If you select this option, the registration of a component's serial number can be postponed until the time of consumption in production. This can be useful if you don't need to track the component serial numbers while they are stored in the inventory, but you do need to track the serial numbers that have been used in finished goods. This field can only be selected if the Serial number dimension is set to Active on the Tracking dimension group and the Capture serial field is set to Picking or Packing.
