Understanding Next Numbers
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Health and Safety Incident Management system uses a standard next number for Incident Number. You need to set the starting incident number prior to using the system. Use the Work With Next Number program (P0002 or enter NN in the Fast Path field) to set up the incident number for system 54HS - Health & Safety Incident Management. You should not select the Check Digit Used option.
Next numbers is an automatic numbering utility. The Next Numbers program assigns numbers to documents using one or both of these:
Standard next numbers.
The system finds the next available number in the Next Numbers - Automatic table (F0002) and assigns that number to the document.
Next numbers by company and fiscal year.
The system finds the next available number by company and fiscal year or by company only in the Next Numbers by Company/Fiscal Year - Automatic table (F00021).
Next numbers work in conjunction with the data dictionary. Each data dictionary item that uses next numbers contains a next-numbering index value that corresponds to the line number that contains the next number value for that data item.
