# Serial Control

P4 Warehouse Serial Control

Serial Controlled Products

After creating the basic product as listed [here](/p4warehouse-english/setup/products.md). You will select the attribute serial controlled. If your product always arrives with the same sequence for the serial number, you can add a serial number mask to prevent accidently scanning the wrong barcode into the serial number field. In the photo below the mask is DJ plus five digits. Unknown digits are notated with an underscore \_.

Example: DJ\_\_\_\_\_
