RE: Serial number

["Eric Wolf" <eric_a_wolf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Teresa,

  One other thing that I forgot to tell you...XA documents suggest using the
  Lot Number for entering/storing the Serial number and that may work fine
  for companies that do not ship that many units (since each serial number
  has to be a Lot Number).  But for my customer, which was already using
  Location Control, would have created much more keying than the Shipping
  Dept was willing to do...
