After you set up or open a serialized inventory item on the General tab of the Maintain Inventory Items window, the Serial Numbers tab becomes available. You can do several things on the Serial Numbers tab. Let's take a look.
What can I do on the Serial Numbers tab?
- Search for Serial Numbers--You can use the Find button to search the list of serial numbers for a specific number. Enter the serial number that you are looking for in the field and click Find. Sage 50 will search the list and highlight the serial number if a match is found. If no match is found, Sage 50 will display a message telling you that the search is complete.
- View Serial Numbers associated with this item--You can view all of the serial numbers that have been entered for this item. The list can be sorted by Serial Number, Status, or Warranty. To sort the list, click the appropriate button at the top of the list. The serial number list can be filtered by status. To filter the serial number list, select the appropriate status from the View drop-down list. The statuses are: Available, Sold, Adjusted, Returned, In Progress (Sage 50 Quantum Accounting), and Error.
- Set up warranty information--If you provide a warranty with this item, you can set up the warranty period here. Select the This item is covered under warranty check box and then enter the warranty period. You can set up the warranty period in terms of days, months, or years.
- Open the Serial Number History Report--When you are on the Serial Numbers tab, you can select the Detail button to open the Serial Number History report. The report only lists information for the serial number that is selected (highlighted). To open the Serial Number History report, select a serial number from the list and then select the Detail button.
