How to Enable Serialization on myBillBook

Here’s a list of steps to enable serialization on the myBillBook app:

  1. Go to item settings (where batching is also located).
  2. Serialization will be enabled by default for specific industries, such as mobile and accessories, electronics and Information technology.
  3. If batching is turned on, you can still enable serialization. For this, you must select either batching or serialization when creating an item.
  4. To disable serialization, you must delete all items with serial numbers.
  5. When creating an item, enter the opening stock and add an empty serial number list. You can manually enter the serial number/IMEI number or use a scanner (up to 20 characters, no duplicates).
  6. Serialization can be enabled for existing items by entering the serial number equal to the closing stock.
  7. You will not be able to convert existing serialized or batched items to a different type. The only conversion possible is from a normal item to a batched or serialized item.
  8. You can select one or multiple serial numbers to sell when creating an invoice.
  9. You can search for sold/unsold serial numbers in the serialization tab on the item view screen.
  10. The app now has a Guide icon, which is only shown if you have tasks pending. The guide shows up to three tasks based on your persona and usage, and you can remove tasks you’re not interested in doing.
