Thanking You.

Used to track the inventory…

Yes

Do registration during the purchase receipt and create serial numbers during registration.

and you can sell them serial number wise…

Thanks Krnathi,

The Problem Here is, it Allows me to append More Quqnity when Selling it.

Ex.

Received 10 Qty of Item A, and Splited and Registered Giving Serial Number 1…2…3…10 And Quantity 1 to each Serial Number.

Now When i make Sales Order and Select Serial number it Allows me to add More then 1 Qty. in Practical it should not allow me to do that as one Serial number shall have 1 Qty Only.

any Idea How to do this.

Thanks…

The serial number is irrelevant to the sale, it is the picking that confirms this and the picking process that handles it. If the system restricted the sales input to a quantity of one then most businesses would not buy it!

Adams, What i Want is, if I want to Sell 10 Quantity then it Must Allow me but 1 item for 1 Serial Number, not 10 items for 1 Serial Number. because we are also in retail and when customer calls for support we ask for Serial number on the Product and so that we can trace the all historical Data.

also want to Understand then what is the Purpose Serial Number in Axapta 2009…

Thanks…

Hi,

The Serial number and Batch Number is used for tracking purpose.

For the given scenario, the following setups to be done in AX.

  1. Inventory Dimension Serial number is to be activated in the Dimension group form and the corresponding dimernsion group is attached to the item Laptop.
  2. Create Number Groups (Inventory Mangement → Setup —> Dimensions —> Number Groups). Create a number group for the Item - Laptop.
  3. Open the Number Groups form, and update the following check boxes - Only for inventory Transactions, On physical update, Number sequence No, Per Qty - 1 (One) based on the given scenario
  4. Then Create a Number Sequence and attach it to the field Number Sequence

My suggestion is you can create a two item, Laptop - Final product for selling, Laptop-Raw - Purchase Item(ordered item)

and follow the above said settings and create & attach 2 different number groups.

Then while receiving material, you can do Registeration on posting packing slip.

At the time of sales delivery of items, you can do Reservation on posting Sales packing slip.

In the Transactions form, you can check which serial number has been used for selling item**.**

Thanks and regards,

Dear Praveen Kumar,

Thanks for the Reply, I had tried and it Seems, it is Working.

Once again Thank You Very Much For Reply.

Hi Adam/Pranav, we have similar situation where we want to be able to enter ‘serial number’ for the Finished Good item that we sell, so that the serial number is seen on the packing slip and invoices?

So, do we need to select “manual” in the Inventory Number Groups? - does AX allow us to manually enter "Serial Number?

we want to assign one unique serial number per finished good.

thanks for your help

Manual means you define the number, automatic would generate from the format defined (be careful you do not exceed the field size)

Hi Patrick,

Yes we can select the serial numbers manually or automatic in SO.

Yes we can view the Serial number or Batch number on the Packing slip and Invoices. For this we need to do small setups in Accounts Receivable. Goto AR > Setup > Forms > Forms setup …> go to Packing slip / Invoice (tabs) > Show in sheet field group … You can select the Batch or Serial numbers. It will display the Serial or Batch numbers when we do Packing slip or Invoice.

Hi Sarathy, thanks. I am able to display the serial numbers on the packing slip. But I don’t know where to pick serial numbers automatically.

I click on packing slip then under line tab, click on updateline and select “pick” to come to the pick screen. Here I can add the serial number one by one. but don’t know where to select them automatically. that’s the missing link.

Hi Patrick,

If serial numbers needs to get it automatically means, first of all … you need to create Serial number group (even Batch number group for Batch numbers) at Inventory management > setup > Dimensions > number groups and assign this groups at Item master. In the Dimension group, need to select Serial number check box (storage or tracking dimensions) and select Serial number control check box. In the SO… Pick the item and split the quantity & assign serial numbers and post the packing slips and invoice.

Hi " assign this groups at Item master" - where in the released products form that I need to assign this Number Group?

Thanks Adam. I can see that AX shows me a screen where I can enter the start and ending serial number per number of quantity being produced. I see a format field. what are the formats allowed like #$% etc. where can I find more info?

Hi is it possible to reverse or cancel the pick - I am getting error “Updating has been interrupted because there is an inventory transaction with the status Picked.”

Serial Number Groups are entered in the “Manage Inventory” fast tab, Serial Number Group field.

To cancel picks go to the sales order Pick/Pack tab and the Picking Journal. Then go to the registration. From here you can cancel picking lines in teh line section or all pickig from the header.

The special characters replace elements of the serial number, try some and you will see. Not sure where these are defined, technet or the help I suppose.

Hi Praveen, this works flawlessly for receiving items. The same item is going to sold to customer. I didn’t have to try to create two separate items. this is working fine in R3. Thanks a lot.
