Assigning Serial Numbers
Under serial number control, you must specify a serial number to each item you issue or receive. In the Serial Number Entry window you choose serial numbers for the item quantity to issue or receive. You can view this window only when you establish serial number control for the item you issue or receive.
To assign serial numbers to the item quantity to issue or receive:
1. Choose the Lot/Serial button from a transaction window. The Serial Number Entry window appears displaying the item and transaction information.
The Qty field displays the total quantity you entered for the transaction. The Qty Entered field displays the quantity for the item that you have assigned to the serial number.
2. Indicate whether to specify one or more ranges of serial numbers for each item or lot quantity, or whether to specify an individual serial number for each.
If you select a range of serial numbers, each item in the line item or lot quantity is assigned to a serial number within the range.
3. Enter a serial number for an individual item, or enter a value to begin a range of serial numbers.
4. If you are using a serial number range, enter a value to end the range. The default is the last serial number calculated from the starting serial number and transaction quantity.
Note: The maximum valid contiguous serial number is calculated. If an existing serial number is encountered within the range, the range ends before that number, and you can respecify the beginning serial number for calculating the remaining serial numbers.
5. Choose Done to return to the Transaction Lines window.
