Hi Goutham,

Batch Numbers - Helps to track items, such as medications, using their batch numbers. The batch number can provide additional information such as an item's manufacturing date, warranty data, and so on.

The user enters the batch numbers during stock entries for items that have a definition of batch numbers management. Then the user chooses the relevant batch numbers for stock transfer and release documents.

Serial Numbers - Helps to track items, such as computers, using their serial numbers. The serial number can provide additional information such as an item's manufacturing date, warranty data, and so on.

The work method is to enter serial numbers during stock entries for items that have a definition of serial numbers management, and to choose relevant serial numbers for stock transfer and release documents.

Hope it answers your query.

regards
