Lightspeed - Setting up serial numbers for products

Procedures for setting up and managing serial numbers for products. Noting serial numbers for high-value products allows precise tracking of each unit sold to individual clients, ensuring accountability and accuracy in product transactions.


There are two ways serial numbers can be set up and used:

  • Pre-recorded: This allows you to pre-record all serial numbers using the serial numbers pages in order to keep track of what is currently in stock and automatically attach sales to these when a product with a recorded serial number is sold.
  • At the time of sale: This allows you to record serial numbers at the time of sale; these will then be saved to the serial numbers page and the corresponding sale automatically attached. Click Here to view document regarding this.
