# Serial number set up

## How to set up a serial number on a product card

- Choose a field on the product card where you indicate whether or not an item uses a serial number. For example, set 1 in *gr10* if the item should have a serial number.
- We check this field from the product card in the line query during receiving/picking and set *UseSerialno* to 1 or 0 based on that. If *UseSerialno* is set to 1, serial number mode will be activated on the handheld terminal for that item line, and you must enter a certain number of serial numbers instead of setting a quantity.
- *Addserialnos* on the exporter is set to true to enable the addition of serial numbers in the serial number table in Business.

In essence, the process works the same way in both picking and receiving. You can scan GS1-128 barcodes with GTIN serial numbers in both modules without problems. If you scan a barcode that contains both, the serial number screen opens, and the serial number is added. From there you can scan the next barcodes and the handheld terminal understands that it should enter the serial number part of the barcode as the serial number.

**Here is an example of the ABK setup with a serial number mask, in case this needs to be explained.**

```
CASE a.maingroupno WHEN 1 THEN '^[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}$' WHEN 2 THEN '^[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}$' WHEN 3 THEN '^[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}$' WHEN 5 THEN '^[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}$' WHEN 17 THEN '^' + a.supplartno + '[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}$' ELSE '' END AS serialnomask
```
