Serialized inventory needs to be picked up by matching the serial number. How to avoid?

[Deepak Agarwal-2]

Hello All,

We are receiving the inventory items against the purchase orders and also
entering the serial number for each item so that we can return the
inventory to the correct supplier after a while when we have dead
inventory.

Problem is that we are also reserving the inventory with every sales order.
Now, if sales order reserves an inventory item with Serial xyz then we need
to search xyz inventory item in our stock and then pack it.

How can we avoid the searching of the serial number and yet maintaining the
information as above.

You may maintain shadow inventory along side of the serialized inventory, when it is time to reserve, reserve it from the shadow inventory but when it is time to dispatch you may choose to ship whatever specific serialized inventory you may want.
