Implemented Serial No./Batch No. by doing core customization. We have done the serial number tracking. But it is not like extension format. We have touched many pages of FA just to implement serial Number.
I will try to write the functional flow for serialising and tracking of products.

What are the latest updates for inclusion of Serial No./Batch No. feature in FA?
In this thread, Joe had hinted of possible inclusion in version 2.4 but I cannot find it in 2.4.3.

Please read the whole thread. This is not a standard feature in FA (both versions). Someone posted their screenshots somewhere else and I placed here for self-sufficiency of the forum. You are free to develop an extension for it. Pharma products is one example where batch number and expiry date will be needed for sale and returns.

Hello @apmuthu What is this ISN shown in the image? Is this something similar to batch number? I can't find it in the 2.3.25. Is it in 2.4

Regards.

The sample alluded to in a previous post is attached here for self sufficiency of the forum.

Janusz,
Can you update your progress on this for 2.4?
In an earlier post you mentioned needing a specification. Do you have one you are working to? My company is interested in this functionality. I am willing to support the specification and testing. I am not a php developer so I cannot help there but I have a lot of experience with Lot/serial/batch control in ERP systems. Depending on the amount our company may be willing to support the development financially as well.

Get someone to make a module extending FA for it if it isn't there as yet. Try using Dimensions and Tags to see if they fit the bill.

Serial number/lot tracking is not supported in FA 2.3, however it is some chance it will be available in 2.4. I have started coding this feature some time ago, but this is huge development so I'm still not sure whether it will be finished before next major release is ready.

Noob here, just loaded 2.3.16 on my server and started tweaking it. It's apparent that this is good for my operation of assembling electronic devices, but it seems that if serial numbering gets off the ground, it would be great if it ties in on the manufacturing side with revision control. As I imagine it, when a work order is entered, let's imagine that the WO is to make 10 items, the revision level of the hardware, and a separate revision number for the firmware, should be attached to the range of 10 serial numbers, and the WO generates those serial numbers and each inventory item at that point has a unique SN.

Then, when the PO is generated, the actual SNs would be tracked to the PO and the customer. Later, we would be able to look up what hardware revision and firmware revision was sent to a particular customer, if there's a question about revision numbers.

Am I dreaming, or is this realistic?

If you have anything to share you can send it also to FA contributions mailbox. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I've done this customization twice or thrice for FA, I think. I may need to dig out some old documents about this and upload it somewhere. The requirement vary per company so I don't know which should be standard.

Here's a sample of Serial Number inquiry with the old version.

Is anybody interested here in writing full specification of the requested extension?
Serial number tracking is too complex functionality to just sit and implement it in a minute. I personally have no special experience in business requiring serial number nor batch tracking, so I cannot specify the needed features myself.

When you are registered to FrontAccounting forum, you have write access to FA Wiki as well. If you are really interested in the feature, please open new page on wiki and describe all the functionality needed in basic yet functional serial number tracking. Alternatively you can write specification as OpenOffice document and attach it to new feature request you will create on FrontAccounting Mantis.

This is the first and anyway necessary step to have this feature implemented in FrontAccounting, regardless is it done as free extension or paid customization.

Do the developers think of the intriducing such feature? there are too many requests, even a donation is suggested...
