Serial Reservation on Purchase Order Line
Explanation
Use this function to reserve a range of serial numbers for a
specific purchase order.
Note: You cannot reserve serial numbers that already exist in the
part serial catalog or that already are reserved on another order.
Prerequisites
- The purchase order line must have been entered and saved.

tracking must have been activated in IFS/Part Catalog. The serial rule can be either
Manual or Automatic.

with direct delivery.

purchase order. The reserved serial numbers then appear as default values in the receipt
function. Any unused serial numbers are unreserved when the purchase order is closed. You
can view all reserved serial numbers in
