Overview

This KB article will provide the user with useful information about the Inventory tab for a location profile.

Information

• The Inventory tab can be used to specify sequence numbers for inventory such as the next serial number for serialized items, and the document numbers for inventory adjustments, stock transfers, and work orders.
• Every location can have separate serial numbers for items and sequence numbers for inventory documents.
• The serial and sequence numbers specified for the location of the login location/sublocation are used.
• If serial/sequence numbers are not specified in the Location profile, the numbers specified in the default location are used.

While editing an existing location, by default, 100000 will be the sequence number for all the fields in this tab, as shown in the figure below:
