MRPeasy

Serial Numbers

The Serial numbers functionality provides the ability for using and tracking parts and products with unique serial numbers (S/N).

The Serial numbers functionality is for tracking every item individually. By default, MRPeasy tracks all items by batch already, so if tracking of Batch No./Lot No. is required, this function is not needed to use.

This functionality can be enabled at Settings -> System settings -> Professional functions -> Serial numbers, after which

• the section Stock -> Serial numbers becomes available.
• for tracked items:
  - the section Serial number becomes available in stock lots details and Manufacturing Orders.
  - the item report Serial Numbers becomes available.
  - actions with serial numbers can be reported.
  - serial number labels can be printed.
• custom fields for serial numbers (displayed in the Stock -> Serial numbers section) become available.
