 The recommended procedure is to import the serials to a sent purchase order or a receiving report. Please review the requirements section for information on the requirements of the import. This is really important because the phone card doesn't provide information on numbers that it fails to load. The only information that ever displays is if the serial number already exists and that is the reason the import is prevented. If the supplier part number is typed a little differently or the import  file has a part number instead of the supplier part number you will not be informed that the serial number was not loaded. You need to manually review the file afterwards in order to make sure that all the serials were loaded. The recommended procedure is to import the serials to a sent purchase order or a receiving report.
