Questions and Answers

What is the primary concern with the current data for serial inventory management?

Too much data

What is the primary issue the user is facing in the scenario where inventory exists but serial is not updated?

The user is unable to include serials directly and needs to remove the inventory and then add it with the serials.

What is necessary to update for the inbounding process to work correctly?

Serial inventory table and the lot ID need to be updated

What is the purpose of the adjustment screen in the scenario described?

To remove and re-add inventory with serials. Signup and view all the answers

Why is it difficult to map the series number to the lot ID using DP?

Because there is no inbounding process that was performed Signup and view all the answers

Why is it necessary to remove the inventory quantity before adding it with serials?

What happens during receiving when the SKU has no end-to-end enabled?

The SKU is saved with the received and generates a lot, and the series number is put into two tables Signup and view all the answers

Why did the system create serials with the same lot attributes when the user repeated the same process?

Because the user used the same lot and LPN. Signup and view all the answers

Why can't we map the series number back to the lot ID using DP?

Because we don't have any inbounding data and we don't know which receiving performs this kind of series number Signup and view all the answers

What is the result of using DP to add only the series number into the inventory table?

We cannot map back this lot and the series into received detail Signup and view all the answers

What is the error the user encountered when trying to perform the activity in the RF?

What is the implication of having a great number of series numbers if we want to put it into the inventory table?

It will be difficult to write Signup and view all the answers

Why do both tables need to be updated when capturing catchment data and serial numbers?

Because end-to-end catchment data and serial numbers are interrelated and require simultaneous updates. Signup and view all the answers

What is the significance of the ASN and source key in managing serial inventory?

They are used to track and update inventory records, including serial numbers. Signup and view all the answers

What is the main challenge in updating the serial number in the inventory table?

The system-generated lot ID key makes it difficult to establish relationships between the header and detail tables. Signup and view all the answers

Why do we need to enable end-to-end serialization for a specific SKU?

To capture serial numbers for that SKU, especially when some items have already been enabled for serialization. Signup and view all the answers

What happens when we do a patch for serial inventory?

We need to update the lot ID header and detail tables, as well as the inventory table. Signup and view all the answers

How do we currently do DP for serial inventory?

We don't do DP for serial inventory because we cannot establish relationships between the header and detail tables. Signup and view all the answers

What is the significance of the ASN number and ASN line in the DP process?

The ASN number and ASN line are used to generate the source key and source number during the DP process. Signup and view all the answers

Why do we need to update the IO flag during the DP process?

To reflect the correct status of the inventory, especially when serial numbers are not captured during receiving. Signup and view all the answers

What is the purpose of the catch data table in the inventory system?

The catch data table is updated during receiving and shipping, and it shows the serial numbers directly. Signup and view all the answers

How do we know which tables are impacted during the DP process?

We can check the adjustment impact on the tables, including the inventory series inventory table, ITRAN table, and others. Signup and view all the answers

What is the significance of the lot ID key in the inventory system?

The lot ID key is generated during the receiving process and is used to establish relationships between the header and detail tables. Signup and view all the answers

Why do we need to simulate the relationships between the tables during the DP process?

To ensure that the serial numbers are correctly captured and updated in the inventory tables. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

AU Square E2E Capture

Scenario: inventory exists, but serialization is not updated
User chooses LPN which is serial required
Adjustment screen is used to include serials, but cannot be done directly
Inventory needs to be removed and then added back with serials
Serials are created with same lot attributes

End-to-End Serialization

Enabled for SKU, but no inbounding process was performed
Cannot map serial number to lot ID
Datapack cannot be used to upload data
Lot ID key is system-generated and cannot be simulated

Inventory Tables

Header table and detail table are used for inventory management
Lot ID key is used to map between tables
Difficulty lies in mapping lot ID key between tables
System-generated data makes it hard to establish relationships between tables

Challenges

Cannot generate lot ID key
Cannot simulate relationships between tables
Need to patch serial number, but difficult to establish relationships
Currently, DP is only for quantity in stock, not for receiving

Solution

Need to update lot ID header and detail tables
Also need to update inventory table
Difficulty lies in establishing relationships between tables
System-generated data makes it hard to simulate relationships

Additional Notes

Rakesh suggests preparing a datapack to upload serial numbers
Quantity and serial numbers need to be updated in inventory table
Lot ID key is used to map between tables
