Way to allocate serial numbers to sales order from list?

[runswithcode]

In most of InvenTree there's nice lists of items with filtering options and links and multiple selection options, but for allocating serial numbers to a sales order it's a manual blind text entry system that requires a second instance of InvenTree open to utilize efficiently. For most users with SN's these values are usually long and complex, so in digging around I'm still incredulous that I can't find and alternative system for this part of the process. I'll move this to a feature request if it doesn't exist, but I'm hoping I'm just being dumb and not finding the right way to do this! Thanks InvenTree gurus :)

@runswithcode currently there are two distinct ways to allocate individual items to a sales order:

1. Select a single stock item with a drop-down filterable search input - here you can input the serial number you are looking for
2. Enter a set of text serial numbers, including range values, e.g. 100-105

However you cannot combine the two.

The new user interface based on react would be better prepared to support some better user interface workflows such as this.

If you have any specific ideas around this please raise an issue for it

@SchrodingersGat thanks for the response! Yes number 1 is the solution i'm looking for. You say you can't combine both, but how would I switch to the one I want? I'm specifically thinking of the "Add Line Items" pop-up window in the "Sales Order" page. Is there a setting or change of html to do that?

I'll also look into the react UI, thanks.

Select the "allocate items" button shown here:

Oh, I see! I never tried this buttons since I assumed I wanted to "Allocate Serial Numbers", but "Allocate Stock" is a better way to search for serial numbers. Thanks!
