Serial numbers can be imported on the following transactions types:  It is important to consider the following points when importing serial numbers into QuickBooks:
  • To assign serial numbers to existing items then use the Inventory Adjustment type transaction.
  • The quantity of the item imported needs to match the number of serial numbers, for example if you are importing three widgits on a item receipt then you should have 3 distinct serial numbers. These should be in the same field and separated by a comma or a space.
  • New serial numbers can only be imported on transaction types that receipt items into inventory in QuickBooks, so this is Item Receipts, Checks and Credit Card Charges
  • Existing serial numbers can only be imported on transaction types that draw down items from inventory in QuickBooks, so this is Sales Orders, Invoices, Credit Memos and Inventory Adjustments
