Serial Numbers on an RFID Tag

I am new to RFID technology. My question is: Can 1 RFID tag be designed to capture and transmit 5 non-consecutive serial numbers contained in 1 container box?
If you can tell me if this is possible with minimum effort or much effort, please let me know.
Then, if you also know Oracle's e-Business Suite (EBS), let me know if it's possible to have the scanning of such an RFID tag with 5 non-consecutive serial numbers populate the Serial Numbers form in EBS like on a shipping transaction.

Thanks, Sam.
The EBS modules would be Inventory and Shipping. We do not use WMS.
Uh, I do not know 'edge'. We do not use RFID currently and our volumes are small.
Here's the business issue, whether the solution is RFID or not: Our company makes lasers for fiber optics. Originally, we just made high-end lasers (low volume, high dollar) that were placed into individual container boxes with a barcode label with its single serial number on the outside. All of these lasers were serialized as finished goods in Oracle. Whenever we ship such a laser, we have someone scan the picked lasers manually with a barcode reader one container box at a time. This has not been an issue, since volumes are small.
But now we sell low-end lasers (higher volume, lower dollar), which often are sold in containers of 5. Each of the 5 small lasers have an individual, non-consecutive serial number. Our business areas want these items serialized in Oracle EBS as well, even though it makes more sense to me to track these items by LOT NUMBERS, not individual SERIAL NUMBERS.
The dilemma is: When we ship, let's say, 1000 of these small lasers by picking 200 multi-pack containers, how do we have the shipping guy scan in the 1000 serial numbers?
One way is to print 5 small individual S/N barcode labels on the multi-pack container, then have the poor guy scan in 1000 S/N's into the Oracle Shipping form from the 200 containers.
That's why I was asking if there could be an easy RFID solution. Perhaps log the 5 S/N's in the multi-pack container onto 1 RFID tag. Then have the guy scan the RFID tag and have it insert the 5 S/N's onto the Shipping S/N form, one S/N at a time with a tab entry to go to the next S/N line. That way, the guy only scans 200 RFID tags. Is this crazy (not possible)?

My assistant and I are using two Lightrooms (i.e. two serial numbers) and need to share between our two computers. I provide originals to her onto a flash drive. She tags them and returns them to me. I then copy the photos from her flash drive onto my computer and load them in my LR. The photos appear but witthout any editing or tagging. We need to be able to have her working on the photos on her computer with her copy of LR and me on my computer with my version of LR being able to access what is already tagged and given back to me. This seems hard. We need advice on if it is at all possible to have two computers simultaneously working on LR . I bought her her own version because I was told at the time of purchasing that that was the only way to share. Please advise urgently! Thanks.

Sounds like your assistant isn't instructing Lightroom to write the tagging and editing to the files themselves, so wehn the files return to you, they don't have editing and tagging information. She need to select the photos in Lightroom and then Ctrl-S (Cmd-S on Mac). Or alternatively turn on the option to autmoatically write this information to the files.
If you are using RAW photos, then this information will be written to a sidecar XMP file, and your assistant must provide you with the sidecar file. If these photos are not RAW photos, then the information is written directly into the photo file itself.
Lightroom wasn't designed to be a multi-user program, and so it is truly not possible to have two people working on the same catalog at once. The way you are doing things, as modified above, is probably the way to go.
As an alternative, you can transfer (portions of) catalogs as well as photos back and forth and then all of these issues disappear, but a catalog might be rather large for a flash drive (or maybe not, it depends)

Matching Machine Serial Number to a Asset Tag

Is there a way to take the machine Serial Number (From System Profiler possiblely) and match it to a file that has Serial Numbers and Asset Tags from a inventory database?
1. Define Serial Number through System Profiler
2. Scan File with Serial Numbers and Asset Tags which are tied together.
3. Once match is made the Asset Tag is known
3. Make the Asset Tag a environment variable.
G4 1.42 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

