Ok, in this case I can use serial number to track the buy-and-sell
processes. Good, I will test it.
Unfortunately I have not enough time, I need 36 hours a day......

Ok, now it is clear.
I think, using serial number as serial number or as SARZS number we can
track goods moving, but obviously, we have to record when we receive and
sell them.

My next question is, is that possible to select a given product to sell
to a customer from stock?

I have two ideas:
First is, the man in the warehouse will choose one product and he will
record this serial number to the pick list (to the paper) and after he
will record to the Ship form somehow.

Second: somehow I list my stock and I select one by the serial number
and I record it to my offer/sales order. Worker at the stock will search
it (5 minutes to 1 day, depends on the size of the warehouse :) and
prepare to ship.

Sure, your help is really worthy, every time, thank you!
