Lots And Serial Numbers In Odoo

Lots and serial numbers are used to track the products. In Odoo, we assign the serial numbers and lots when we are receiving a product to the warehouse. A serial number is a unique number assigned to identify a specific product. Usually, these are the products which are having a guarantee or warranty provided by the manufacturer.
