Hi, how to add serial number to the inventory products?

Hello Meet-stylomobile, When you are searching for the item service code are you using the magnifying glass r is this in the invoice itself when you enter the code you set it does not appear? Or are you referring to the third party app you connected not being able to search in there?

Hi, how to add serial number to the inventory products?

When I enter service code in the product, from the computer

 

then I expect my staff to create sales receipt upon a sale, they add the number in the search when adding the product to sales receipt, but in the tablet the item code does not show in search.

Thanks for getting back to us, meet-stylomobile.

 

If you're trying to search the code from the Epos, you might need to add this product to your list so it will show when searching from the app.

 

You can search for an item using a code through the Products and Services section.

However, if you're trying to search the code using the Advanced Search feature in QuickBooks Online, this will only allow you to find a specific transaction type and not by item codes.

 

Here's how to search a specific transaction:

 

  1. Click the Magnifying glass icon at the top and hit Advanced Search.

  2. Select Sales Receipts and click Search.
  3. Choose a date from the Date Filter.
  4. Hit Apply.

  5. You'll find all Sales Receipts from there.

I'm leaving you this article to learn more about searching a transaction in QuickBooks: Search for transactions. It also gives you steps on how to search by customer and vendor names.

Hi, how to add serial number to the inventory products?

Okay, what I am trying to get working is, When using on a phone or samsung tablet or ipad, only description is indexed (referenced in the search)

 

not the item, serial?

 

also is it possible to add an text option to adding a product like imei and then reference that in the search also to be used
