GP Serial Numbers

Posted on by Doug S 100

I'm setting up my inventory system in GP2013 and we were planning on using a 32 character GUID as our serial numbers but it looks like the serial number mask is limited to 20 characters.  Looking for options on a work around for this.  Any suggestions?

    Well unfortunately, the serial number in Dynamics GP is limited to 20 characters. The customization in here is quite complicated and would never guarantee the outcome as this is related to the core functionality of the system.

    Like Mahmoud, I don't think there's a workaround for this. How important is the 32 characters to you?

    I was afraid of that.  Is there anywhere that I can add a field to the serial number card/table to import the 32 character GUID that would be searchable?

    Review IV00200 table which is the serial table.  

    There is nothing in this table that would accommodate 32 character string.

    You may want to conceder an option to add a table that can store your GUIDs, references the standard serial numbers and updates/inserts/deletes with the triggers on IV00200 table.

    That is the standard functionality of the system.  The only work around I can think of is to keep the functionality of the system including the 20 characters serial number working, and create a mapping table including a mapping serial number with 32 character for each 20 character serial number. This is quite theoretical and is prone to testing to prove how practical such a suggestion would be.

    Although, I believe this is not going to be a simple customization. It does need a lot of testing and consideration since these serials numbers are processed by several inventory-related modules such as POP, SOP ...etc.

    Let us know how things go,
