Content Organizer Rule - route new doc to auto created folder

Question

I have set up a content organizer rule and used the "Automatically create a folder for each unique value of a property:" Check box.  The folders are created properly but I now want to set up a rule that will route documents
to folders that have been automatically created.
E.g. I have uploaded a document with a serial number of 100-150 and a folder has been automatically created.
Now the user uploads a document and identifies the serial number the document as 100-150, I would like to route this new document to the folder that has already been created. 
Note: There will be numerous folders created as users upload new documents with new serial numbers, so creating a rule for everyone would not work.

Hi,
In edit Content Organizer rule page, I see there is an option as Automatically create a folder for each unique value of a property:
However, unlike the drop down used in the property based filters above, this drop down *only* contains properties that are required by your content type. 
This is done to prevent adding folders that have no values for a property. 
If you need to put similar documents to the same folder, you could consider making use of this feature.
