Goods Received - Edit - Auto Allocate Serial Numbers

Select this option if you want Micronet to automatically allocate the serial numbers entered on the receipt to pre-allocated backorders, enPOS orders or Micronet Job Costing (MJC) jobs. For example, if you have a pre-allocation from a POS order to a purchase order, then the serial number on the POS order would be updated during the goods received process.

If you don't have this option toggled on, Micronet will allocate serial numbers using FIFO (i.e. the first receipted stock will be allocated first).

  1. Display the Goods Received screen.

Refer to "Goods Received - Menu Options".

  1. Select EDIT | AUTO ALLOCATE SERIAL NUMBERS.

 

Technical Tip

This menu option toggles auto allocation on and off. A tick appears next to the menu option when auto allocation is toggled on. In that case, choosing this menu option removes the tick and toggles auto allocation off.

If you have this option toggled on, when you post the goods received batch Micronet will automatically allocate the serial numbers from the batch to enPOS orders, and to MJC jobs where the AUTOMATICALLY POST TO JOBS option is toggled on (refer to "Goods Received - Edit - Automatically Post to Jobs").

For backorders and MJC jobs where the AUTOMATICALLY POST TO JOBS option is not toggled on, the serial numbers will be allocated the next time you run the Allocation from Purchasing/Transfers program (refer to "Sales - Allocation From Purchasing / Transfers").
