Changes in Inventory Control 5.6

Inventory Control version 5.6 integrated serialized inventory and lot tracking features, and included a number of enhancements to reports.

Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking Features  

Since version 5.6, serialized inventory and lot tracking features are installed and fully integrated with Sage ERP Accpac Inventory Control. You require a license for Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking to turn on these features in Sage ERP Accpac programs, but you no longer need to purchase and install Sage ERP Accpac Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking programs separately.

• Create and Reconcile Serial/Lot numbers

• Receive Serialized/Lotted items from Vendors

• Make Adjustments involving Serialized/Lotted items

• Register Serial Numbers for Customer Warranties

Before you can perform these tasks, you must define items as serialized and/or lotted, define serial and lot number formats, and set global defaults for serialized and lotted items. For more information on setup and maintenance tasks, refer to Understanding Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking.

Converting Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking Data from a Previous Version  

If you are upgrading to version 5.6 from earlier versions of Inventory Control, and had serialized and lotted items in your system, you must convert your data before you can use the Inventory Control system.
