The DEAR Warehouse Management System (WMS) app allows you to perform warehouse operations (Pick, Pack, Receive Inventory, Stocktake, Write-Off) on inventory with serial or batch numbers. 


NOTE: The Serial number/Batch number field is only visible for products with Costing Methods that support serial and batch numbers.

Selecting a Serial/Batch Number Costing Method

[back to top]


A product's costing method must support serial/batch numbers to use serial/batch number features in the WMS app. Product costing methods can be set or changed through the DEAR Systems web portal. 


Products must have one of the following costing methods:

  • FIFO - Serial
  • FIFO - Batch
  • FEFO - Serial
  • FEFO - Batch
  • Special - Batch
  • Special - Serial


Costing methods can be changed from a product's detail page (Inventory → Products → [select product]). However, non-serialised costing methods CANNOT be changed to a serialised costing method. See Costing Methods - Changing the Costing Method for more information.
