About Serialized Items

Updated by Cheryl Wallace

Serialized items are unique assets, sometimes having serial numbers, that are tracked individually. Service and preventative maintenance can only be tracked for serialized inventory.  Each part number with the inventory type of serialized can have multiple serialized items.  

Information stored on serialized item records include the unique ID, any alternate IDs, general identifying data inherited from the part number, a list of contents in the case of a kit, purchase and rental information, notes and file attachments, the complete transaction history for the item and service requirements and history.
