====== Goods In with Serial Numbers ======

The ability to import an excel file of serial numbers to then be allocated to an order as part of the Goods In process is as follows.

====== Dispatch ======

  * Now that the products have been dispatched, they can now be received by the other branch.

  * Selecting this open will take you to the 'Goods In' page to complete the order.

  * You can see in this example that two of the goods being received need to have serial numbers assigned. 
  * The serial numbers can either be entered one at a time or using the serial import process.  
  * When you click on the green Serial Import option the following screen will appear

  * Please note that if a serial number had not been pre loaded or does not match a serial number in the system a message will appear alerting you to this.

The format of the file you create must be saved as a csv and the columns in the file are as follows.

No header line 

Column A is the PLU or Product number you have created in your product file. 

Column B is the serial number (Maximum character length has been set at 30)
