# Product Serial Numbers

> Configure serial scan requirements for products to track which specific units were packed in orders, using consistent prefix and suffix identifiers for warranty tracking and quality control.

<div className="page-intro">
  Serial numbers are unique identifiers assigned sequentially to each individual unit of a product. Jetpack's Operations team scans serial numbers when picking products, allowing you to track exactly which specific units were packed in each order for warranty management, quality control, and traceability.
</div>

## Overview of Serial Numbers

A serial number is a unique identifier assigned sequentially to each individual unit of a product. Jetpack's Operations team scans the serial number when picking products, so you can track which specific units were packed.

**Key Points:**

* Each unit in an order gets its own serial number (e.g., if Item A is ordered with a quantity of 2, there will be 2 distinct serial numbers)
* To use the serial scan feature, you must include a consistent prefix and/or suffix across all units of the same SKU

**Example:** For 3 items with the prefix "123":

* 123ABC
* 123DEF
* 123GHI
