  4. You access Serial number entry.

    5. The fields on this panel are defaulted from Item file, Inventory information or Item file, Supplier information. They are used to automatically propose serial numbers when you receive items into stock. The system defaults the serial number according to what you enter on this panel.

    Note: If you want to enter serial numbers manually, leave these fields blank.

    Number mask
    Defines how the system shall build the serial numbers as a proposal on the Serial number entry panel. You can enter the following:
    • “X” – Alphanumeric character
    • “9” – Numeric character
    • “.” – Dot. Will be replaced by a digit from the Serial number range.
    • “_” – Underscore. Will be replaced by a value from the same position in the Fixed part value field.
    Fixed part value
    A part of the serial number that is equal for all serial numbers. If underscores have been entered in the same position in Number mask, they will be replaced by this fixed value.
    Serial number range
    These fields are defaulted according to the order line quantity. If Number mask contains any dots, they will be replaced by digits from the entered range.

    Serial number example
    If you enter the following:

    • Number mask: ____.__ (4 underscores, 4 dots, 2 underscores)
    • Fixed part value: ABCD XX
    • Serial number range: 1 – 5

    the system will propose serial number ABCD0001XX to ABCD0005XX.
