The process for receiving Serial Numbered items is almost the same as that for Lot numbered items.
You need to click the Lot/Serial No. link on the Receiving screen to begin with.
This will open the Map Lot/Serial No. screen, with as many rows as quantity received shown in the Item Details window. This process is automated. The Serial Numbers will not be visible on this screen, as they are yet to be assigned
Click Save and you will be taken back to the Receiving screen. Click Receive and the Serial Numbers get assigned, with a unique Receipt created for each unit received. The serial number for each Receipt is shown.
General Ledger transactions – Serialized Inventory
It would be interesting to note that while there was only a single order line in the Purchase Order, it gets split into as many units as received with a unique serial number in the Supplier Invoice, before is approved.
However, these get merged into one order line once the Invoice is approved.
An individual Inventory transaction is created for every receiving line
This is the accounting entry for every individual shipment receipt
Consequently, as many GL transactions are created for the Purchase Invoice
