O/E Serial/Lot Numbers Screen

Overview

Use the O/E Serial/Lot Numbers screen to view serial and lot numbers allocated to a serialized or lotted item.

Serial Numbers

Serial numbers are used to track individual items. Each serial number must be unique to one specific item.

Example: An electronics retailer can use serial numbers to record sales of items that have warranties.

Lot Numbers

Lot numbers are used to track groups of items. Unlike serial numbers, a lot number can be allocated to multiple items.

Example: A food distribution company can use lot numbers to record purchases and sales of unique batches of product.
