The Next Numbers program controls the automatic numbering in many JD Edwards World systems. The program stores the increment for the next available number in the Next Numbers table (F0002) and automatically assigns the next available number when one is assigned.
Next numbers are commonly used for:
Document number
Address Book number
Next numbers works in conjunction with the data dictionary. Each data dictionary item that uses next numbers contains a next numbering index value, which corresponds to the line number containing the next number value for that data item.
