What are Serial Numbers and Serial Number Formats?
Serial Numbers can be applied to items which you want to be able to trace through the processing functions in your system. For example, for perishable goods. You can define the format of these serial numbers using Serial Number Format Setup (SNFS). This enables you to specify the characteristics of up to four parts of a serial number. For example, you can define a prefix or suffix for a series of numbers, or the number of characters a user can enter.
The Serial Number Format Setup (SNFS) form contains the following fields:

Serial Number Format Code
An identifying code for this Serial Number Format.
Part 1-4 Type
This defines the type of data to be used in each part of the serial number. The options are:
Not Used
This part of the serial number is not required.
Number Stream
This part of the serial number is to use a predefined number stream as defined in Number Stream Setup (NSS). If this is selected, you must enter the required Number Stream Code in the Value field.
Constant Value
This part of the serial number is always to be the same value. If this is selected, you must show the required value in the Value field.
User Input
This part of the serial number is to be completed by the user.
Note: Serial numbers can be created automatically in the Create Serial Numbers form used with Manual Inventory Allocations. To use this function the Serial Number Format must contain a number stream part and must not contain a user input part.
Part 1-4 Value
If the type of data selected in the Type field is Number Stream, you must enter the required Number Stream Code. If the type of data selected in the Type field is Constant Value, you must show the required value in this field.
Part 1-4 Length
This field specifies the number of characters for each part of the serial number.
Part 1-3 Delimiter
This field specifies the character to be used in between the different parts of the serial number. For example, a full stop or dash.
