Following are representative SCC (Swift Construction Company) workflows, based on the Aircraft Wireless product.
One of the SCC's most popular product is the Aircraft Wireless, PN (part number) 10000003. The most significant customer for the Aircraft Wireless is UFM (Universal Flying Machines), who sponsored the initial development effort. The SCC has received recent inquiries from B&E Submarines, who are interested in evaluating the Aircraft Wireless for communicating with their fleet of submarines when surfaced.
To build Aircraft Wireless units, the SCC first purchases assembled electronics circuit boards (PN 20000003) in lots of 10. The circuit boards are inspected and serialized when received from the electronics contract manufacturer, then stored until needed. Finished units are assembled in-house as needed (i.e. build-to-order), using the previously assembled circuit boards and other components. Although the Aircraft Wireless was designed to withstand harsh environments, a field spares kit is available with the necessary parts to repair most catastrophic failures.
It is assumed that all necessary parts, customers and suppliers are available in the Maestro database (which will be the case if you installed the SCC dataset into Maestro).

This workflow explores serialized stock in the context of a customer purchase. B&E Submarines desires to purchase a spare parts kit for the Aircraft Wireless unit they previously purchased. A serialized circuit board is used in the assembly of the spare parts kit (preferably a phantom-type BoM to make the parts in it visible), which is then sold and delivered to B&E.
Sometime later, Ed Bentley calls from B&E. He says he found a circuit board, but does not know if it is the circuit board from the spares kit. Ed cannot remember exactly, but he seems to recall the original circuit board failed and he swapped it with the one from the spare parts kit. Ed wants to know if the serial number on the board is the same as the board shipped in the spare parts kit he bought.
Explore serial numbers in the context of a project. B&E Submarines plans to upgrade 5 of their submarines with Aircraft Wireless systems. A contract is negotiated between the SCC and B&E, and the SCC initiates a Project to capture all related activity (of which the physical receiver units are only one portion). Complete radio receivers PN 10000003 are manufactured, each with its own serial number, traceable to the serialized electronics circuit board within. The completed radio receivers are sold and delivered to B&E as part of the overall project.
Sometime later, Ed Bentley calls from B&E. He has a circuit board in his hand again, and wants to know where the serial number came from. Ed asks if the circuit board was from one of the 5 receivers delivered as part of the upgrade project.
