Usage

Use this window and its tabs to enter details for the selected serial part. You cannot create new serial parts in this window. New serial parts are generated automatically for each engineering part (in IFS/PDM-Configuration) that is defined as a serialized part. 

The following table shows the right mouse button options which are available in this window:

RMB Option Description
Copy Engineering Parts If you have been using IFS/PDM-Configuration for sometime prior to installing IFS/Vehicle Information Management, you can select this option to copy existing engineering parts; thereby initiating the automatic generation of serial parts.
Manage Serial Number Generation Select this option to modify the serial number prefix and/or the base serial number of the part.
Update Life Limit Select this option to update the part's life limit from '-' to Life Limited for all template structure entries (i.e., child parts). Note: This option is only enabled for Life Limited serial parts that contain defined template information.

For the description of each tab in the window, follow the appropriate link: General, Operational Parameters, Maint Group, Oper. Param per Maint. Group, Part Revisions, Serials.
