      <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 LN as a serialized
			 item.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>Note, however, that
			 to define an item as a serialized item, the <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000337" role="glossary">inventory unit</Link> defined for the item multiplied by the
			 item's <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#RoundiFactor_tc" role="glossary">rounding factor</Link> must be a full integer,
			 such as 1.0. This is because serial numbers are only allocated to individual
			 items, not fractions thereof. You can define units and rounding factors in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/mcs/tcmcs0101m000" role="session">Units (tcmcs0101m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>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="manual">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="option">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, LN enters
