Simplified Management of Item Tracked Inventory using an Item Journal

With the release of Business Central version 22, Microsoft has simplified the steps when entering inventory that has item tracking required. Depending on the warehouse configurations of a customer, there are two new options available:

  • You can enable specific batches on the Item Journal page to let people enter serial, lot, and package data directly on journal lines.
  • For locations where the Directed Put-away and Pick toggle is turned on, you can use the Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal page to make all item tracking fields available. The fields that are available now include the Warranty Date and Expiration Date fields.

For the item journal, you will now find an option where you can enable the item tracking fields within the line.

With the option enabled the  Lot No., Serial No., Expiration Date, Warranty Date, and Package No. fields will be available to enter directly on the line instead of having to open the item tracking lines page for each line.

The Warehouse Physical Inventory Journal will also include the same fields now for simpler entry of item tracked inventory.

With this new release the loading of opening item balances will be more efficient and allow for the use of templates directly into the item tracked fields.

For more information about the new update check out these other blogs that discuss new features of the update.

And as always, for additional information on this new feature or questions regarding Business Central, you can contact support@lime-falcon-860444.hostingersite.com.
