Note:
- When using Serial Number as a Reference ID, users should scan a barcode containing both the serial number and item number in this format: Serial Number~Item Number.
- To use Lot Code as a Reference ID, the lot codes used in your organization must each be restricted to one stock point. If single lot codes exist at multiple stock points, the Lot Code Reference ID has no effect.
