Receive serialized equipment and trace its source
Create a Material Receipt Stock Entry and choose the target warehouse. Select the serialized stock item and received quantity. In Add Serial Nos, enter each physical serial on its own line, then choose Add Serial Nos. Do not assign a serial that is already in stock.
Before you start
Use your authorized ERP account and the correct company. These screenshots use fictional staging records. Replace the example quantities, dates, warehouses and values with your approved business information. Submission affects the relevant workflow or stock ledger; review the draft first.
Addresses used in this tutorial
ERP_URL is your organization’s ERP address. ACADEMY_URL is the Academy base address: staging uses https://erpstaging.nexcommand.ai/academy; production uses https://academy.nexcommand.ai. Saved record IDs and temporary draft IDs differ between installations. Course IDs and element IDs in the example are not portable to another installation.
Step-by-step instructions
Allocate the actual serial
Create a Material Receipt Stock Entry and choose the target warehouse. Select the serialized stock item and received quantity. In Add Serial Nos, enter each physical serial on its own line, then choose Add Serial Nos. Do not assign a serial that is already in stock.
- Example / selection
- NC-DEMO-SERIAL-EQUIPMENT; NC-DOCS-SERIAL-001; Receiving
- Expected result
- The receipt allocation identifies the individual unit.
{ERP_URL}/desk/stock-entry/new-stock-entry-{TEMP_ID}
Review the allocation quantity
If the allocation dialog warns that its row count differs from Qty to Fetch, compare the physical units, entered serials and intended receipt quantity. Confirm only when the resulting quantity is correct; otherwise return and correct the allocation.
- Example / selection
- One serial; resulting quantity one
- Expected result
- The allocation count agrees with the intended receipt.
{ERP_URL}/desk/stock-entry/new-stock-entry-{TEMP_ID}
Save and review valuation
Review quantity, warehouse and Basic Rate after allocation. Leave edited numeric fields to commit their value. Save and check the receipt total before submitting; the allocation may save the draft before valuation is complete.
- Example / selection
- MAT-STE-2026-00008; 1 Nos at USD 500
- Expected result
- The saved draft has the reviewed quantity and value.
{ERP_URL}/desk/stock-entry/{RECORD_ID}
Confirm stock posting
Choose Submit and confirm the reviewed transaction. Submission creates the inventory movement; the earlier serial registration alone did not.
- Example / selection
- MAT-STE-2026-00008
- Expected result
- The serialized stock movement is authorized.
{ERP_URL}/desk/stock-entry/{RECORD_ID}
Verify Submitted
Check the permanent voucher, Submitted status, item, warehouse, quantity and rate.
- Example / selection
- One serialized instrument; USD 500
- Expected result
- The receipt is posted.
{ERP_URL}/desk/stock-entry/{RECORD_ID}
Check serial availability
Open Serial No and select the received identifier. Check its item, Active status and warehouse. Warranty status and inventory status are separate. Read valuation from the posted receipt and serial ledger rather than inferring it from a master field.
- Example / selection
- NC-DOCS-SERIAL-001; Active; Receiving
- Expected result
- The individual unit is available in its recorded warehouse.
{ERP_URL}/desk/serial-no/{RECORD_ID}
Follow the source document
Scroll to Source Document. Review Source Document Type, Source Document Name and Posting Date. The voucher link returns to the source receipt.
- Example / selection
- Stock Entry; MAT-STE-2026-00008
- Expected result
- The serial is linked to its source stock transaction.
{ERP_URL}/desk/serial-no/{RECORD_ID}
Inspect the serial movement ledger
Choose View Ledgers. Verify item and serial filters and the as-of date/time. Review the linked voucher, warehouse, status, quantity and valuation rate; scroll the report horizontally for columns beyond Serial No.
- Example / selection
- MAT-STE-2026-00008; quantity 1; valuation 500
- Expected result
- The serial ledger agrees with the posted receipt.
{ERP_URL}/desk/query-report/Serial%20No%20Ledger
Verified result
The staging receipt was submitted for one unit at USD 500. NC-DOCS-SERIAL-001 became Active in Receiving and referenced the receipt. Its serial ledger showed MAT-STE-2026-00008, quantity one and valuation rate 500. Transfer, issue, return and warranty claims are later lifecycle actions and were not exercised by this receipt walkthrough.
Troubleshooting
Wait for Link search results and choose the exact record. Leave each edited field to commit its value. Check required dates in every item row. A saved draft and a submitted record are different states. If validation fails, correct the highlighted field and verify the saved result before continuing.
