Options Form - Serials Tab
The Serials Tab appears on the I/C Options form if you have the Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking license installed. Use the options on this form to define the default settings that pertain to the assignment and allocation of serial numbers when working with serialized items.
Use the Item Defaults section to define the default Serial Number Mask that appears for all serialized items. You can change this on an item by item basis using the I/C Items form.
To enforce a validity period for your serial numbers, select the Days to Expiry checkbox and enter the number of days from creation to expiry. If enforcing an expiry period for serial numbers, you should also make a selection from the Expired Serial Allocation Message list.
Select the Allow Serial Quantities to be Different from the Quantity in Entries checkbox to make it optional that all serialized items have a serial number assigned before a transaction can be saved.
The Separators Used in Serial Mask Structures section lists the different characters that can be used to separate segments in Serial Masks. If you want to exclude a character from being used when creating a serial mask, make sure the Use column is set to No for that character.
When using the Auto-allocation feature to automatically assign serial numbers, the order in which available numbers appear is determined by the settings in the Auto-allocation section.
The Use the Qty Ordered field in OE for the Allocation of Serial Numbers checkbox affects the Sage Accpac Order Entry program. When selected, the quantity of serial numbers that needs to be allocated to ordered items will be determined by the Quantity Ordered field in Order Entry.
