Basic Serial Number Processing

If you do not require a serial number for items, but you want to assign serial numbers for product tracking, customer service, or new product promotions, you can use the features of basic serial number processing. Items with assigned basic serial numbers have this item information assigned in the Item Branch File table (F4102):

• Serial Number Required: Y

• Lot Process Type: Blank

  When you leave this option blank, you can manually assign serial numbers to the item, but the serial number is not required. Additionally, you can assign a serial number to items, regardless of the quantity.

The system stores basic serial numbers in the Basic Serial Numbers table (F4220).
