Automatic
Serial
Numbers
(Does not
apply to
WaspNest)
You can choose to have the program automatically create and assign serial
numbers each time you add inventory for this item (whether manually using the
Add Inventory feature or by Receiving Inventory). For example, you create the
item "2233 - VZ Laptop" and select to track by serial number. You the enable
automatic serial numbers by performing the steps described here. You choose
1000 as your starting number. Now, when you add inventory to this item,
InventoryControl will automatically assign serial number to each item starting with
1000. If you add inventory of 500 to this item, the serial numbers assign by
InventoryControl will be 1000 - 1500.
To enable Automatic Serial Numbers:
 Click the button to the right of the Serial Number check box. The Auto
Serial Number Options screen is displayed:
 Check
the Auto Increment Serial Numbers checkbox to have the
software automatically assign incremented serial numbers.
 Enter
a Starting Number. This number determines the number at which
the serial number sequence starts. Since this option is applied at the
Item level, each Item in the program may have its own unique series of
serial numbers.
 Click
OK to accept your entries.

This section contains check boxes which act much like the Tracked By boxes, but
contains a different set of fields (PO, Supplier and Customer) which are always
available for use, even if they are not required. For example, if the option is not
enabled for the Supplier Code field, a user adding inventory can enter a value for
Supplier Code if he knows it or skip entering a value if he doesn't. If this option is
enabled, a value for Supplier Code is required to complete the transaction.
Cost
Cost specifies the amount your company paid to get this item into inventory. This
is an optional tool to help you track your average cost. Cost handling in
InventoryControl is designed to show you the average cost and current value of
your inventory. You can use this cost information for other purposes as well,
such as determining pre-tax and purchase order totals and receiving totals.
This amount represents your cost for purchasing one of the stocking units for this
item. If one Barcode Laser Scanner costs $300.00 you will enter 300 into the
cost field. If you have items in your inventory that are sold in fractional quantities,
