Change Serial # Flag

This utility provides access to update the Serial# flag in Sales Inventory as that program does not allow access to this field in Change mode.
This prevents someone from accidentally turning it off, or accidentally turning it on without setting up the appropriate serial numbers.

PRODUCT NUMBER

Enter the sales product number to be changed, or look it up in the Inventory Search window.

Note: Rental products and sales products that are setup as Primary or Secondary sales parts can not be flagged as serialized.

SERIAL NUMBER

Check this box to activate serial number tracking for this item, so that each unit is identified with a serial number.
Uncheck this box if individual units of this sales part should not be serialized.

TIME OF SALE

This field is skipped if the Serial Number field is not checked.

Serialized sales items can be flagged to require that the specific serial numbers be entered and assigned to the product quantities at the point of sale or when first moved, rather than at the time of inventory receiving.

e.g. A shipment of 30 serialized sales items is received in the warehouse, and rather than typing in each serial number at receiving, the serial numbers are logged when the specific items are sold or used.

Uncheck this box if the serial numbers are always registered when this item is received in inventory.
Check if your firm prefers to log the serial numbers as this sales item is used or sold.

Note: If Time of Sale is set for a product, serial numbers cannot be entered in receiving.
However they can still be entered manually in Sales Inventory if required.

TRACK METER USAGE

This field is skipped if the Serial Number field is not checked.

This flag can be set to track meter unit usage that is applied to serialized sales parts when they are used on a Work Order on a Non-Bulk Metered Rental product. The meter readings of the associated Non-Bulk Rental product are used to determine the useful life expectancy of the serialized part.
The tracking flag and any meter tracking details can be viewed in Inventory Inquiry.
Serialized Sales Meter Usage can be used to report the usage tracking details and to evaluate the life expectancy of a serialized sales part.

Uncheck this box if this serialized sales parts is not linked to meter usage of a Non-Bulk Metered Rental product.
Check this box to used the meter reading for an associated Non-Bulk Metered Rental product to track usage of this serialized sales part.

This may be over-typed as required.
