Preassigning Serial Numbers for a Co-job

Use these steps to preassign serial numbers for an item when you create a co-job that includes the item:

On the Items form, specify that the item to be used in the co-job is S/N tracked.
(Optional) If you want to use serial number prefixes for this item, click S/N Definition and define the prefix to use. Alternatively, a global prefix can be defined on the Inventory Parameters form.
Create the job using the Co-job Orders form. (This form is available only if you are using the Molding Industry Pack.)
For each item that will use a preassigned serial number, select Preassign Serials in the grid.

Note: If Preassign Serials is already selected by default for the item on the Items form, you cannot change it here. However, if this field is not selected on that form, then you can select it here. When the job status is changed from Firm, this field is disabled.
Click the Preassign Lots/Serials button and on the form that opens, select the Serials tab. The amount of serial numbers to generate is displayed automatically, based upon the Released quantity for the job.
Click Generate Serial . The next sequential serial numbers available for this item are listed. (The Generate Serial button is enabled only if the Expand S/N field is selected in the Inventory Parameters form. If the button is disabled, specify the new serial numbers in the grid.)
Select the ones to use for this order.
Save the co-job order.
