Serial Number Location

Edit

What this guide covers

Looking up where each serialised unit currently is and viewing its move history. Serial Number Locations is a search-driven report; you do not move units from this page — moves go through the picking dialog or a move order. The one write it allows is correcting a mis-captured serial number.

For the bins themselves see Warehouse Locations. For aggregate product-by-bin see Product Locations.

Where to find it

Open Locations → SerialNumber Location. The page title is "Serial Number Locations". The same look-up is also embedded in the picking dialog when you scan a serial.

Who can do what

  • Report viewer — the menu entry appears for holders of SerialNumberReport, MOVE_ORDER_ADMIN or SALES_ORDERS_ADMIN. Search, view the current bin, view the move log, export to Excel.

  • Serial corrector (SerialNumberCorrect) — fix a typo or mis-scan on a unit still in stock (see below).

  • Site admin (ADMIN) — full access.

There is no control to change a serial's location from this page. Moves always go through the picking / move-order workflow so the audit trail stays clean.

Searching

One search box: "Search serial / product / location...". It matches the serial number (exact or partial), the product code or description, and the location name. There is no status filter — the report lists units currently in stock.

The Excel button exports the current list.

Reading a row

  • SN — the serial number.

  • Product — code and description.

  • Location — warehouse, then area · location.

  • Actions — the Move log icon, and (for correctors) a pencil to correct the serial.

The move log

Click Move log on a row to open the Move Log dialog — every historical move for this serial, in order:

  • Type — the movement type, with its date.

  • From — source area and location.

  • To — destination area and location.

  • Qty — quantity moved, with "SN: …" underneath.

This is the audit trail — read it instead of trying to reconstruct what happened from work-order timelines. Every move (collect, dispatch, drop-off, scrap, sale) lands here in chronological order.

Correcting a serial number

If a serial was captured wrongly (a mis-scan on receipt, a typo) and the unit is still in stock, a holder of SerialNumberCorrect can click the pencil on the row. The Correct serial number dialog shows the product and the current serial; scan or type the correct serial, give a reason (for example "mis-scan on receipt") and click Save correction.

Correction is local-only. It is blocked for serials that Unleashed already knows about, and every correction is recorded as a zero-quantity SERIAL_CORRECTION move so the history stays intact.

Tips and gotchas

  • A serial in multiple locations is a data-integrity bug. A serialised unit should never appear in two bins at once; if it does, contact RnD with the serial number — it indicates a missed move-completion or a duplicate-creation event.

  • To move a unit, pick it from Warehouse Locations or Product Locations, or raise a Move Orders request. This page only tells you where it is.

  • Sales-order-allocated serials cannot be picked while the allocation holds. Release the allocation on the Sales Order side if you really need to redirect.

  • Units that have left stock (sold, scrapped, sent out) no longer appear in the list; their history is still in the Serial Number Move report under Warehouse → Reports (MOVE_ORDER_ADMIN).
