Using Serial Control

The Serial Control module provides a means of recording and tracking items by serial number all through the purchasing, manufacturing, and shipping cycle. For each user-assigned serial number the serial control file records the purchase order or work order from which the serial number originated, the cost, an optional expiration date, and a notes section.

Inventory items are individually designated to require serial control. If so, whenever that item number is received through purchasing, issued to work orders, completed, adjusted, or shipped, a serial number will be requested for each unit.

Complete serial number traceability is achieved via the Serial History report, which provides serial number transaction history via a range of transaction types and other selection criteria and the Serial Traceability Report which shows all activity.

The Serial Availability report shows the available inventory by the serial numbers on hand.

The Serial Configuration program allows definition of the structure of the serial number for an item, item class or one set of configuration for all items so that the next “X” serial numbers in the series can be generated without manually typing them in.
