Configure items for serialization

You can create items for the production process and assign the item class that is created for the serialization process in the Product Definition Group. Also, you can define the format of the serial number that is generated during an operation.

Configure items for serialization

1. Select the item class that is defined for serialization in the Item Class ID list.

   When you select an item class, the item automatically inherits the Serial Number Level and Lot Number Format values if they are defined for the selected item class.

   

2. In the Inventory Handling section, type or change the format for the lot number or serial number in the Lot Number Format text box. This is an optional field that provides a default format for the generated serial numbers.

   The format identifier must include # characters to represent the numeric positions of the generated serial number. For example: SN###### would produce the following serial number sequence:

   • SN000001

   • SN000002

   • SN000003

   • ...