You don't define the format of the file that contains asset numbers and serial numbers (and I think the 'tie together' is making it sound harder than it is.
In any case:
1. Define Serial Number through System Profiler
system_profiler will tell you this. You can ask for the specific hardware information, then parse out the serial number, like:
/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ { print $3}'
2. Scan File with Serial Numbers and Asset Tags which are tied together.
Without knowing this file format it's impossible to tell how to do this for sure, but if the file was a simple tab-delimited file of asset number<tab>serial number, then:
awk '/<serial_number>/ {print $1}' /path/to/asset_file
You can now string the two together, like:
#! /bin/sh
SERIAL=`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ { print $3 }'`
echo "Found serial number ${SERIAL}"
ASSETNO=`/usr/bin/awk "/${SERIAL}/ { print \\$1 }" /var/tmp/assets`
echo "Found asset number $ASSETNO"
export ASSETNO
Note the user of double-backslashes in the second awk to overcome shell expansion issues.

Serial Numbers for Sales Orders

We have a business Process where we do not maintain any serial numbers for the products. How ever one of our customer maintains serial numbers for the products that come to their warehouse.
This customer will send in the serial numbers for each material and quantity in the inbound 850 Idoc and he wants those serial numbers to be printed on top of the boxes. so that he can scan them while receiving the GR and do automatic posting at thier system.
we have to store this serial numbers against this sales order and print them in the shipping tags for the finished products that are to be sent to this customer.
Now
1) we do not want to use serial number profiles because it effects every sales order / delivery created for that material. the serial numbers should be assigned only to the orders from this specific customer. Is there any way to acheive this?
2) in the sap idoc 850 ( message type ORDERS05) how do we store the serial numbers. what segment and fields are available for this purpose.
3) how to save this serial numbers in the sap system against the sales order created for this customer.
Your answers will be highy appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks for all those wonderful replies..
I am looking more at a standard solution. with minor changes..
Storing the serial numers in text items is possible but not practical, the more the quantity the more difficult and time consuming is this process for ex if this customer orders 10,000 qty. then it would be tough.. and again to solve that problem we have to break the qty into multiple line items and this is only a alternatve but not a good solution i guess.
I thought this scenario should be more in practice because, customers can request us to put their serial numbers on the packing boxes that we send them.
So just wondering if any our colleagues have already worked in this scenario.. While doing a search I saw a couple of questions regarding the same situations back in 2005 and 2007 but the questions were marked as answered without mentioning the solution they approached to solve this problem.
Can any of you suggest me whether is this scneario a standard one ?

Goods Receipt and Serial Numbers

I'm getting the following error "[IGN1.WhsCode][line: 1] , 'This entry already exists in the following tables (ODBC -2035)'" when trying to add a goods receipt document containing a single item that is serial number managed via the DI API. We are running against Business One version 2005A SP01 PL9. The Goods Receipt PO transaction is reporting the same error. The Goods Issue and Delivery transaction appeared to work correctly. The Goods Receipt transaction posted correctly when created in the B1 Client (GUI) application. So it is an issue with the DI API. We are using the SBODemo_US company database but we added a new item and configured it for serial number management. This same code works with B1 2004A. Our application is suppose to work with both versions of B1, so our application is built with version 2004A DI API. Should this work, or do I need to use the 2005A version of the DI API when communicating with a 2005A system? Would this version of the DI API work correctly with a 2004A system?
Thanks,
Jason Eiler

I remembered encountering the same problem working with B1 2004A. For the Goods Receipt and Goods Receipt PO documents, when receiving items that are serial managed I would fill in the InternalSerialNumber data member of the Document Lines Serial Numbers object. The fix was I also had to provide some value for the SystemSerialNumber field. I just always set it to a value of 1. In B1 2005A, this issue must have been resolved, because when I commented out this line of code, the document was added successfully. I don't have to provide a SystemSerialNumber, the system must generate one, as I would expect.

iPods do not work with "accounts." They work with your iTunes library. You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod. One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time. iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content. Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to? If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library. Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library. You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.

