Serialized Data Management
The Serialization components let you define serial number format IDs according to various industry standards. This functionality lets you generate serial numbers on request and have full track and trace coverage throughout the life cycle of a serial ID from creation, commissioning, and receiving to inventory, aggregation onto a packaging unit, issuing, and shipping to a customer.
