Serial Status for Purchase Orders to Streamline Your Workflow

Updated over a week ago

In this video, we introduced the new feature that allows you to add a serial status to an item on a purchase order. This enhancement makes it easier for the serial status to stick once the item is received. We demonstrated how to use the editable Serial Status field and showed how to bulk edit it for larger orders. By adding the Serial Status directly to the purchase order, you will save time and avoid having to input it later.
