Reference IDs

You can use reference IDs to perform transactions more efficiently. Reference IDs are unique barcode labels that identify a specific item and stock point combination. Instead of scanning each stock point characteristic, such as the item number, location, and lot number, to perform a transaction, you can scan the reference ID, which will automatically specify the stock point characteristics. Reference IDs are usually scanned at the beginning of a transaction.

The Valid Reference IDs are:

• ‘serial number ~ item number’
• handling unit
• lot number

The composition of your reference IDs will depend upon how you track and organize inventory at your organization.
