Serial Number entry

[Former Member]

i have created a serial number profile for deliveries where the user can enter the first serial number manually and create the rest automatically.

Sometimes on large deliveries with 110 pieces have different serial numbers that are not in order assigned to them.

example 20 pieces have a serial number range of 1 -20

40 have it from 40-80

10 have it from 90-100

30 have it 110-140

How can someone enter all of them without manually doing it one by one which is realistically not feasible.

Hi there,

When you automate the serial num entry, as per the standard process, system will assign the next available serial num in the system. In your case could be that some serial num in between are already assigned. This is same as generate serial num automatically function where the system will assign the next available serial num.

Is it possible that others performing the same task are 'stealing' ranges.

Does this happen all the time or when the system is busy?
