    2525class AccessCode(grok.Model):
    2626    """An access code (aka PIN).
     27
     28    Implements
     29    :class:`waeup.sirp.accesscodes.interfaces.IAccessCode`. :class:`AccessCode`
     30    instances are normally part of an :class:`AccessCodeBatch` so
     31    their representation (or code) is built with the containing batch
     32    involved.
     33
     34    `batch_serial`
     35       the serial number of the new :class:`AccessCode` inside its batch.
     36
     37    `random_num`
     38       a 10-digit number representing the main part of the code.
     39
     40    :class:`AccessCode` instances normally have a representation (or
     41    code) like
     42
     43      ``APP-XXX-YYYYYYYYYY``
     44
     45    where ``APP`` is the prefix of the containing batch, ``XXX`` is
     46    the batch number and ``YYYYYYYYYY`` is the real code. The complete
     47    PIN is portal-wide unique.
     48
     49    Access code instances are far more than simple strings. They have
     50    a state, a history (so that all changes can be tracked) and a
     51    cost (given as a float number).
     52
     53    The state of an access code is something like 'used', 'disabled',
     54    etc. and determined by the workflow defined in
     55    :mod:`waeup.sirp.accesscodes.workflow`. This also means that
     56    instead of setting the status of an access code directly (you
     57    can't do that easily, and yes, that's intentionally), you have to
     58    trigger a transition (that might fail, if the transition is not
     59    allowed in terms of logic or permissions). See
     60    :mod:`waeup.sirp.accesscodes.workflow` for details.
