Product tracking #

Product tracking enables the location and history of serial numbered products to be recorded. The product tracking record is created when the serial number is allocated on the work order that creates the product. If a product is being purchased the the record is created at receipt time. It is updated with the customer address when the product is shipped to the customer.  The product is then assumed to be at the delivery address of the order, but this can be changed if, for instance, the product is moved to a separate location or returned for service.

 

Note that product tracking is often used with the dedicated work order feature. This is because a history of the “as-built” product structure is kept, and when using dedicated work orders the structure will often change on each work order.

 

Licensing #

The following optional license modules affect sales orders (See the Admin->Licensing section for more details):

Product tracking Required for this feature
Serial numbers and lot tracking Required for this feature
Service work orders If service work is to be linked to a serial numbered product. For example on site service or installation work of a piece of equipment

 

 

The product tracking screen #

Records are normally created automatically by work orders or at receipt time for products being purchased. However it is also possible to create a record in the Product Tracking system which is unrelated to previous sales. This may be done for instance if you want to migrate an existing list of sold products into the system at start-up.

 

It is possible to record other information related to this individual product as described below.

 

 

The Product tracking selector lists records which are by serial numbers. Press New to create a new record, but remember that new records are normally created automatically from serial numbered products.

As Built Structure #

This tab displays the product structure of the serial numbered product. It is read from the consumed items on the work order where this product was created. If there was more than one product created on the same work order, it assumes that there product structures are identical. If a component also has serial numbers, it is possible to view that on the as built structure.

 

 

Custom fields #

It is possible to have custom fields for a tracked product. These fields must be created by the service provider. Normally custom fields will also be implemented on custom reports. They can include such things as “Next service date” for instance

 

Work history #

This lists service work orders that have been carried out and are marked to this product. See the service work orders section in the Production menu.

 

Activities #

PRM activities can be linked to an agreement. See the section on PRM for further details on activities.
