These examples show serial numbers for job and miscellaneous receipt transactions that were created using prefix definitions.
NOTE: Separate sections of data with a hyphen (-), especially when reference number, line-suffix, and release are used. This makes the serial number more readable and ensures that you get the expected results. Hyphens are defined via constants on the Prefix Definition form.

In this example there are two hyphens (--) next to each other because inventory transactions do not have a line-suffix value.
