Serial Number Sequence Setup
Reference Contents > Serial Numbers > Serial Number Sequence Setup
If this window is opened from the Product Serial Number Maintenance window, the currently selected serial number on it will be used as the default. Otherwise some fields may be populated and some may be disabled for changes. Enter the number of records to be created and change other details as required. You must then set up the serial number structure.
Up to 17 prefix characters can be entered, the numeric part of the first serial number to be created (leading zeros must be in the prefix), and finally, if required, a suffix up to 17 characters. The resulting sequence range will be displayed below your entry. The size of a serial number is 18 characters and any attempt to exceed this will cause truncation of the last entered characters of the number structure. Experiment until you are satisfied with the correct sequence. Use the Check for Unique Serial Numbers button to confirm that all numbers in the sequence are unique. When you confirm the setup with the enter key or Ok button, appropriate records will be created automatically.
