Documentation

Definition

The serial number is the number that is assigned by the manufacturer for an individual technical object.

Use

You can use the serial number as a complement to the manufacturer part number.

Examples

You buy three technical objects of the same type from a manufacturer. The part number assigned by the manufacturer to the three objects is "T-4711" in each case. You cannot differentiate between the technical objects using just the part number.
However, the manufacturer can allocate an individual serial number to each individual object, which then compliments the manufacturer part number:

Manufacturer part number:    T-4711

Serial number of object 1:    001

Serial number of object 2:    002

Serial number of object 3:    003
