The Serial Numbers tab displays the serial numbers for all statuses of a part. Serial numbers of parts that do not have a current location do not display. Parts are sorted by part ID, suffix, status, current location, and serial number.

Tip: You can use the filter to restrict the information that displays to a specific part ID, part suffix, inventory month, keyword, stock status, product category, or part classification, among others. The list of searchable fields on the filter is extensive; use the scroll bar to view them all. If you specify a cross-reference part ID that cannot be found, the applicable part ID displays.
Serialized parts may not be deleted if:
The part has a quantity on order.
The part has stock at the location.
The part is associated with an active component.
The part status is other than SCRAPPED or AWAITING DISPOSITION.
