may I assign locations to serial number inventory?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, you can assign inventory items to a specific location using the Preferred Location field. However, this field only defaults onto transactions and doesn't prevent you from transacting at other locations. The inventory is assigned based on where it is received. If you want to have inventory show up at a certain location, you would need to transfer the product there. As for serial numbers, they are unique and are physically present on the item you are shipping. They are usually entered on fulfillment, as someone picks the item in the warehouse and then enters the chosen item's serial number into NetSuite. However, it's important to note that if you're experiencing issues with the quantity available becoming 0 after transferring a serial number via Inventory Transfer, it could be due to the item being committed to some other transaction. You should check all related records as there might be another transaction that caused it. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
