Overview: Serial Number Report

The Serial Numbers Report tracks outbound products, the orders they shipped in, and the date shipped. The report can be sorted by date range, store, and, if you're a 3PL, by customer.

A serial number can only be added to a product when packing the item. After the item ships and a serial number is scanned or entered, it's available in the serial number report. The report records all the scanned serial numbers but not when the feature was enabled.

Common Uses

  • Audit serialized shipments for compliance
  • Investigate when/where a specific serial was shipped.
  • Reconcile serial capture processes across warehouses and clients (3PLs only).
