You can then assign a different (numbering) sequence to each document definition.
The four rules, that when combined, define what documents a selected sequence assigns numbers to are:
Application | You select the application that generates the documents you wish to number. |
For example, to number sales invoices, you select Oracle Receivables. | |
Category | You select a document category to identify a logical subset of documents. |
For example, if you do not want to number all invoices in Oracle Receivables, you can choose to number only the category of sales invoices. | |
A category identifies a table that stores transactions entered (documents generated) using an Oracle Application. | |
The Category values you can choose from to define a document are dependent upon the application you select. | |
Set of Books | You select the chart of accounts for your business that is affected by the documents you wish to number. You may optionally enable this rule through the Document Flexfield. |
Method | You select the method that your documents are entered, automatic or manual. You may optionally enable this rule through the Document Flexfield. |
Automatic is when a concurrent process, such as an external program, is set up to enter transaction data into an Oracle Application. | |
Manual is when a document is manually entered using a form in an application. |
Attention: When assigning sequences to a document definition, each active sequence can be assigned to only one unique combination of application and category (i.e., application table).
