of the asset. If you are using a 2D compliant reader, click the Mark field to position the cursor in that field, and scan the asset with the 2D compliant reader.

  1. Click Capture to generate the UII from the UID information you specified in the Mark field. The UII information is shown in the read-only fields, the asset record is saved, and a UII Capture property transaction is created.
