• This screen will show you the serial numbers already added or received, their cost and received date, their sell date, invoice and price if applicable. There may also be lines with a ‘blank’ Serial number where the ‘override’ ability was used.

• This screen is sorted by numeric/alpha by default with blank (override) items at the top of the list. You can change the order using F4 [Sort] - to review by Serial Number, Received date, Order number, Sold date, Invoice number, Credited sales, Credited orders, ID.  Reselecting the same sort criteria will sort it in the reverse order.

           Important: You must F12 Accept Details on this screen for any changes to be saved

Adding Serial Number Details

           NB: You MUST F12 [Accept Details] on the Maintain Serial Numbers screen to save the changes. However, you may choose to add other transactions details first.

• If you know, and want to add, the Order details that this item (serial number) was originally received on use the F5 [Edit Trans] option. You will be presented with a submenu to select a Purchase Order, Sale Transaction, Credit Order or Credit Sale Transaction and then a list of transactions of that type which included this item (serial number).
• Highlight the order you want this serial number attached to, press Enter* (the line will go orange) then F12 [Accept Details]. NB: Press Enter again to unselect if you selected the wrong line.

         NB: * If you do not press Enter you will be prompted

• F12 [Accept Details] and some of the order history will be displayed beside the Serial number.

Editing Serial Numbers

• To edit a serial number (e.g., to fix an incorrectly entered number) or to add the number if ‘override’ was used previously, highlight the appropriate line and press F2 [Edit Serial #].  Scan or type in the correct details and press Enter.

• To edit transactional details on an existing (added) serial number (e.g. to add the sales or order details) highlight the appropriate line and press F5 [Edit Trans]. You will be presented with a list of transaction types you are associate to this serial number (Purchase Order, Sale Transaction, Credit Order or Credit Sale Transaction)

• After selecting the required transaction type option (1-4) you will be presented with a list of transactions (of this type) on which this product was included.

      NB: As you highlight each transaction you can see how many and which serial numbers have already been associated with this particular transaction.  

           NB: The transaction lines are color coded: Green shows the transaction that the serial number you have selected is currently associated to (there can only be one).  Grey shows that the transaction has its fully allocated quantity of serial numbers (there are no spare slots to allocate the selected serial number), Black means that these transactions have spare spaces (you could allocate your selected serial number to this transaction if it’s the right one) and Red means that the transaction has too many serial numbers allocated.

• To associate this transaction to the serial number press ENTER and the line will highlight orange, then F12 [Accept Details]    
  NB: You MUST F12 [Accept Details] again (at the Maintain Serial numbers screen) to save the changes.

• To remove transactional details on an existing serial number highlight the appropriate line and press F6 [Remove Trans]
