To Delete Inventory Number Records

Here are some details regarding Inventory Numbers from our SuiteAnswers site (Answer ID: 19232).

The term inventory number refers to a serial number or a lot number. An inventory number record uniquely identifies an item in physical inventory with a serial number, or uniquely identifies a group of items with a lot number. For details about these types of items, see Serial Numbered Items and Lot Numbered Items. This record is available when the Serialized Inventory or Lot Tracking feature is enabled.

Important: You cannot create standalone inventory number records. The system generates these records when a serialized item or lot numbered item is created, based on the serial number or lot number values entered for the item record. See Adding New Serial Numbers to Inventory and Creating Lot Numbered Items. Also, you cannot delete inventory number records.
