The serial numbers list provides a complete, traceable history of every serial-tracked product in Katana. Easily view each item's lifecycle, from manufacturing or receipt to sale and beyond.
Where to find it
Navigate to Stock screen → Serial numbers tab to find the list.
Note: This view is available only for products with serial number tracking enabled.
What you see in the list
The list includes the following columns:
Product name & variant – Shows which item the serial belongs to
Serial number – The unique code assigned to that unit
Document links – Clickable references to related SO, MO, PO, or transfers
Availability status – e.g., In stock, Allocated, In transit, Sold
Date Added – When the item was received or produced into stock
Why it matters
Complete traceability: Easily see where and when each item moved throughout its lifecycle.
Accountability: Identify the source document responsible for each movement—manufacturing, purchase, sales, or transfer.
Operational oversight: Monitor serialized inventory to prevent errors, discrepancies, and ensure stock integrity.
How it works
Whenever a serial-tracked item is:
Manufactured – the SO or MO creation timestamps are noted
Purchased – PO/OPO receipt adds the serial with the received date
Sold – SO delivery marks the serial as sold
Transferred – Serial moves are logged with origin/destination locations
All this data is recorded and easily retrievable in the serial number list.
