      <Paragraph>Registering serial numbers means that you allocate serial
		numbers to serialized items for a particular warehouse transaction such as a
		receipt or an issue, or during production or maintenance of the item. To
		allocate serial numbers, you must enter new serial numbers or link existing
		serial numbers to the items.</Paragraph>
   </AimSection>
   <GeneralSection>
      <SectionTitle>Serial number entry in ERP Enterprise</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>You must enter serial numbers if no serial numbers exist in ERP Enterprise, for example, for
		items purchased from a supplier, or for new items that you manufacture. If you
		register serial numbers by entering new numbers, the new serial numbers are
		stored in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd4501m000" role="session">Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000)</GUIRef> session and in the
		session that you used to enter the warehouse transaction or item
		production.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>To enter new serial numbers, you can generate serial numbers or
		manually enter serial numbers. If you generate serial numbers, the required
		number of serial numbers is generated according to a user-defined mask. For
		further information, see <Link href="/baanerp/wh/onlinemanual/000375" role="manual">To set up serialized items</Link>. If you manually
		enter a serial number, the serial number is not entered according to the mask
		format.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can generate serial numbers in the following
		sessions:</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>During the production of a new item, you must enter or
		  generate the serial number of the item, provided that the item is defined as a
		  serialized item. The serial numbers of the new item are entered in ERP Enterprise in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd4501m000" role="session">Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000)</GUIRef> session and linked to the production order in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/mfc/timfc0110m000" role="session">Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000)</GUIRef> session. The stage at which serial
		  number entry is required, is determined by parameter settings in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/sfc/tisfc0100s000" role="session">Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000)</GUIRef> session. For further information, see <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000360" role="manual">Serialized items in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti" role="package">Manufacturing</GUIRef>
            </Link>.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>In some environments, which you can model in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd4100s000" role="session">Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000)</GUIRef> session, you must generate serial numbers for
		  purchased items during their receipt in the warehouse. As a result, the serial
		  numbers are entered in ERP Enterprise in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd4501m000" role="session">Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000)</GUIRef> session and linked to the receipt in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3123m000" role="session">Receipt Line Lots and Serials (whinh3123m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>In some situations, you must generate serial numbers for
		  purchased items during issue from the warehouse if the supplier did not provide
		  these items with serial numbers, or you did not generate serial numbers during
		  receipt. This can occur, for example, if you issue the purchased items to the
		  shop floor, where you use the items as components for particular end
		  items.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>Often serial number entry into ERP Enterprise is performed
		  automatically by means of a scanning device. For example, purchased items
		  provided with a serial number by the supplier are scanned during receipt into
		  the warehouse. The scanned serial numbers are automatically entered in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd4501m000" role="session">Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000)</GUIRef> session and linked to the receipt in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/inh/whinh3123m000" role="session">Receipt Line Lots and Serials (whinh3123m000)</GUIRef> session. Usually, in such cases the supplier's
		  serial number format is used.</Paragraph>

      <SectionTitle>To link serial numbers</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>You must link existing serial numbers, for example, if you issue
		serialized items for which serial numbers were generated in an earlier stage of
		the goods flow, or if you receive serialized manufactured end items from the
		shop floor. If you register serial numbers by linking existing serial numbers,
		you select the serial numbers from the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd4501m000" role="session">Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000)</GUIRef> session and allocate them to the receipt line,
		shipment line, production order line, or work order line.</Paragraph>
      <ExampleSection>
         <SectionTitle>Example of linking serial numbers to issued serialized
		  items</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>Serial numbers are generated for 500 purchased items during
		  various receipts. At a later stage, 20 of these items are issued to the shop
		  floor to be used as a component for the production of a particular end item.
		  When you issue these items for a particular outbound order of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.ittp#issue" role="option">Issue</GUIRef> transaction type and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/ltc.tord#production" role="option">SFC Production</GUIRef> origin, to register serial numbers, you must link 20 serial
		  numbers from the existing 500 serial numbers.</Paragraph>

      <ExampleSection>
         <SectionTitle>Example of linking serial numbers to received serialized

         <Paragraph>Serial numbers are generated for 500 manufactured end items
		  during production. For these items, ERP Enterprise generates a warehousing order of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/inh.ittp#receipt" role="option">Receipt</GUIRef> transaction type and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/domains/ltc.tord#production" role="option">SFC Production</GUIRef> origin.
