Setting Up Next Numbers by Company and Year

Access the Next Numbers by Co/Fiscal Year form.

If you implement next numbers by company and fiscal year and you do not set up a company record on the Next Numbers by Co/Fiscal Year form:

  • For method 1, the system starts numbering with 1.

  • For method 2, the system uses the starting number from standard next numbers on the Set Up Next Numbers by System form.

Doc Type

Enter a value from user-defined code (UDC) table 00/DT that identifies the origin and purpose of the transaction. JD Edwards reserves several prefixes for document types, such as vouchers, invoices, receipts, and timesheets.

Same As Doc Type (same as document type)

Enter a value that identifies a document type in UDC table 00/DT. The document type controls the next number that the system uses.

If you set up next numbers by company or by company and fiscal year, a document type can share the same next number sequence as another document type. For example, you create a recurring invoice (document type RR). The recurring invoice that you create should use the same next number sequence as regular invoices (document type RI). In this example, you would set up the document type RR with a same as document type of RI.

Imbed Digits

Enter the number of digits that the system imbeds in a document number to represent the fiscal year. Imbed digits apply only to next numbers by fiscal year. Values are:

1: Imbed one digit.

The last digit of the fiscal year will be imbedded in the first position of the resulting document number. For example, in 70012345, the first digit represents the 7 from 2007, and the remainder of the number (0012345) is the next number.

2: Imbed two digits.

The last two digits of the fiscal year will be imbedded in the first two positions of the resulting document number. For example, in 07012345, the first two digits represent the 07 from 2007, and the remainder of the number (012345) is the next number.

Auto Reset

Enter the number that you want the system to use when resetting next numbers for a new fiscal year. The system begins next numbering for a new year with the number that you specify. Auto reset applies only to next numbers by fiscal year.
