Operations Unit Units Units view Unit Inspector All Equipment tab Actions Renumber Renumber Unit form
The Renumber Unit form enables you to correct any errors in the equipment ID of the selected unit. If you do not select a unit in the list view or select multiple units, the Renumber option is disabled.
When a user enters a container ID at the gate or in any other form that may create a new unit, it is checked against the container reference data (on page 1). If N4 finds a record with the same first 10 digits (equipment prefix + number) but a different check digit, it takes one of the following actions:
If the existing record has the correct check digit according to the check digit calculation, N4 displays an alert message for the user and updates the data entry field in the selected form to match the master record.
If the user inputs the correct check digit according to the check digit calculation, N4 updates the master record to match the user input and records a warning in the log.
You can use the Renumber Unit form to correct the check digit for an existing Container ID.
The check digit you specify in the Renumber Unit form must be correct according to the associated check digit algorithm. The algorithm uses the four character prefix and the six digit container ID to verify the specified check digit. You can associate a check digit algorithm with a container ID prefix using the Equipment Prefix form (on page 1).
To renumber a unit:
In the Correct Container ID field, enter the new or the correct equipment ID.
The new equipment ID must be unique and not used by any other unit in the system.
Click Save.
When you renumber a unit, N4 records the UNIT_CHECKDIGIT event (may or may not be billable) against the unit. You can view the event details from the Unit Inspector (on page 1) History, Events tab (on page 1) for the unit.
Notes
If there are extracted events in the Chargeable Unit Events view for the equipment ID and the events are in the QUEUED status, N4 also updates the equipment ID in the extracted events. This ensures that the events are included in the correct invoice when used in the billing application.
For Active units, you can use the Inspector Launcher (
) button to launch the Unit Inspector for the unit you just renumbered. However, the button is disabled for the Advised units.
