Adding Sequential UIDs to Shipment
For shipments that include mostly continuous ranges of UIDs, the MIL-Comply allows you to create a sequence of UIDs based on a starting number. This tool is reached from [ Range of Serial Numbers ] button on the End-Item UIDs for Shipment dialog.
Using the tool is just a few simple steps:
1.Enter the serial number of the first UID, in this case '000097'.
2.Check/set the Construct to be used, which is defaulted to UID2
3.Enter the number of UIDs to create
Generating Construct 1 UIIs
Notice that choosing UID1 (Construct 1) changes the display to remove the Part Number field and its effect on the UII itself, changing the specimen UII to 'D8T31800097'.
MIL-Comply allow you to check new UIDs against the IUID Registry to ensure that the UIIs are, in fact, unique. As one might expect, WAWF will bounce an EDI Receiving Report submission that contains UIDs that are already in the Registry. More importantly, if you are adding UID items to the MIL-Comply database for the purposes of item marking it is a good idea to ensure that the UII is not already in use before applying the mark. See the UID Registry Confirmation topic for more information on configuring MIL-Comply for IUID Registry queries. |
