Creating part type/part control type conversion document – An overview

In this page, you can create a part type/ part control type conversion document, to store the part type / part control type conversion details, The conversion document will be created in “Fresh” status, if there are no open transactions for the part for which the part type/part control type is to be changed.

The conversion document will be created in “Draft” status, if there are any open transactions existing for the part

This page also enables you to confirm the part type/part control type document in “Fresh” status. On confirmation, if there exists no open transactions for the part, the part type/part control type conversion is carried out.

On conversion of the part type / part control type, the details such as reference status, issue basis, inspection type, are updated for the part in the respective business components. If the part control type is changed to “Serial Controlled” or “Lot Controlled” or “Serial-Lot Controlled”, then the new manufacturer serial number/ manufacturer lot number entered, and the internal serial number/internal lot number that are newly generated by the system, will be updated in the “Stock Maintenance” business components.

The system will consider the existing serial number, if a serial part is converted to serial-lot controlled part or vice-versa.

The system will consider the existing lot number, if a lot controlled part is converted to a serial-lot controlled part or vice-versa.

The system stores the login user ID along with the server date.
