How to generate Serialized Codes?
Step-by-Step Guide to Generate Serialized Codes
1. Navigate to ‘Batches’.
- Navigate to ‘Tags’ > ‘Batches’.
- Click on ‘Create Batch’ in the top-right corner.
2. Select the Product
- Use the drop-down menu to choose the product for which you want to request a batch.
3. Enter Batch Name
- Type a unique name in the ‘Batch ID’ field.
- Example: SmartChef_Oven_Batch1.
4. Select Dates (Optional)
- Choose a ‘Manufacturing Date’ if required.
- The ‘Expiry Date/Best Before’ field is optional and can be left blank.
5. Choose Serial Number Type
- Select either ‘Sequential’ or ‘Random’ for the ‘Serial Number Type’.
Random Serial Numbers, on the other hand, use underscores ("_") as placeholders for random alphanumeric characters. For example, with the prefix JAN19 and the pattern ____, the output could be JAN19ABCD, JAN19WXYZ, or JAN19X1YD. No placeholders are added for random characters if not specified.
6. Sequential Serial Numbers
- Enter the following details:
- Prefix (e.g., SO-).
- Start Serial Number (e.g.,100).
- Number of Items (e.g., 10).
- The system will generate serial numbers in order based on the provided range.
- Example:
- Prefix: SO-.
- Start Serial Number: 100.
- Number of Items: 10.
- Generated serial numbers: SO-100, SO-101,SO-102.....SO-110.
- Once all details are entered, click on ‘Request Tag’.
- The batch with serialized codes will then be processed.
Note: A single-digit or double-digit number will not work for serial number generation. Ensure you use more than three numbers for proper functionality.
Regarding the query above, since you are generating serial numbers, you should enter values like 00001 or 10001 in the Start Serial # field.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can easily create a batch with serialized codes. This ensures efficient generation and management of product tags, enhancing inventory and warranty tracking.
FAQ
1. What are serialized codes in Dyrect?
Serialized codes are unique identifiers (numbers or QR codes) assigned to individual products. They help in tracking, authentication, and warranty registration.
2. Can customers use serialized codes?
Yes. Customers can scan QR codes to verify product authenticity, activate warranties, and earn loyalty points.
3. What is the difference between Sequential and Random serial numbers?
-
Sequential: Generated in a continuous numeric order (e.g., 001, 002, 003).
-
Random: Generated using alphanumeric characters based on the pattern defined with underscores (e.g., JAN19ABCD).
4. Why is my single-digit or double-digit serial number not working?
Dyrect requires more than three digits for accurate serial number generation. Use formats like 0001, 0100, or 10001.
5. What should I enter in the Start Serial Number field?
Enter a number with at least four to five digits, such as 00001 or 10001, for correct sequential generation.
6. Can I leave the expiry date blank while generating a batch?
Yes. The Expiry Date/Best Before field is optional, and you may leave it empty.
7. Can I edit a batch after generating serialized codes?
No. Once a batch is generated, serialized codes cannot be changed or edited.
8. What happens after I click ‘Request Tag’?
The system processes your request and generates the batch with serialized codes. These codes can then be printed or used for QR tag generation.
9. Can two batches have the same Batch ID?
No. The Batch ID must be unique for every batch created.
10. What if I choose Random serial numbers but don’t add underscores in the pattern?
If you don’t add underscores (“_”), the system will only use the prefix without generating random characters—resulting in identical serial numbers. Always add underscores to create variations.
11. Can I generate serialized codes for any product?
Yes, as long as the product is available in your product list under the Dyrect portal.
12. Will the system notify me when the batch is generated?
No direct notification is sent, but the generated batch will appear under the Batches section once processed.