Goods movement with serial numbers

Hi,
1. Is there any report or table where I can see goods movement of material with their serial numbers?
2. Also in MMBE i can see 'On order stock'. I know this is PO open PO quantity.
Now this open PO qty will not be there against any storage location. I got some stock on this status in some storage location.
How I can move to 'unrestricted stock' status?
Please advice.

Hi
Check these tables,
SER00 General Header Table for Serial Number Management
SER01 Document Header for Serial Numbers for Delivery
SER02 Document Header for Serial Nos for Maint.Contract (SD Order)
SER03 Document Header for Serial Numbers for Goods Movements
SER04 Document Header for Serial Numbers for Inspection Lot
SER05 Document Header for Serial Numbers for PP Order
SER06 Document Header for Serial Numbers for Handling Unit-Content
SER07 Document Header for Serial Numbers in Physical Inventory
And in order to move On Order stock to Unrestricted you need to close those POs by doing GR.
Hope it helps

Hi,
Is Serial number is the one obtained thro stadard batch management or is it a Zfield.
On Order stock cannot be converted to unrestircted stock unless a GR is made.

Delivery notes and serial numbers

Hi
I have a simple SQL question.
How do I get the serial numbers in "plain SQL"?
The SDK "Help Center" shows that I can get the delivey notes from the ODLN table and then dig into the DLN1 rows and get the list of items. However, serial numbers are within the OSRI table (OSRI.IntrSerial).
How can I "bridge" DLN1 with OSRI? Or, how do I get all serial numbers related to an item of a delivery note in "simple SQL selects"?

Hi Vieri.
You have to link to table SRI1 where saves the transactions you made with transactional documents where includes items with serial numbers. The query could be as follows:
SELECT ODLN.DOCDATE, ODLN.DOCNUM, OSRI.SUPPSERIAL FROM OSRI
JOIN SRI1 ON (SRI1.SYSSERIAL = OSRI.SYSSERIAL)
JOIN ODLN ON (ODLN.DOCENTRY = SRI1.BASEENTRY)
JOIN DLN1 ON (DLN1.ITEMCODE = OSRI.ITEMCODE)
WHERE ODLN.DOCENTRY = 5
ORDER BY ODLN.DOCDATE DESC
I don´t know by the moment if via SDK you can read this information.
I hope it helps.
Best regards.

HT1329 How do you deauthorize ipods that no longer work or have been stolen. What does it mean that you only have 5 devices that can download your itunes library. How do you deactivte old serial numbers and add new ones as of now we only have one ipod

Over the years we have owned many i-pods. Most of them ran out of juice or were just outdated some even stolen. As of right now I have one i-pod that should be authorized to download music from my library. I plan to get a new one. My question is how do you deactivate all the old i-pods so that i-tunes doesnt think I have all these pods downloading from my personal lbrary of music. If I get a new one and plug it in it will say you are authorized 1 or 2 or whatever it is at this point to download music from this libtary. How to I get rid of all the old devices (serial numbers) that don't draw from my i-tunes library anymore?

Ipods/iphones/ipads/apple tvs are not authorized at all.
Authorization applies ONLY to computers.

Missing Serial Numbers for Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium with the education discount in 2010. My computer crashed and I am trying to install the software on my new computer. I do not have the serial numbers anywhere. For some reason, the Adobe Acrobat 9 serial number was saved in my Adobe Account. However, the remainder of the applications, which were installed on the same day, were not saved in my account? So now, I have no way of installing anything except Adobe Acrobat 9. Is there a way to have a new serial number issued to you? Or a way for Adobe to use my Acrobat 9 serial number to track down the others? I have all the installation files. Is it hidden in one of those files possibly?

Try chat, they might be able to assist you in finding it thru your account. You might be able to use the Acrobat info to convince them that you also have the CS5 under your account.
