Using Serial Numbers for Stock Items
Serial numbers allow individual products to have unique numbers assigned to them and allow those products to be traced. You can assign serial numbers of up to 20 alphanumeric characters.
To use serial numbers in Inventory, you must select the
Serialized System check box in
Module Preferences. When you create a stock item or edit a stock item that has an on-hand quantity of zero, you can select the
Serialized check box in the
IN Stock window.
NOTE: A stock item cannot be assigned both serial numbers and lot numbers. Once you activate lot number tracking in the IN Stock window, the Serialized check box is disabled. Also, you cannot use serial numbers if you use multi-pack pricing for the stock item. |
Once you assign a serial number to a stock item, you’ll be required to enter a serial number when you sell or receive the item.
If you use kits, you can only assign serial numbers to completed kits, not components of the kit.
After you establish a serialized stock item, you can add serial numbers to it in two ways:
• perform an adjustment transaction in the IN Adjust Stock Quantities window
• add serial numbers in the Received Serialized Numbers window when you receive the item in Purchase Order.
