Changes in Order Entry 5.6
Order Entry version 5.6A included reporting enhancements, as well as integrated features for handling serialized and lotted items, which previously required separate Sage ERP Accpac programs.
Take Advantage of Fully Integrated Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking
Since version 5.6, serialized inventory and lot tracking features have been 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.
All the icons for managing serial numbers and lot numbers are conveniently located in existing Inventory Control folders, where you expect to find them, rather than in separate Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking folders.
We have also redesigned the forms you use to assign serial numbers and lot numbers in transactions. It is now much simpler to assign these numbers on orders, shipments, invoices, debit notes, and return credit notes in Order Entry!
For more information, see Understanding Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking.

The following Order Entry reports and forms now let you print serial numbers and lot numbers:
