	</AimSection>
	<ProcedureSection><Steps><Step><StepTitle>Define serialized item</StepTitle>
				<Paragraph>To enable the allocation of serial numbers to items, you must define an item as a serialized item. You can define every type of item defined in SSA ERP as a serialized item. The following options are available to define items as serialized:</Paragraph>
				<List><ListItemHead>Serialized in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts" role="package">Service</GUIRef>
					</ListItemHead>
					<ListItem>To define an item as serialized in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts" role="package">Service</GUIRef>, in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/mdm/tsmdm2100m000#tsmdm200.seri" role="formfield">Configuration Controlled</GUIRef> field of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/mdm/tsmdm2100m000" role="session">Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000)</GUIRef> session, select <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/domains/mdm.cctr#serialized" role="enum">Serialized</GUIRef>. If you define an item as serialized in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts" role="package">Service</GUIRef>, the item is serialized for all transactions in the service and maintenance goods flow. However, SSA ERP enters serial numbers for items that are only defined as serialized in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts" role="package">Service</GUIRef> both in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd4501m000" role="session">Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000)</GUIRef> session in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc" role="package">Common Data</GUIRef> and in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ts/cfg/tscfg2100m000" role="session">Serialized Items (tscfg2100m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
					<ListItemHead>Serialized in the other SSA ERP areas</ListItemHead>
					<ListItem>To define an item as a serialized item for all other SSA ERP areas, you must select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0101s000#tcibd001.seri" role="formfield">Serialized</GUIRef> check box in the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0101s000" role="session">Item - General (tcibd0101s000)</Link> session.</ListItem>
				</List>
			</Step>
			<Step><StepTitle>Define mask</StepTitle>
				<List><ListIntro>SSA ERP generates serial numbers according to a <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000300" role="glossary">mask</Link>. See <Link href="/baanerp/tc/onlinemanual/000305" role="manual">To define a mask</Link> for information on how you can define masks for serial numbers and link the masks to:</ListIntro>
					<ListItem>Item groups</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Items</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Tools</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Lots</ListItem>
				</List>
				<Paragraph>If no specific mask can be found, SSA ERP uses the company's default mask.</Paragraph>
				<List><ListIntro>If the mask includes a <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/ibd.sety#baanfield" role="enum">SSA ERP LN Field</GUIRef> segment that reflects the contents of a SSA ERP field, the mask is only generated correctly if the following conditions are both true:</ListIntro>
					<ListItem>The field belongs to the package in which the serial number is generated.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>The field has a value.</ListItem>
				</List>
			</Step>
			<Step><StepTitle>Select scenario for serialized item</StepTitle>
				<Paragraph>To select the low volume scenario, in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000" role="session">Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000)</GUIRef> session, select the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000#whwmd400.sinv" role="formfield">Serials in Inventory</Link> check box. Clear this check box if the high volume scenario is required. For further information on low volume and high volume scenarios, see <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000382" role="manual">Serialized items in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh" role="package">Warehouse Management</GUIRef>
					</Link>.</Paragraph>
			</Step>
			<Step><StepTitle>Select additional tracking</StepTitle>
				<Paragraph>To track the orders by means of which serialized items were received or issued, in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000" role="session">Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000)</GUIRef> session, select the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000#whwmd400.srtr" role="formfield">Serial Tracking</Link> check box. This setting applies to both the high volume and the low volume scenario. However, for the high volume scenario, to view orders for which serialized items are received, you must also select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000#whwmd400.sedr" role="formfield">Serial Number Entry During Receipt</GUIRef> check box.</Paragraph>
			</Step>
			<Step><StepTitle>Select high volume serial number registration options</StepTitle>
				<Paragraph>For the high volume scenario, in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000" role="session">Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000)</GUIRef> session, the following options are available to enable registration of serial numbers:</Paragraph>
				<List><ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000#whwmd400.sedr" role="fieldhelp">Serial Number Entry During Receipt</Link>
					</ListItem>
					<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000#whwmd400.sedt" role="formfield">Serial Number Entry During Transfer</Link>

					<ListItem><Link href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000#whwmd400.sism" role="fieldhelp">Register Serial Issue in Service &amp; Maintenance</Link>
					</ListItem>
				</List>
				<Paragraph>Note that you must always register serial numbers for issues from the warehouse. If you selected <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/ynna#yes" role="enum">Yes</GUIRef> for the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000#whwmd400.sisf" role="fieldhelp">Register Serial Issue During As Built</Link> and/or the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000#whwmd400.sism" role="fieldhelp">Register Serial Issue in Service &amp; Maintenance</Link> fields, you must register serial numbers for issues of origins other than <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/ltc.tord#production" role="enum">SFC Production</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/ltc.tord#maint.work" role="enum">Maintenance Work</GUIRef>. For an overview of the results of these settings, see <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000376" role="manual">Overview of the high volume serial registration settings</Link>.</Paragraph>
