Serial Number Tracking
Serial number tracking identifies an individual unit rather than a batch. It can matter for warranty, equipment history and returns.
Trace the same unit through three movements
Follow one serial-numbered item from receipt to delivery and return.
- Dat/IN/00001 — Receive one unit: Vendors → Dat/Stock.
- Dat/OUT/00003 — Deliver the same unit: Dat/Stock → Customers.
- Dat/IN/00002 — Return the delivered unit: Customers → Dat/Stock; linked to Dat/OUT/00003.
Select the report to read the three operation references, serial and quantities at full size.
Inspect the Done return and its original delivery link. The return moves one unit back into stock.
A worked example
A practical example to make the concept clear.
| Step | Illustrative record and result |
|---|---|
| Starting record | Receipt IN-DEMO-07: one device identified by example serial SN-DEMO-0001, supplier → Stock. |
| Change or calculation | Delivery OUT-DEMO-07: the same SN-DEMO-0001 moves from Stock to customer Cedar Workshop. |
| Meaning and exception | Return RET-DEMO-07 links back to OUT-DEMO-07 for that serial. |
Why it matters
Receive several identical units, sell one and locate its original supplier and customer records. The current Datrylo acceptance does not yet prove end-to-end serial tracking in the exact release offered.
