    Serial numbers are used to track individual items in transactions like goods receipt and physical inventory. A serial number uniquely identifies an item. When entering a transaction, you must provide the serial number of each item in addition to the material and quantity. Reports are available to view all movements of a specific serial number. The document then provides an example of doing a physical inventory transaction where serial numbers are activated for a material. It demonstrates entering serial numbers during the transaction and viewing them in stock overview transactions. The configuration of serial number profiles is also described, which determines how and where serial numbers will be used. Finally, an issue is noted where the same serial number could be issued more than once, not properly keeping track of items.
