to track each item. Typically, small items that are all the same may not need to
have any Track Bys selected. Items such as printers may need to be tracked by
Serial Number, so returns and maintenance can be properly tracked. Medical
supplies or food may need to be tracked by Date Code and/or Lot.
If you choose to track by one or more of these fields, you will be prompted to
complete them each time you perform a transaction, such as check out, move,
remove, add, etc., on this item. For example, if you are tracking item 2233 -VZ
Laptop by serial number. Now you want to move a quantity of 5 of this item from
on location to another. You will be prompted to enter a unique and valid serial
number for each laptop you are moving so that your inventory can be accurately
tracked.
Tracked By options cannot be changed after you add inventory to the item.
If you need to change a tracked by item, you will have to remove all
inventory from that item, delete the item and create a new record.
