Serial number processing
Entering Serial Numbers on the Transaction Line
Serial numbers can be entered directly on the order entry form against the transaction line. This only relates to issuing serial controlled items from inventory.
You can enter serial numbers on a transaction line in the following ways:
- Single entry -Enter one number in the Serial Number From field.
- Sequential range entry - Enter the start number in the Serial Number From field and the end number in the Serial Number To field. For example, Item Code A SER/001 to SER/010.
- Non-sequential range entry - Enter multiple serial numbers.
- Automatic allocation - Serial numbers are automatically allocated by the system.
As serial numbers can be entered manually, they are compliant with bar code reader systems. Standard bar code readers can scan the number and then this is input directly into the related field on the entry form.
