Packaged items with more than one serial number

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Using Dynamics GP 2010 -

We have one vendor that is "packaging" their items into a DOUBLE or TRIPLE Combo and calling it a "PAK".

Within this "PAK" there are two identical items that both have separate serial numbers 

EXAMPLE:

APPLE-PAK  - apple #1 s/n: 12345, apple #2 s/n: 67890

How can we receive the two serial numbers into our system for the ONE item?  If a customer orders a PAK, they expect to get both serial numbers

OR as another example:

APPLE/ORANGE-PAK - #1-apple s/n: 12345, #2-orange s/n: 67890

We've thought about entering both s/n and separating them by a comma except for the fact that each individual s/n is 13 characters in length and the max. length for entering a s/n is 20 characters

One option we've done is to break the paks down and order an APPLE & an ORANGE but when we order, they are ordered together.

Are there any suggestions out there?

    I would probably have the PAK item as lot numbered, assign a lot category to it, using the attributes of the lot category as s/n fields.    That is the best idea I would have.   Your best other option is the one you mention with the APPLE and ORANGE.  Could look into an ISV but I am not aware of any.

    I would have an item called 'APPLE' and then create a UoM schedule 'PAK' that contains 2 units.  You can then order PAK's of APPLE's and record the 2 unit serial numbers on receipt.

    Thank you John, the answer was so obvious once I read your post.  I had a "duh" moment.

    Have a great day.
