Serial numbers play a vital role in the efficient management of inventory and accurate record-keeping within Logiwa. By tracking serial numbers, businesses can ensure effective product tracking, identify faulty items, and streamline warranty management processes. This article provides an overview of the usage of serial numbers in the Logiwa system. It covers topics such as the setup of serial number scanning, how they show up during operations, and their tracking within the system.
Serial Number Tracking is supported in Receiving & Packing/Shipment processes in Logiwa IO. In other operation types (such as Transfer, Count, Replenishment, Picking, etc.), only the product's SKU or Barcode will be scanned to complete the operations. The locations of the serial numbers are not being tracked.
NOTE: Serial number tracking is supported with UOM pack types only.
Serial Number Reports show the received and shipped serial numbers and calculate the serial numbers based on this report in the warehouse.

Transfer Operations
Transfer Operations
During transfer operations, such as putaway and picking, our system does not require the scanning of serial numbers. This is done in order to streamline the process and increase efficiency, as tracking serial numbers during transfer operations requires additional time and effort from employees.
