Sales: Maintain traceability control in Project orders (POD) by requiring serial numbers for consumption of material

Classification:  IMPORTANT


The purpose of the Project order (POD) application is to have a tool that can be used to provide a cost/price estimate in advance, and a place to log hours and to follow up logistics after a project order has been started.


RamBase will expand the functionality of the Project order (POD) application by adding a new feature to increase traceability control. 


The feature includes the option of setting a requirement that all material, which are consumed in a Project order item (PODITEM), must be added a serial number. 


A created Project order item (PODITEM) will inherit the selection from the Require serial number before shipping checkbox, which is set in the Product (ART) application. Note that the option of overruling this selection will be available in the Project order item (PODITEM) application. 


The users can scan serial numbers when picking with the Pick (PODPICK) application with a hand held terminal, or with the RamBase mobile application for Project order (POD). The user can also use the desktop application.


For Project order items (PODITEM) requiring serial numbers, a validation will be made when confirming consumption of material. This is to check if the serial number requirement is fulfilled. If not, the user will not be allowed to confirm the consumption.


Please note that this new feature will only be valid for Project order items (PODITEM) that are created after release, and it will have no impact on existing Project order items (PODITEM).
