Serial number tracking helps maintain records of individual items for warranty purposes, equipment history, and inventory accountability.
Enabling Serial Number Tracking

- Navigate to the product details page

Adding Serial Numbers
Once enabled, you can manage serial numbers in two ways:

Serial number tracking provides complete traceability for equipment, electronics, and other valuable items throughout their lifecycle in your inventory.
