You manage serial numbers for Tablet items in your warehouse. When you look at the Serial Number Transaction report, you notice that no serial numbers exist for the transactions of a Goods Receipt…

Question

Options

• AThe serial numbers were already defined in the Purchase Order base document.
• BThe serial number expiration date has passed.
• CAfter the GRPO was added the Manage Item By definition was set to None.
• DThe serial number management method of the item is set to On Release Only.

• A
  8% (4)
• B
  14% (7)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  74% (37)

Explanation

"On Release Only" means serial numbers are assigned only when items leave the warehouse (sales/delivery), not when they arrive. Since a GRPO is a receipt transaction (items coming in), the system never prompts for or records serial numbers at that stage - making them absent from the Serial Number Transaction report entirely.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A - Defining serial numbers in the Purchase Order doesn't suppress them in the GRPO; the GRPO would still record them on receipt.
• B - An expired expiration date affects usability of a serial number, not whether it's captured during a receipt transaction.
• C - Changing "Manage Item By" to None after adding the GRPO would affect future transactions, but SAP Business One actually locks this field once transactions exist, making this scenario largely impossible.

Memory tip: Think of "On Release Only" literally - serial numbers are tracked only on release (outbound). If the transaction is inbound (receipt), no serial number capture occurs. Match the word Release to leaving the warehouse, and you'll never mix up the two directions.
