Use this dialog box to convert functional objects to serial objects. This dialog box is to be used for converting an existing object structure from a previous version of IFS/Maintenance. Upon installation, all objects from the old structure are automatically converted to functional objects in the new structure. However, the objects that you want to create as serial ones have to be converted manually one by one. This applies only to movable serials, i.e., objects that can be moved freely within the facility, and to and from inventory, such as motors, gearboxes, etc. For non-movable serials, i.e., serial objects that cannot be moved easily, such as turbines, you have to perform another procedure.
You can also use this dialog box to convert functional objects received from IFS/Plant Design to serial objects. When receiving functional objects from IFS/Plant Design, the object may or may not have an object level defined. The objects that do not have an object level, i.e., the objects which have their object level set to Undefined, can be converted to serials using this dialog box.
