+<p align="justify">As discussed in the <a href="https://docs.gostride.io/stock/item">Item page</a>, if an Item is serialized, a <b>Serial Number (Serial No)</b> record is maintained for each quantity of that Item. This information helps track the location of the Serial No, its warranty and end-of-life (expiry) information.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><b>Serial Nos</b> are also useful to maintain fixed assets. Maintenance Schedules can also be created against Serial Numbers for planning and scheduling maintenance activity for these assets (if they require maintenance).</p>
+
+<p align="justify"> You can also track from which <b>Supplier</b> you purchased the <b>Serial No</b> and to which Customer you have sold it. The <b>Serial No</b>status will tell you its current inventory status.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"> If your Item is serialized you will have to enter the Serial Nos in the related column with each Serial No in a new line. You can maintain single units of serialized items using Serial Number.</p>
+
+<p align="justify"><b> To access the Serial Number list, go to:</b></p>

+<h2> 1. Prerequisites </h2>
+<p> Before creating and using a Serial Number, it is advised that you create the following first:</p>
+<ul>
+<li> <a href="https://docs.gostride.io/stock/item">Item</a></li>
+<li>Enable 'Has Serial No' in the Item master</li>
+</ul>

+
+<h2>2. How to create a Serial Number </h2>
+<p align="justify">Usually, Serial Numbers are auto-created when transactions are made against a serialized Item. This works only when 'Has Serial No' is enabled and a series is set in the Item master.</p>
+<p align="justify">For example, a series was set for the following Item as 'ML.#####'. Then a Stock Entry was submitted to receive the Item. The Serial Numbers were created accordingly.</p>

+
+<p> However, if you want to create a Serial No manually follow these steps:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Go to the Serial Number list, click on New.</li>
+<li>Enter a Serial Number.</li>
+<li>Enter the Item Code and details will be fetched.</li>
+<li>If any transaction is done with an item, Serial No cannot be set or unset.</li>
+<li>Save.</li>
+<p align="justify"> Inventory of an Item can only be affected if the Serial No is transacted via a Stock transaction (Stock Entry, Purchase Receipt, Delivery Note, Sales Invoice). When a new Serial No is created directly, its Warehouse cannot be set.</p>

+<h3> 2.1 Notes about Serial Number </h3>
+<ul>
+<li>The Status is set based on Stock Entry.</li>
+<li>Only Serial Numbers with status 'Available' can be delivered.</li>
+<li>Serial Nos can automatically be created from a Stock Entry or Purchase Receipt. If you mention Serial No in the Serial Nos column, it will automatically create those serial Nos.</li>
+<li>If in the Item Master, the Serial No Series is mentioned, you can leave the Serial No column blank in a Stock Entry / Purchase Receipt. Serial Nos will automatically be set from that series.</li>
+</ul>
