Onix Maker streamlines equipment registration in the Onix platform using Excel files. When equipment details are pre-registered directly from the manufacturing point, the picking process within Onix Pick and Pack becomes more efficient and accurate.
In this guide, we’ll explore the key features of Onix Maker, such as uploading Excel files, troubleshooting errors and tracking upload status.
1. Log into Onix Maker
To use Onix Maker, you must have an Onix Work user account.
- Sign in to Onix Maker via: https://maker.onix.com/
- At the login page, you can log in with either your Onix Work or Microsoft account.
- If you don’t have access to Onix Maker, contact your administrator to check your user setting.
2. Create a new serialized order
Before importing data, you must create an order.
- Go to Serialized orders → Click on New.
- Enter the order details, the customer and supplier companies. Note that your company must be listed as either the customer or supplier (or both).
- Click Save when you’ve filled all the mandatory fields.
3. Import and manage imported data
3.1. Check import file template and instructions
Onix Maker only supports Excel (.xlsx) format. The supported fields are: Product no., Serial no., Batch no., Owner’s Equip. ID, Global ID.
Detailed instructions are available on the home page to ensure the import data’s accuracy. You can also download our file template to prepare the file accordingly.
3.2. Import data to add new serialization items
After the import file is ready, follow these instructions:
- In the Serialized orders module, open the relevant order → Switch to its Serialization tab.
- Click Import → Drag and drop or browse your import file manually.
- Upon upload, the import file undergoes data validation process to ensure that all equipment data can be successfully created in Onix Work. Do not leave the website or exit Windows app during this process.
- In case the import file contains invalid data, download the error details file and correct them according to the reason listed in each row. Then import the file again.
Once validation is successful, the serialization data is added to the incoming equipment store and becomes available for scanning across Onix. This may take a few hours, and you will receive an email when it’s ready.
What is the incoming equipment store?
- It is a database that holds serialization data for equipment, including product numbers, serial numbers, and global IDs.
- This data is accessible via scanning to any member company on the Onix platform.
- Common use case: Once serialization data is registered in the incoming equipment store, Onix Pick and Pack users from any company can scan to pick the relevant equipment for an order.
3.3. Add or update serialization items in an order
Add new items
To add new serialization items, prepare a new import file and repeat step 3.2. Import data.
Once import is successful, the serialization data is added to the incoming equipment store and becomes available for scanning across Onix. This may take a few hours, and you will receive an email when it’s ready.
Update existing items
Serialization tems are uniquely identified by their global IDs. This means:
- If an item in a new import has the same global ID as a previous import, its serialization values will be overwritten.
- You can update any fields of a serialization item, except for the Global ID.
To update existing serialization items, prepare a new import file and repeat step 3.2. Import data.
3.4. Delete a serialization item
In the Serialized orders module:
- Open the relevant order and switch to its Serialization tab.
- Select the items that you want to remove → Click Delete.
- The selected serialization items will then disappear from the table, and its data is removed from the incoming equipment store.
3.5. Track import details and statuses
All import details and statuses are available in each order’s Import history. Each import has 1 out of these statuses:
| Import status | Meaning | Action required |
|---|---|---|
| Processing | Equipment is currently being registered in Onix Work. | No action required. |
| Completed | All equipment in the import file has been registered in Onix Work successfully. | No action required. |
| Completed with N items failed | Several equipment contain errors and need correcting; others have been registered in Onix Work successfully. | Click on View details to troubleshoot errors and then re-upload ONLY the failed equipment. |
| Failed | The upload fails completely and no equipment has been registered. | Click on View details to troubleshoot errors and then re-upload all equipment data. |
