Setting Up Next Numbers for GST Legal Documents

You use the GST Legal Document Next Numbers program (P75I818) to set up next numbering for GST legal documents. Using the information that you set up in this program, the system assigns a valid next number for GST invoices.

You set up next numbering schemes for the combination of these values: legal company, legal document type, GST unit, legal document issue place, and the expiration date. The legal document issue place must be unique for each combination of the legal company, legal document type, and GST unit. The system concatenates the issue place and the next number that you set up in this program and forms the invoice number that is printed when you print the tax invoice.

You can use the same numbering scheme for different document types if you specify the legal document type in the Legal Document Type Same As field on the Legal Document Next Numbers form. However, you can use the same numbering scheme of an existing record only if the following conditions are met:

• You must have set up the new record with the same legal company, GST unit, issue place, and a date greater than the current date

• The next numbering scheme of the existing record must not already be set up for use for a different document type

If these conditions are not met, the system displays an error and you will not able to generate tax invoices.

The system stores the next numbering schemes for GST in the GST Legal Document Next Numbers table (F75I818).
