DealPOS has provided a serialized product type. So, users can add product types that every stock of each item has its own unique serial number. It will be useful when you want to make warranty claims by checking the serial number. With the Serialized Type of Products, you can create an Electronic Product with a unique serial number on each stock (eg. Phones, Cameras, Speakers, etc).
Usually, adjustments are used for stock taking, adding, or reducing product stock outside of sales and purchase transactions. If users want to add or remove a specific serial from a serialized product, they can only adjust it using the adjust differences method.
Therefore, serialized products can only be adjusted through the adjustment archive using the adjust difference method. If the user tries to adjust via CSV or web spreadsheet an error message will appear as the image below :
Before adjusting the serial for serialized products, make sure that you have at least one serialized product. Read this article to find out How to Add Serialized Products
