Introduction
A product attribute can be a serial number.
Some products require serial numbering to assure compliance with the tracking requirements imposed by the majority of industries which impliest that:
- each unit of a product has always to be linked to a unique serial number.
Number Control
A Serial Number is a unique number given to each unit of a product/item which can be defined to have a prefix or a sufix among other characteristics.
A Serial Number Sequence can be setup:
- by defining the first number or Starting Number that will be used as Serial Number
- by specifiying the value by which the Serial Number will be incremented by.
In the case of Serial Numbers it will always be "1". - by defining which is the Next Assigned Number that will be used. Openbravo updates the next assigned number value as the Serial Numbers are assigned.
- by entering a Prefix such as Serial N?/ which easily helps to understand that the number in question is a serial number.
- by entering a Sufix such as /2011 which helps to provide additional information if needed.
Full list of Serial Number Sequence window fields and their descriptions is available in the Serial Number Sequence Screen Reference.
