Serial Number Mask |
A set of characters at the beginning of a serial number that identify a particular product. The system assigns each product this identifier, followed by a series of unique numbers, upon completion of the process. Use the following criteria to format an incrementing serial number:
For example, entering "BR549"-###-AAA assigns the serial number BR549-000-AAA to the first product, BR549-000-AAB,to the second, and so forth. A serial number can have a maximum of 20 alphanumeric characters, not including the quotation marks and dashes used to establish the serial number mask format. We recommend that you not change this mask once you begin production of the finished product, as this may result in duplications. Note: You must indicate whether you are using Serial Numbers for individual branches. To assign serial numbers manually, leave this field blank. After you enter the Serial Number Mask, the system displays the first number in the series and the maximum number of serial numbers that will appear in the current series. The system also displays the last assigned number once you begin processing work orders. |
