I propose adding a feature that allows users to select from predefined number series for package numbers directly within the Item Tracking fast tab of the Item Card. This enhancement would enable more tailored tracking and organization of inventory items.


As it stands, the Item Card in Business Central allows for tracking various item-related details, including serial numbers, lot numbers, and package numbers. However, the system currently lacks the ability to select different number series for package numbers depending on the item. This limitation leads to a less flexible system, hindering the ability to categorize and track items based on varying package types.


For instance, consider a scenario where some items are packaged as pallets, while others are boxed. Both packaging types could encompass multiple lots, and distinguishing them based on their packaging type could significantly enhance organizational efficiency. However, under the current system, these diverse package types are all grouped under a single default number series. This limitation can lead to confusion and inefficiencies in inventory tracking, especially in businesses where different package types play distinct roles in logistics and storage. By allowing a selectable number series for different package types, businesses could streamline their inventory management processes, improving accuracy and operational effectiveness.
