You can associate a single serial number with a number of transactions. For example, there is one transaction when the inbound item is received into inventory on a purchase order and another transaction when the outbound item is sold to your customer.
Additional transactions are involved if your customer returns the item to you, and if you return it to your vendor for credit. Other transactions can be involved with work orders. Automatic or manual adjustment transactions can affect serial numbers, as shown below.
