Add a serial article
A serial article is a special type of article of which every example is given a unique serial number.
In the article properties you can specify whether or not it is mandatory to enter a serial number. This is why it can happen that the numbers in stock do not match with the number of serial numbers. You can also use a setting in the entry layout to make the serial number mandatory.
To add a serial article:
- Go to: Order Management / Item / Article.
- Click on: New.
- Enter an Item code and a Description.
- Select the Changeable description check box if, for example, you still want to be able to change the description when adding an order.
- Select the Article group the article belongs to. Per article group, you record how Profit should process purchases and sales in Profit Financieel.
- Select the Track stock check box because you usually have or receive articles with serial numbers in stock.
- Select the Basic unit. You can record one basic unit for a serial article.
- Select the VAT rate group. Based on this, among other things, Profit determines the VAT for the invoice.
- Click on: Next.
- Select Serial number item in Article type.
- Complete the remaining fields.
- Click on: Finish.
