So I am using BC 365 v19, and attempting to implement item serialization. So that each item has its own Item No. value, along with Serial No. values as they come into stock. I have defined a barcode mask of IIIIIIIIIIVVVVV as a means to this end. The goal is to be able to barcode scan the labels so that each serialized item is specifically identified.
My question involves how to define this in Item References for the items. I can assign a hard-coded Vendor Item No. value as a Vendor Reference No. But how/where do I define the serialization behavior as a Barcode reference? The Reference Type No. drop-down is empty, and the Reference No. field is looking for a static value. So I could populate the Item No. value in there, but what about the dynamic Serial No. value that needs to be appended to each new item that is put into stock?
