Procedure documentationUpdating Serial Numbers for an Item

 

You can update the details of existing serial numbers with reference to specific items, subsequent to the definition or use of the serial numbers in documents.

When you update serial numbers in inventory documents, SAP Business One maintains a link between the document and its serial numbers, updates the defined serial numbers' inventory documents, and changes the status of the items to unavailable.

For information about how to find and update a specific serial number without reference to a specific item, see Viewing and Updating Serial Numbers.
