Setting Up System Next Numbers for Service Management

Access the Set Up Next Numbers by System form.

Next Number Range 1

The number that the system will assign next. The system can use next numbers for voucher numbers, invoice numbers, journal entry numbers, employee numbers, address numbers, contract numbers, and sequential W-2s. You must use the next number types that are already established unless you provide custom programming.

The system uses the starting number that is displayed on Set Up Next Numbers by System (standard next numbers) for each company that you do not set up.

Chk Dgt (check digit)

Select to add a check digit.

This option specifies whether the system adds a number to the end of each next number that is assigned. For example, if you are using check digits and the next number is 2, the system will add a check digit such as 7, making the last two numbers 27. The check digits option provides a method for increasing numbers randomly to prevent the assignment of transposed numbers. In this example, the system would never assign next number 72 while the check digits option is activated.
