You need to set the requirement at the product level, for each product you want to track.

## Require a serial number for a product at POS

1.  Open the product in Salesforce.
2.  Select **Edit**. 
3.  Scroll to the **Stock Information** section and switch on the **Has Serial Number** option.
4.  Select **Save**. A serial number will now need to be entered for the product at the point of purchase.
5.  Repeat for each product you want to be tracked by serial number.
