Serial Number Editor

DD-Master's convenient serial number editor takes the hassle out of entering lists of serial numbers. Serial Numbers can also drive automatic Unique Identifier (UID) generation for both labeling and submission to the UID Registry via WAWF.

Serial Number Editor

Lists can be entered in any desired order and will print in the order entered. The list processor will count the items in the list and warn you if it does not match the quantity to be shipped. Ranges can have serial numbers up to twenty-five (25) characters in length, with the incremented part at the end of the string. The remainder can be composed of any other characters. For example: WIDGET030018; 351-135155; A-020535; 01-BETA-01235.

Automatic Generation of UIDs

The Mil-Pac WASup software tries to simplify the specification of UID data by recognizing that most companies will use UID Construct 2, combining their CAGE code, part number and serial number to create each UID. The WASup software will automatically generate these UIDs when it encounters the operator UID: Type2, which can appear anywhere between the nomenclature (second line) the first Serial Number.

Example 1:   Automatic Construct 2 UID

0001	1112-01-434-0001 LN-200 IMU HOUSING P/N: 31-142 MILSTRIP: N005354281X001XXX UID: TYPE2 S/N: 2044492, 2044498, 2044499, 2044501, 2044507

In this example five UIDs would be constructed, using the Prime CAGE code "1HLD9" (DD250 Block 9), part number "31-142" and each of the five serial numbers listed:

Serial Number Importing

Example of Serial Number File

Serial Number Files imported by DD-Master can be very simple. The numbers can be in any order and include ranges. The only real requirement is to preceed each section of numbers with the Item Number (CLIN) and the 'at' sign ( @ ).

The serial number file shown above as an example includes more information than is necessary. The lines starting with semicolons are comments, included for clarity.
