Validate External Serial Number

How do I apply a validation mask to an external serial number? For a specific material, I want to only accept a serial number with a certain format when that component is assembled to the parent.

I tried setting up a validation mask for this material, associating the mask group to the material, and assigning EN521 to the EXTERNAL_SERIAL Data Type. But I am still able to enter any number when I assemble the component. Am I missing as step or is this validation not possible?

Hi Alli,

Check the activity rule for EN521 includes the "EXTERNAL_SERIAL" Data Field on which you are doing the mask validation.
