Assorted Inventory
If you are receiving a shipment of assorted inventory, such as T-Shirts or stuffed animals, which are slightly different in color or pattern but all use the same SKU, POSitive can distinguish each T-Shirt or stuffed animal by using Serial Numbers. When printing labels you will be prompted to describe the T-shirt and the description you type will be printed on the label.
Advanced Setup
Go to File: System: System Setup: Inventory: Serial Numbers: and activate Allow Duplicate Serial Numbers
Go to Reports: Inventory Labels which opens the editor.
Select or create a label which includes serial number information and add text in the Custom Prompt1 field.
