Managing global serial numbers in Sage X3 V12 (Part I)

1 minute read time.

Sage X3 version 12 has a new feature for managing serial numbers that are received or issued in transactions. This new feature allows for one stock line to contain several serial numbers and it increases performance and productivity.

At the product level, there is a new option called Global Received/Issued for serial number management where one stock line can contain several serial numbers.

Additionally, now stock movements have a range of serial numbers available with the same stock characteristics.

With this new enhancement, the serial number is no longer stored in the STOCK table, instead serial numbers are linked to stock line by adding a stock chronological field called STOCOU in the new STOSER table. The STOJOU contains a range of serial numbers and the new table STOSER contains the serial number in pending process.

Some rules to keep in mind are:

Negative stock is not allowed.

Serial numbers are not managed on a put-away orders.

In subcontract BOMs, serial number management is not allowed on the component level.

Serial numbers are not identified on detailed allocation on orders, work orders, Sage Sales tax orders, or project tasks.

Serial numbers are identified on detailed allocations on preparation, delivery, and supplier return.

There is an automatic determination of serial numbers in the automatic stock issue.
