Non-Serialized items are parts, assemblies or other articles that you are not interested in positively identifying, but you want to know their location.
Non-Serialized items:
Do not have a unique identifier.
Hold two attributes, a parent ID and an item type.
Do not require a tag for sensor recognition.
Can be pallets, carriers, bins or other articles that are reused in production.
