Using Serial Numbers and Lot Numbers in Inventory
DAADit Group, Nick

Situatie: u verkoopt producten waarvoor traceerbaarheid nodig is (garantie, food, medical, elektronica).

Oplossing: op het product-tabblad 'Inventory' zet u 'Tracking' op By Lots (batch) of By Unique Serial Number (per stuk). Bij ontvangst en levering vraagt Odoo verplicht om de nummers. In het rapport Traceability ziet u per lot waar het ligt of aan wie het is geleverd.

Tip: gebruik barcode-scanners in combinatie met de Odoo Barcode-app — scannen is 3× sneller dan typen en elimineert typfouten bij lange serienummers.

Situation: you sell products that require traceability (warranty, food, medical, electronics).

Solution: on the product's 'Inventory' tab, set 'Tracking' to By Lots (batch) or By Unique Serial Number (per unit). On receipt and delivery, Odoo mandatorily asks for the numbers. In the Traceability report you see, per lot, where it is located or to whom it was delivered.

Tip: use barcode scanners in combination with the Odoo Barcode app — scanning is 3× faster than typing and eliminates typos with long serial numbers.
