I needed to check how many serial numbers were assigned to sales transactions and the cumulative length of them. I’m not aware of any function in Microsoft Dynamics GP which would give me this information, so I wrote the below SQL statement to return both values along with the transaction type and document number.
It selects from the Sales Serial/Lot Work and History (SOP10201) table which, allowing for a simple statement, includes both the work and history data (SOP transactions don’t have a status of open).
