How it works...

You enter serial numbers in order to exclusively recognize a particular item and track it through the system. Serial numbers will help track information for a specific part; that is, when it arrived in the store, when it was received, when and to which customer it was sold, and when it was delivered. Based on requirements, the serial number can be added to the Branch/Plant when you receive the item. When you sell the item, you should enter the serial number throughout the order entry, and verify the serial number at the time of shipment confirmation. To allocate serial numbers within the branch/plant, you can access the Basic Serial Numbers (P4220) program.

There's more...

The serial number processing is an enhancement of lot processing. The system processes serial numbers for a lot, with single quantity. A single quantity lot is the lowest trackable unit.
