Sequence Method

The Sequence method recreates the sequence numbers for the records in the current business component. It does this only if sequencing is enabled for this business component. Siebel CRM sets the starting value depending on which of the following situations is true:

• A field in a business component includes a sequenced field. For example, the FS Agreement Item business component includes the Line Number field. The Sequence Field user property specifies this Line Number field as the sequence field. The following business component is the corresponding business component:

  FS Agreement Item.Line Number (Sequence)

  The Predefault Value property of the sequence field defines the starting value for the sequence. This value is typically not 1.

• A predefault value is not set for the sequence. Siebel CRM defaults the starting value for the sequence to 1.

You can configure Siebel CRM to call the Sequence method from each item described in Calling a Method.
