After selecting the serial/batch numbers and/or relevant bin locations, these values are displayed in the “Batch, Serial Numbers and Bin Locations” columns respectively:

When there is not enough space to display all the selected values, a hyperlink indicating the number of additional values is shown – in the above example it says, “5 more”. Clicking the hyperlink shows the complete list without leaving the document:

Available in Web Client for SAP Business One 10.0, and SAP Business One 10.0 version for SAP HANA. Please get in touch if you would like to upgrade to version 10.0.
