Serial Number input Before Receiving

ryanbehnken

Specific use case of selling serialized items before they are received into stock. 

My client sells serialized items that offer long lead times and thus sell what they have on purchase order. Specifically, they sell a particular unit with a particular serial number, and gaining visibility into this would be a huge planning and fulfillment resource. 

The recommendation is to allow visibility of serial numbers on Purchase Order in order to place a Sales order for a particular serialized item. 

They sell almost all items using the Special - Serial Number method, serial numbers are critical in their business, especially with the nature of their high-value individual products. Right now, in the system, Serial Numbers can only be assigned and tracked after the products have been authorized during the "Receive" stage of the PO. It would be much more beneficial if serial numbers could be assigned/tracked prior to the product being received.

    This is a valuable suggestion, Ryan! Allowing visibility of serial numbers on Purchase Orders before receiving the items could greatly enhance planning and fulfillment processes. It would definitely help businesses manage their serialized inventory more effectively. Looking forward to seeing this feature implemented!

    No one please click on the link from Tuan Mark. It's a botted response. 

    On Ryan's feature request, allowing visibility of serial numbers on Purchase Order to place a Sales order for a particular serialized item is a super valuable feature addition!

    Please bump this up.

    Great idea. Visibility of serial numbers at the Purchase Order stage would provide much better planning capabilities for businesses dealing with long lead times and serialized products.
