In the Produmex Item Serial Number Format window serial number formats can be defined. The defined format applies to SAP serial numbers and Produmex serial numbers as well.

In the Serial Format column define the format of the serial number in .Net regular expression (regex). For more information on regex click here.

Example of serial number format:

• (SN)[0-9]{8}
• ^(SN)[0-9]{8}$

Symbols:

• The value in parenthesis ( ) is a constant character-string.
  
• The value in brackets [ ] defines the range of valid character values, e.g. 0-9, A-Z.
  
• The value in braces { } defines the length of the character set provided in the brackets [ ].
  
• The caret symbol ^ and the dollar symbol $ can be used to define the beginning and the end of the serial number pattern.

The defined formats are displayed in the Serial Number Format drop-down menu on the General tab of the Item Master Data window.
