RE: Serial number

[sjones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We don't use MAPICS to handle the serial numbers, but do have a file on 
the I-Series to store the info.

Convincing users that it would be better can be tough.  If you put it on 
the I-Series, either in MAPICS or your own, people could inquire on the 
data without contacting others.  Are the serial numbers bar-coded, so that 
someone does not have to manually record the data?  You can write some 
reports based on serial number data that you may not have now.

RE: Serial number






We only serialize about 30% of what goes out the door (line items) and
our products have lifetime warranty.  Obviously, with that kind of
warranty, our return rate is very low due to the high quality of the
product.  Our quality tech assigns the serial numbers and keys into
excel.  How can I convince anyone that this info would be better put
into mapics?  Or, do I even try?

We scan and record the Serial Number of >90% of what goes out of our
door. 
 We have a Five year warranty on almost all, then a three year on the 
rest.  This info is picked up from the Item Master at shipping time
(also 
whether or not "Serial Number Required" is checked.  I honestly don't
know 
how we would handle this manually...

Serial number







Is anyone using the Mapics serial number capability?  Can anyone give me
the benefits of having the serial number in mapics (other than lookup
capabilities) rather than an external database?  I'm having trouble
getting change to occur -our users are quite content to leave this in an
excel spreadsheet and have customer service call quality when they need
to know what went where.
Thanks in advance,
