What is a serial number?
A Serialised item carries all of the same standard characteristics of a Standard item. For Serialised items every individual item in stock will carry its own unique serial number. The system will record the Serial Number against the transaction when an item is sold. This allow you to associate a specific product to a sale or customer.
For example, when selling a bike you can assign the frame number as the Serial Number.
Using the ‘Who Bought What’ report to find the Serial Number
