Enter the following fields if you wish to add or modify the position code details:

Position #

The position code to which the piece part must be fitted (Alphanumeric, 25). This field should be unique in the multiline. Ensure that this field is entered only for non-trackable piece parts. Data entry in this field is mandatory if the “Serial #” and the “Lot #” fields are entered.

Note: Ensure that the number of position codes defined for the piece part is equal to the quantity of piece parts specified in the “Edit Piece Part List For Component” page.

Status	Use the drop-down list box to specify the status of the position code of the piece part.
	Set the status as “Inactive” if you wish to disable this position code due to a modification in the configuration, which will make the position code defunct or physically non-existent.
Serial #	The serial number of the piece part to be placed in the position code (Alphanumeric, 40).
Lot #	The number identifying the lot to which the piece part serial number belongs (Alphanumeric, 18). Ensure that the lot number is already defined in the “Part Administration” business component.

Defining piece part position information for component configuration – An overview

In this page, you can create or modify the position code details of the piece parts identified for the component. The position codes can be created manually or generated by the system. For trackable piece parts, the system generates the position codes using the prefix that you have specified and the suffix as numbers starting from 1. For example, if you have specified the prefix as “BRG” and the quantity of piece parts as “3”, the system generates the position codes BRG01, BRG02 and BRG03. For non-trackable piece parts, you can enter the position codes manually and modify them whenever needed.

You can modify the quantity of the piece part required for the model configuration and add or modify the position codes for the piece parts and also modify the status of the position code. You can enter the serial number and the lot number of the piece part and the date on which the piece part is attached to the position code in the component configuration. You can specify the default lot number, if all the piece part serial numbers belong to the same lot.

What you can do in this page

Indicate the status of the position code

You can specify the status of the position code, which could be “Active” or “Inactive”. You can set the status as “Inactive” when a modification in the model configuration results in the position code being non-operational or physically non-existent.

Set the “Status” drop-down list box to appropriate option to specify the status of the position code.
