Selecting Existing Serial Numbers

When a serial-tracked item is shipped, moved, returned, or declared a loss, you must indicate that item's serial number(s) in the transaction form's Serial Numbers tab.

Enter the item number, quantity, and any other required information (such as location). The Serial Numbers tab is then activated, indicating the item is serial-tracked.
In the Serial Numbers tab, the Target Qty, Generate Qty, and Range Qty default to the value of the Quantity field in the Detail tab. If necessary, change the Generate Qty. It should indicate how many serial numbers you want listed, in order to make your selections.
Click Generate to start Filter-in-Place mode and activate the Serials grid.
In the S/N field, enter any filtering criteria to use to select the range of serial numbers to display.
Click the filter-in-place button. A list of existing serial numbers matching your filter criteria is retrieved from the database and displayed in the grid. The list contains the amount of serial numbers specified in the Generate Qty.
Select the serial numbers to use for the transaction. Use either of these methods:
- In the grid, select the Select check box to select each serial number you want.
- To select a range of numbers, manually select the first number you want; then, in the Range Qty field, enter the amount of serial numbers to select (by default, this value matches the Target Qty). Then click Select Range to select the following serial numbers in the grid, up to the Range Qty value.
When you process the transaction, the selected serial numbers are included with the transaction.

Note: To select new system serial numbers for a Vendor Ship Notice (GRN) where vendor-assigned serial numbers exist, use the Vendor Serial button instead of the Generate button. Vendor-assigned serial numbers come into the system only through EDI transactions.
