There are several reasons why you might not be able to turn on serialization for an item.

Notes:

If you turn serialized inventory off for an item, all of the serial numbers that have been entered for that item will be removed.

Once an item with a serial number is used in a transaction, you cannot turn off serialized inventory for your company.
