Serial & Batch Number Tracking

Serial Number Tracking Software

The CAPITAL Business Manager Serial/Batch and Special Property Tracking component is possibly the most powerful and flexible multi-dimensional stock property tracking system ever built into an accounting and business management system!

Full Cycle Tracking

Serial number tracking and batch number tracking may be traced from start to end of any stock handling process. So it is possible to start tracking serial numbers when you need to. This can be before your stock arrives, at delivery, when customers place orders, during dispatch or invoicing, and even after the sale is completed.

Flexible Assignments

Serial numbers may be unique for the entire system, for a specific stock item or use batch or lot numbers to track non-unique codes. It is possible to track items by size, colour or style. Shoes, clothes, furnishings, furniture and other items that may be available in various fabrics and other formats, and can all be tracked. For example, a stock item available in nine colours would often need to be entered into a system using nine separate product codes. For 50 products of this type there would be the need to enter and manage 50 x 9 = 450 additional product codes. By adding a colour property to that stock group, only 50 product codes need to be managed. Various special property options are included. Items can be tracked by warranty expiry date or pricing from multiple suppliers can be tracked. (Even if you have never purchased from those alternative suppliers.)

Portional Unit Tracking

The Portional Pricing Property is suited to the timber and steel industries where it is often necessary to track products by size and length. It is possible to view the various sizes a product is available in and ‘cut’ items into smaller lengths. Lengths that drop below a specified minimum size can be transferred to scrap automatically.

Custom Property Tracking

Perhaps one of the most innovative aspects of the Special Property Tracking System is the ability to define your own properties. CAPITAL can manage up to 250 separate methods of tracking. Any single product can be assigned up to 40 of these properties at once. So it is possible to track the movements of your inventory by asset number, hardware revision, version, owner or whatever properties you wish to define.

Multi-Level Tracking

Tracking properties may also be arranged in 'parent-child' or hierarchical relationships. So a particular batch or lot can prompt for colour, or a particular size selection can prompt for colour or fabric, to an unlimited number of levels.

Stock Kits

Serial numbers are stock ‘kit aware’. Users will be prompted to enter serial, batch or special properties for all applicable items within kits.

Reporting

Stock Quantity Reports within the Stock Control system may optionally list serial number and/or batch number and special properties. Sales Analysis may include property analysis.

Size/Colour/Style

These are included as standard pre-defined properties. No need to define separate product codes for items that have colour, size or style differences.

Control Uniqueness

Serial numbers may be specified as requiring uniqueness relative to all other serial numbers in the system, or may be limited to uniqueness based on a particular product code.

Force Allotment

Users may optionally be forced to allocate all items to serial numbers or special properties during time of sale or may defer or skip entry of that information.

Flexibility

Allocate serial or batch numbers or special properties prior to receipts of good, on goods receipt, at time of sale, or after sale has occurred.

Total Integration

The CAPITAL serial and batch tracking system works with all areas of the accounting system that deal with stock control. Including: Invoicing Sales Orders Back Orders Purchase Orders Stock Receipting Automatic Purchasing Service Management Hire Management Stock Kits Assemblies Quotations Multi-Location Stock Control Transfers Lay-Bys Warehouse Management

Historical Tracking

Keeps all serial numbers received and sold on record for a complete tracing history. You can access serial numbers and batch numbers of items sold by date, purchaser, transaction number and stock item. Users may locate when particular items were received, transferred or sold and where unsold items are currently located in inventory.

Optional Display

Serial and batch numbers and special properties may optionally be displayed on the transactions of your business software, with or without additional explanatory text.
Easy Scan & Import If you need to incorporate bar code scanner technology into your storeroom or warehouse, CAPITAL can read and scan data files containing product codes and serial numbers or other products. During stock receipting by warehousing staff, quantity, serial number and product code information can be scanned into mobile reader devices and then downloaded into CAPITAL. Administration or dispatch staff can then select from the available list of serial numbers when picking and packing goods.
