Only existing material or product may be shipped. Therefore, any inventory to be shipped must have quantities in stores or finished goods. There is no other way to ship.

Material may be placed in finished goods (or stores) by using the Inventory Material Handling (receiving) procedure. 

If a product has been defined as requiring serial numbers, then they must be entered in order to ship the product. The serial numbers may or may not be barcoded. If not, the numbers will have to be entered by hand.  Please refer to the Work Order Management  and Packing List Management  procedures.
