Serial # Requirements
For quality control and recall purposes you may want to track the serial numbers of your stock. The following choices are available on each stock record.
Not Required |
Choose this if you do not require a stock serial# to be used. This is the default setting. |
On Purchase |
This option will require a serial# to be entered for each stock item on receipt of the purchase order and a serial# to be selected for each stock item on sale of the goods within a job. In most cases, you would choose On Purchase if you require tracking of serial number. |
On Sell |
This option will require a serial# to be added for each stock item on sale of the goods within a job. |
|
You can only select serial numbers for Depleting and Special stock. You cannot select Serial# on Purchase for a stock item where you have not indicated that you buy or manufacture it. You cannot select Serial# On Sell for a stock item which is not ticked as This Stock I Sell.
Note: Once stock has transactions against it, you cannot change the Serial# settings. |
