This step identifies the serial numbering rule so it can be selected later from products or related transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enter a unique Name and optional Description. Keep the Active checkbox enabled so the record is available for selection during transaction entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The starting values determine where the serial number sequence begins and where the next number will be issued from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enter Start No as the first serial number in the sequence. Current Next initializes to the same value and updates automatically after each number is issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Increment controls sequence spacing, while Prefix and Suffix format the serial number for readability or classification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Set Increment to the desired step value. Enter Prefix or Suffix text if the serial number must include fixed identifiers, such as a location or product code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Exclude tab restricts this Serial No Control rule from applying to selected tables or Sales Transaction document types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Open the Exclude tab, add a new line, select the Table to exclude, and enable Sales Transaction if the exclusion applies only to sales documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Serial No Control window in iDempiere defines the rule set used to auto-generate serial numbers for products that require […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-idempiere-inventory","category-idempiere-product"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20200"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20200\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28107,"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20200\/revisions\/28107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tenthplanet.in\/idempiere\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/figure>\n\n\n\nField<\/strong><\/td> Sample Value<\/strong><\/td> Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead> Name<\/td> SN-WARRANTY-01<\/td> Unique identifier for this serial numbering rule<\/td><\/tr> Description<\/td> Warranty item serial rule<\/td> Optional explanatory text<\/td><\/tr> Active<\/td> Checked<\/td> Controls whether the rule is available for use<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Step 2: Set the Starting Sequence Values<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
