Update Serial Numbers – An Overview

Activity overview

Serial number adjustment can be done only for items having zero quantity adjustment. Serial numbering of items is highly prevalent in discrete manufacturing industries. For example, airlines industry, automobile industry uses serial numbering widely for costly items like engine, shafts, etc. Serial Numbering enables easy traceability of items by pinpointing the exact physical location and condition of an item. This page is launched only if atleast one of the items in the “Edit Adjustment” main page is serial controlled. Else, the system displays an error message.

This adjustment is required when the serial numbers physically available and those displayed by the system do not match. In such cases, this page allows you to add serial numbers that are available in the warehouse and remove those that are not physically present from the system stock. For example, if the adjustment quantity is specified as +10 to make the system stock equal to the physical stock of 100, you need to specify 10 new serial numbers. However, if you detect that of the 10 new serial numbers added, 5 are physically present but another 5 are not, then you must delete the 5 serial numbers not physically available and add 15 new serial numbers to balance the system and physical inventory count.

If the adjustment type is PI based or CC sheet based, then system retrieves all the serial numbers saved in the main page for the selected number from the adjustment transaction and sets the status as “For addition”. If the serial numbers are to be deleted to perform adjustment for the selected line number, the system sets the status of the serial number as “For deletion”.  The retrieved details cannot be modified for PI based and CC sheet based items.

If the adjustment type is “General”, the system retrieves all the serial numbers for the selected line number in the page that are available in the warehouse zone/bin combination and sets the status of the serial number as “In stock”. If new serial numbers have been added for the selected line number, then the status is set as “For addition”. The serial numbers to be marked for deletion are set to “For deletion” status. These details can however be modified using this page.

The adjustment quantity is calculated as follows for each of the three adjustment types:

Adjustment quantity = No. of serial numbers newly added – No. of serial numbers marked for deletion, if the adjustment type is positive.

Adjustment quantity = No. of serial numbers marked for deletion – No. of serial numbers newly added, if the adjustment type is negative.

Adjustment quantity = No. of serial numbers marked for deletion = No. of serial numbers newly added, if it is zero quantity or value adjustment.
