Manually Add Items to Inventory
The Inventory section of the Builds module is a list of the quantity, serial # / lot #, and location of parts on hand.
Note: A part needs to be added to the Parts dictionary before you can add inventory.
Select the part from the drop down list
Select the revision
Click Add Item to populate the fields
If applicable, enter the serial # or lot # of the associated part (this will populate based on the Tracking selection for that item in the Parts dictionary)
Enter the quantity you are adding to inventory that will have the same tracking information (Serial tracked items can only have a quantity of 1)
Select a Location for the parts to be stored if desired
Save to add the items into inventory
Note: The Location needs to first be created before it will appear in the list.
Items with Serial tracking can only be added with a quantity of 1. The quantity can be adjusted for Lot tracking or No Tracking items.
The Inventory screen will display a list of parts and the total quantity on hand. Clicking the arrow next to a part will expand to show tracking and location information.
Auto-Generate Inventory Serial / Lot #
Admins can enable Auto-increment serial numbers by clicking on the gear icon next to Builds, then on Numbering, and then toggling this setting on for Inventory. Select a Prefix, Delimiter, and Offset that will be used whenever your team auto-generates a new serial number.
Serial numbers support a single 3-character prefix and an optional hyphen delimiter. Valid number range is 100000 - 100000000000.
Once enabled, Add Part Inventory, Receive Items and Close PO, and Parts for Check-In (during a run) will all have a button in the Add Serial # input field to auto-generate the next serial. See below for examples.
Custom Inventory Detail
Add custom fields to your Part Inventory details screen for specific inventory items.
Navigate to Builds settings. Click + Add Inventory Detail to add custom fields. These can be (optionally) filled in for any Parts Inventory item.
You must be an ADMIN to perform this action.
Click Edit in the Part Inventory details page to update custom inventory details.
Custom Field details will not be displayed on the Inventory Detail screen until after inputs have been saved.
You can also Update Inventory Detail(s) during a run by adding this to a step within your Builds procedures.
Select the desired detail input option(s) from the dropdown menu.
During the run, select the Serial / Lot # of the part inventory item(s) being used or checked-in during the procedure.
Details will be saved within the corresponding Parts Inventory details page.
Each change will also be tracked in the run history section at the bottom of the inventory details page.
