Many serial numbers include a barcode that contains the serial number or VIN. Product labels that contain the serial number barcode can be printed from EBMS to facilitate the following functions.
Serial numbers can be selected within EBMS by scanning a serial number, internal stock number, or VIN number barcode. The following processes can be accomplished using the EBMS scanning modes:
Add or ship serialized items within a sales order or invoice: $S
Add serialized items consumed within a manufacturing batch: Manufacturing batch dialog must be open.
Add or transfer serialized items within a warehouse transfer: $W
Add or transfer serialized items within a job transfer: $H
Add serialized items within a rental contract as a rental or as a consumed item: The rental dialog must be open.
Check out and return serialized items within a rental contract. Review [Sales] Rental > Scanning Serialized Rental Equipment for details.
The $R prefix is used to populate the Serial Number within various documents. Use the document prefix listed above to open a document. Review Barcodes > Purchasing a Barcode Scanner for programming details.
