Understanding Next Numbers for Legal Documents

The numbering for each type of legal document must be consecutive. Because you can print some of the legal documents from more than one JD Edwards EnterpriseOne program, you set up next numbers for legal documents so that the system assigns a valid next number no matter which program you use to print a document.

You use the Legal Document Next Number program (P7400001) to set up different next numbering schemes for each type of legal document. For example, you might set up a next numbering scheme for standard invoices and a different next numbering scheme for VAT invoices.

The system stores the next numbering schemes in the Legal Document Next Numbers table (F7400001).
