Integration with Other QAD Solutions
Serialization and EDI eCommerce
Serialization is also integrated with EDI eCommerce. You can use serialized advance ship notices (ASNs) for inbound and outbound messages that contain shipper, container, and item data as well as serialization data. You can also export serialization information for outbound shipments through EDI eCommerce programs.
Note: There is a limitation on the integration between Serialization and EDI eCommerce. Serialization data of kit components cannot be exported through EDI eCommerce programs.
Finally, QAD provides the framework for Serialization to be integrated with third-party products so you can:
• Capture serial numbers from trading partners.
• Communicate usage and shipment of serial IDs to trading partners.
• Export serial IDs that are booked for a specific work order.
• Capture serialization hierarchy—aggregated serial numbers from pallet, shippers, items—during WO receipts transactions.
Serialization with Item Attributes and Quality Control
The system can automatically create a lot attribute order or a quality order during receipt of serialized inventory. For information on lot attribute orders and quality orders, refer to
QAD Item Attributes and Quality Control User Guide.
In receipt transactions for serialized inventory, you can:
• Enter attribute values for a lot.
• Create or update lot attribute or quality orders for the receipt transaction.
When processing inventory, the system warns you when you pick, pack, or issue inventory that does not conform to pre-specified attribute values. The system records attribute validation results for issue, transfer, or shipment transactions. Also, you can copy lot attributes when you transfer serialized inventory to a new lot or reference. The system prompts to create a lot when you receive into an existing lot. Finally, you can optionally set labels that you print to also print attribute values.
