Overview (Sequence Numbering)

Oracle Financials lets you:

ita90000.gif Define an unlimited number of sequences, fixing the initial value for each sequence and the Applications that may use them

ita90000.gif Choose if the sequence numbers must be automatically generated by Oracle Financials or manually assigned by you

ita90000.gif Define a time period during which these sequences can generate or have numbers assigned

ita90000.gif Define an unlimited number of documents categories. There are, however, a number of default categories that come with the installation

ita90000.gif Combine one or more documents categories with a definite sequence

ita90000.gif Define a time period during which this combination is valid

These features can be used to manage the definition (automatic or manual) of VAT voucher numbers and other bookkeeping transactions.

To use the voucher correctly, you must enter only one company (Balancing Segment) for each set of books.

To define the vouchers structure to represent the particular characteristics of your company, for each area, you must follow the analysis and construction process as described below:

1. Define the documents managed by the company in the area of interest (for example, invoices A and invoices B).

2. Single out the document groups that (for organization, control, or fiscal reasons) can or must share the same voucher or, on the contrary, can or must have a different voucher.

3. Determine the voucher definition formalities (manual or automatic).

4. Define documents using standard functionality.

5. Define sequences using standard functionality.

6. Combine documents and sequences using standard functionality.

The following example illustrates how General Ledger, Oracle Payables, and Oracle Receivables define documents and sequences.
