Serial number Generating

I am trying to create a spreadsheet so that I can auto populate Cells depending on the quantity of parts requiring a serial number. Our serial number format looks like this "1102-0001" Basically 11 is the year, 02 is the month followed by 4 digits. For the next month the serial number would change to "1103-0001". Basically the month number changes and the 4 digits go back to 0001.
At present I have a front end page which I populate with all the part info required, then this is automatically copied into sheet 2. So sheet 2 is the long list of parts. Unfortunatley this is a pain if I have a part if we are making lots of exactly the same product but each one has to have its own serial number.
Ideally I need something where if the first serial number lets say is 1102-0001 and I could put 10 off in another cell, I would then click a button that says generate then a Macro would go and copy all the info from sheet 1 10 times onto the list on sheet 2 exactly the same but just changing the serial number accordingly, so the last one would be 1102-0010. Please let me know if any body else has tried to do something like this and has a solution.

I just want a list of all our products with the serial numbers next to them. The info we have to record for the product are things like Part Number, Date of Manufacture, Order Number etc. So if we were to ever have a problem we just need to look at the label on the product, put the serial number into the spreadsheet so I can find when we built it, what order number it went out on for tracebility, etc etc.
