	<AimSection><Paragraph>In the low volume scenario, registering serial numbers means that you allocate a serial number to the serialized item listed on a particular warehouse receipt.</Paragraph>
	</AimSection>
	<GeneralSection><List><ListIntro>To register serial numbers for purchased serialized items that you receive in the warehouse, you can take one of the following steps in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3112s000" role="session">Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000)</GUIRef> session:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Manually enter a serial number in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3112s000#serial.number" role="formfield">Serial Number</GUIRef> field.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3112s000#serial.number" role="formfield">Serial Number</GUIRef> field, zoom to the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/ltc/whltc5100m000" role="session">Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000)</GUIRef> session to select a serial number.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3112s000#option.generate.serials" role="formcommand">Generate Serials</GUIRef> on the toolbar of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3112s000" role="session">Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000)</GUIRef> session to generate a serial number.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>As a result, the serial number is entered in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd4501m000" role="session">Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000)</GUIRef> session and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/ltc/whltc5100m000" role="session">Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000)</GUIRef> session. After you confirm the receipt, the serial number is linked to the item of the receipt line and stored in inventory. You can then view the item/serial number combination in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/ltc/whltc5100m000" role="session">Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000)</GUIRef> session and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd4501m000" role="session">Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>For manufactured serialized items that you receive in the warehouse, the serial number entered in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef> is automatically filled on the receipt line. If you confirm and put away the receipt line, the item and the serial number is stored in inventory. To register serial numbers in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef> for serialized items that you produce, see <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000360" role="manual">Serialized items in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef>
			</Link>.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>For customer items received for repair or overhaul, the serial number is entered by the customer on the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/ltc.tord#maint.sales" role="enum">Maintenance Sales</GUIRef> order.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>For issues from the warehouse, you are not required to register serial numbers, because SSA ERP allocates serial numbers from inventory based on the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000340" role="glossary">first in, first out</Link> or <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000341" role="glossary">last in, first out</Link> outbound methods and updates the inventory accordingly.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>However, on the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000361" role="glossary">picking list</Link> and/or the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000354" role="glossary">outbound advice</Link>, you can change the serial number that SSA ERP allocated. To change the serial number on the outbound advice or the picking list is useful if, for example, the serial number generated by SSA ERP refers to an item located at the bottom of the stack. In such cases, you can replace this number by a serial number that refers to an item at the top of the stack that is easier to pick.</Paragraph>
