Create a backup and then run the following:

 

First scenario, supposing that you want to remove those "incorrect" serial number for a specific item/s, and re-enter the correct serial number;

  • You first need to release the item from the tracking option, in order to withdraw all the incorrect quantities with one adjustment out without specifying mass serial number. The following statement will update the tracking option to "None"
    UPDATE IV00101
    SET ITMTRKOP = 1
    WHERE ITEMNMBR = '#ItemNumber'
  • Now that the item tracking option is removed, you need to empty the IV00200 (Item Serial Number Master) and IV30400 (Item Serial and Lot history) tables from incorrect serial numbers
    DELETE FROM IV00200
    WHERE   ITEMNMBR =  '#ItemNumber'

    DELETE     FROM IV30400
    WHERE ITEMNMBR = '#ItemNumber'
  • Now run check links for the following series (Item Master, Inventory Transaction Work), Reconcile (for the selected item/s)
  • Post one adjustment out (for all the incorrect quantities entered for a specific item/s), you will not be asked to choose serial numbers at all.
  • Now, you need to update the item tracking option, to be "Serial Number". Run the following script
    UPDATE IV00101
    SET ITMTRKOP = 2
    WHERE ITEMNMBR = '#ItemNumber'
  • Now when you go to inventory transaction window, you will be asked to enter the serial numbers all over again, as the tracking option has been reset to "serial number". Enter your serial numbers, and post.
  • Repeat the check links and reconcile step as a quality check.

Another scenario, supposing that you want to remove both the tracking option and the incorrect serial number, and leave the item/s with "None" tracking option.

You could go through the steps above, and never run the final update statement which returns the tracking option to "serial", which will leave your item with "None" tracking option.

Most importantly, I never recommend running such update or delete on live environment . As long as such a suggestion is derived from my own experience, you could run them on a test environment to ensure their validity. As always, back up is a must.
