Pack Stage Change
Use Pack Stage Change (3.17.10) to change the stage of packs between inactive stages. Inactive stages include the Booked, New, Pending, Consumed, Decommed, Unused, and Inv Adjusted stages.
You cannot change the stage code to Consumed, Active, Picked, or Pending in this program. The system records the serial history.
The system can take several types of action when you change stages. Validations, too, occur differently, depending upon the type of change. The following topics present all system actions by number, followed by system validations by number. After that, topics explain each stage change, telling you which system action number and which validation number apply to the change.
You can use the .NET UI Multiple Pack Stage Change program to change serial ID stages in bulk based on various filtering criteria such as master serial ID, site, and location.
System Actions and Validations
Use the numbers associated with the system actions and validations described in this topic with information in Changes from Stage to Stage to determine valid changes and system responses.
The system can take any of the following actions:
1. Clear pack code.
2. Clear item number, lot/serial, and reference.
3. Clear site and location.
4. Change stage code.
5a. Decommission a whole structure and make the same changes to all serial IDs in the structure
5b. decommission a whole structure and make the same changes to all serial IDs in the structure except for the item serial IDs.
6. Clear order information except for the booked SO (or customer scheduled order).
7. Clear Qty in Pack.
8. Clear Standard Pack Quantity and Content UM.
The system can validate as follows:
v1. When not booked to an SO (or customer scheduled order), the system cannot change the stage to Booked.
v2. Item serial IDs are not supported.
v3. When the serial ID is booked to an SO, the system cannot change the stage to New.
v4. When the serial ID is not linked with a shipper, the system cannot change the stage to Inv Adjusted.
