Hi Everyone. Has anyone dealt with Serial Number tracing in NetSuite. Here is the scenario. I have a finished good serialized assembly. Within those finished goods there are components that are serialized. When I sell “Serial Number 1” I need to be able to drill down and see the exact serial numbers that were built as part of that finished good serial number. Currently when performing a serial number trace it seems that NetSuite looks at all serial numbers for all components that are tied to the Work Order for which the Serialized Finished good was built.

You would need to do a build per finished good and semi finished good. When you do multiple SNs on the same build, there's no direct relation to the components. This is okay if you're building something larger and slower, but not so great for assembly line like operations. Common workarounds in the past include bar code scanning, custom records or keeping this info outside of NetSuite.

Thanks Rich. I was thinking the same thing as far as a manual process or getting into the weeds and using a custom record.
