  Hi Adam,
  
  You can convert from Alphanumeric(Base36)to decimal(Base10) by calculation
  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_36
  
  for who being lazy like me, use conversion web site like below
  www.unitconversion.org/numbers/base-10-to-base-36-conversion.html
  
  (the websites are not related to Seagull Scientific.)
  
  Base36:Base10
  A0001:16796161
  AW3YY:18294298
  AZZZZ:18475775
  
  AW3YY - A0001 = 1498137
  AZZZZ - A0001 = 1679614
  
  To keep track both alpha-numeric and decimal serial number, you can have two serialized text on a label.
  (you can specify not to print a text, by modify object > General tab > Do Not print Object)
  
  Hope that helps!
