Serial numbers for products are an additional feature available as part of the report and API subscription that provides the ability to track and control specific products in more detail. It is important to note that the entry of serial numbers is not mandatory for all products, but only for products where the customer has specified mandatory serial number tracking in the product card. This feature enables accurate tracking of product movements, which is particularly useful in accounting for high value, technically complex or unique products. If required, serial numbers can be added at goods receipt, making them easy to identify during order consolidation and increasing the overall transparency of inventory management.

Go to the product card. In the Others section, set the attribute Yes for the Serial Number field. In this way, you instruct the system that each unit of the product must be assigned a unique serial number when the product is stored in the warehouse.

To check the availability of products with specific serial numbers, go to the Warehouse section on the product card page. All available serial numbers for this product are listed in the “Serial number” column. Here you can easily check the availability of the items you need.

The serial numbers are also displayed in the general list of products in the system. Navigate to the Warehouse section, then go to the Warehouse Products tab and perform a search by product attribute or specific stock. The Serial Num column displays the serial number of the product that is in the Prep Center warehouse.

Ysell.pro allows you to assign specific serial numbers to items during order processing. This feature ensures that each item shipped matches the requested serial number and guarantees a high degree of accuracy in order processing.

To specify a particular serial number for a product in your order, go to the relevant order and add the item by clicking the Add Product button in the Order Contents section. Then search for the desired product in the pop-up window. In the Serial Number field, select the serial number you wish to use for shipping from the drop-down list. This step ensures that each item in the order is shipped with the required serial number.

Working with serial numbers via API ensures automation, accuracy and data security management. This enables improved efficiency in business processes and ensures reliable tracking of goods.
