Changes and New Features in Inventory Control
Fully Integrated Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking
In version 5.6, Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking is fully integrated in
Sage Accpac programs. You no longer need to purchase and install Sage
Accpac Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking programs separately. Now,
you require a single license that lets you:
• Create and reconcile serial or lot numbers.
• Receive serialized or lotted items from vendors.
• Make adjustments involving serialized or lotted items.
• Use serialized or lotted items in assemblies.
• Use serialized or lotted items for internal usage.
• Take physical inventory counts of serialized or lotted items.
• Ship serialized or lotted items to customers.
• Transfer serialized or lotted items to other locations.
• Register serial numbers for customer warranties.
• Update warranties on serialized or lotted items.
• Recall and release lotted items.
• Release lots from quarantine.
• Split and combine lots.
Before you can perform these tasks, you must set up items in Inventory
Control as serialized and/or lotted items. You must also:
• Define serial and lot number formats.
• Specify global default settings for serialized and lotted items.
All the icons for managing serial numbers and lot numbers are
conveniently located in existing Inventory Control folders, where you
expect to find them, rather than in separate Serialized Inventory and Lot
Tracking program folders.
