Serial Number Movement Single Dialog Workspace

Use this workspace to enter information that is related to the individual serial numbers when you create manual inventory changes for items that have serial number control in the Inventory Change workspace.

This workspace also displays serial number information for inventory changes that Maconomy creates automatically from sales orders, item purchase orders, and credit orders. However, you cannot manually change the information on such transactions here; you must enter it in the Serial Number Entry or Serial Number Receipt workspace, depending on the entry type in question.

Serial number entry for shipping in this workspace is mandatory for items that have the serial number control type Full Ser. No. Reg. or Serial No. Reg. at Shipping set up in the Item Information Card workspace. For receipts, serial number entry is mandatory for items that have the serial number control type Full Ser. No. Reg. or Serial No. Reg. at Receipt. For transfers, serial number entry is mandatory for items with any of the previous control types. If serial number entry is mandatory for an item in the transaction, you cannot approve the transaction until you have entered a serial number for every single unit of the item in this workspace. If you are shipping a serial number that you have not created in Maconomy—for example, because the item does not use the Ser. No. Reg. at Receipt serial number control method-—you must create a line with the serial number in the Serial Number Information workspace before you can enter the number on a transaction for shipment or transfer.

You typically provide serial numbers that are related to shipments or transfers in this workspace when the items are shipped, but you can also do it at the time of entry, if you are planning to ship particular serial numbers. You can specify some of the serial number units at the time of entry and enter the rest when the items are picked and moved to the shipping location. You enter serial numbers that are related to items in receipts when the items are received.

The Serial Number Movements tab displays information about the inventory change; in the Serial Number Movements sub-tab you enter information about the individual serial numbers. You can also specify where the items should be moved to for shipment or where they are received, depending on whether you are working with a shipment, transfer, or receipt.

If the transaction is a shipment or transfer, and you are using a picking list to move the items to the shipping location, the warehouse personnel can enter the serial numbers that they move on the picking list. This can result in Maconomy automatically creating serial number lines in this workspace.

Inventory changes of the change type Inventory Count require a specification of the difference between the stock volume and the number of items counted.
