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.
Prerequisites
- Set Up DEAR Warehouse Management System (required)

Selecting a Serial/Batch Number Costing Method
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.
