When a quantity of a serial-tracked item is added to inventory through
a receipt, you must add new serial numbers for each item received. This
is handled on 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.
-
On the Serial Numbers tab, the target
quantity and generate quantity 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
to generate and move to inventory.
-
Create new serial numbers, up to the quantity of the item. Use
any of these methods:
- In the grid, enter new serial numbers. Use any prefix and field
format, up to 30 characters.
- Generate a range of serial numbers by clicking Generate.
The system starts the generated serial number list by using the
next sequential number, and continues generating numbers until
the item's quantity is reached. You can then change the generated
serial numbers. (The Generate button
is enabled only if the Expand S/N
field is selected in the Inventory Parameters
form.)
- Use a combination of generated and manually created serial
numbers.
-
In the grid, select or deselect the serial numbers to use for the
transaction. If you deselect a row in the grid, it is deleted.
-
When you process the transaction, the selected serial numbers are
included with the transaction.
-
To specify other information about a new serial number, use the
Serial Numbers form.
