The Serialized Inventory programs make use of the following parameters in the FV System Parameters file (file 155). These parameters must be properly set up by the system administrator or Cove Systems personnel before any serialized inventory transactions may be processed.
Serialized Inventory - This parameter is located on the Control Flags and Variables screen of the FV System Parameters file. The parameter determines whether or not the system is configured to process serialized inventory. A "Y" should be entered for this parameter if the company will be processing serialized inventory transactions. If a "N" is entered for this parameter, the system will not prompt operators for serial numbers when invoices, inventory receipts or inventory transfers are processed.
Create SN Method - This parameter is located on the Control Flags and Variables Screen 2 of the FV System Parameters file. The parameter determines whether or not operators may create serial numbers as serialized items are being invoiced. If the parameter is set to "Y", operators may create serialized records as the serialized items are being invoiced. If the parameter is set to "N", the system will only allow operators to enter valid serial numbers (serial numbers which have previously been entered into the system) into the Invoice Item Serialization window. If a value other than "Y" or "N" is entered for this parameter, the system will allow creation of serialized records during invoicing
