of the methods listed below can be used.

from the Address Book's Main Menu. Press Enter until you reach 'Enter a
partial description of text in the comment field'. Enter the serial number
and press . Select either printout or display and the customer's address
will be printed out or displayed.
The Sales Order, Receiver and Invoice Modules can record the serial
number of an item by entering the serial number into the 15 character Serial
Number Field. Sales Orders, Invoices and Shippers can be configured to
print out the Serial Number or Model Number using the Configuration Menu's
Change Boiler Plate Option. Version 5.88 added the report option to print
out All Receivers, Sales Orders and Invoices for a Serial Number.
The Stock Transaction Module can be used to track serial numbers
by answering "Y" to tracking lot numbers and then enter the serial
number into the lot number field. The Stock Room Reporting Module will
provide a record of all transaction for a specified lot number (serial
number).
