Serial and Batch Bundle
The list of serial or batch numbers attached to one transaction line. It posts the stock ledger per serial or batch.
In detail
A Serial and Batch Bundle is the child document that lists exactly which serial numbers or batch quantities belong to one item row on a receipt, delivery, stock entry or invoice. It replaced the old text fields in ERPNext v15 onward: the parent document posts the money, the bundle posts the stock ledger per serial or batch, each with its own rate, so a mixed delivery of three laptops bought at different prices charges three different costs. Bundles are submitted and cancelled with their parent and lock with it. Reports like Serial No and Batch Traceability and Serial and Batch Summary read them. A missing bundle on a serialised item stops the parent from submitting.
Formula
Row value = sum over serials or batches of qty x that serial's or batch's valuation rate
