+1.

In the UK it tends to be called "batch number" but "lot" is OK too.

Serial Numbers are unique to a specific individual item.

My understanding of OpenERP 6 was that "lot numbers" can be used either
across a group of items or individually, so its use is very ambiguous.
It could be a lot number, it could be a serial number. But it can't be
both at the same time ;-)

Title:
  [7.0][stock] "serial number" wrong wording -> should be "lot number"

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I think the wording "serial number" in v7 is wrong and confusing. I
  think what we have in v7 is the same thing as before and is still lot
  number management, not serial numbers.

  After wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_number "a  serial number is a unique code assigned for identification of a single unit"
  Instead the numbers in OpenERP are associated to several units, that means they are are "lot numbers" instead.

  I think OpenERP is hard enough to get working, the less its wording
  confuse people, the better.

  
  Hope to see this fixed.
