You use the Assign / Mark UIIs action to generate unique item identifiers (UIIs) and UII marks. The system stores the unique identification (UID) with the associated asset record.
Before you can assign a UII to an asset, an appropriate UII template must exist. You create UII templates in the Organizations (Gv) application. The asset must also meet the following conditions:
It must belong to a government contract.
It must have an associated property record. Use the Add Property Record action from the Assets (Gv) application to create a property record for an asset.
It must require unique identification. Select the Required check box on the Property tab in the Assets (Gv) application for the asset to indicate that it requires unique identification.
It must not already have a UII assigned to it.
This action is available in several applications.
From the List tab, select the record that you want to assign a UII to.
From the Select Action menu, select UIIs > Assign / Mark UIIs.
To select an asset, select the Select Record check box.
Click View Details to display UII details for the selected asset.
In the UII Template field, specify the name of the UII template that you want to use, or click Select Value .
Click Assign to generate the UII. The UII information is displayed in the read-only fields, the asset record is saved, and a UII Assignment property transaction is created.
