Serialized Inventory Management
The license plate inventory management and item serialization capabilities, which make up QAD Serialization, provide an efficient way to manage packaged inventory by providing a means to identify inventory with unique packaging units from receiving and material movements to issuing or dispatching of goods.
You can package inventory with unique identifiers, using one or multiple packaging levels up to the optional serialization of item units. You can receive inventory by item and lot (non-serialized) or for inventory that is serialized by packaging units. This lets you manage material handling using unique identifiers at the top-level packaging unit, increasing inventory accuracy and material handling efficiency.
APIs embedded in each inventory transaction allow for easy integration with third-party systems.
