Prerequisites

You have entered the counted quantities for the items managed by serial numbers.

Procedure

  1. Place the cursor in the rows of items managed by serial numbers and open the Serial Number Posting window in one of the following ways:

    • From the Goto menu, choose Serial and Batch Selection.

    • Place the cursor in the Counted Qty field, and press Ctrl and Tab.

  2. In the table in the Available Serial Numbers section, choose the serial numbers that you do not find in warehouses after the counting, and choose the right arrow button to move them to the Serial Numbers Difference section.

    SAP Business One marks these items in red and issues them from stock after you add the inventory posting document.

  3. If the serial numbers that you find in warehouses during counting do not exist in the system, that is, you do not see them in the Available Serial Numbers section, choose the Create button to create new serial numbers.
