Currently, TidyStock is really only designed to handle ONE set of Batch Numbers or Serial Numbers (not both). See screenshots below:

The above screenshot indicates that a unique identifier (we call it Batch No.) is given to a quantity of 5 items. Of course, this could be considered a Batch, however, if you were to give it a quantity of 1, then it could be classified as a Serial Number (as all Serial Numbers are unique). You can have as many unique identifiers for these items as you like.

Here we can see that the first part of the number before the hyphen is the Serial Number, and the last part is the Batch Number. For tracking and reporting purposes, we can report on both the Serial Number and/or the Batch Number (if you were to enable production and expiry dates, this can be reported on too).
