Migrating Existing Numbering Rules to Advanced Numbering Rules
When you enable Advanced Numbering for a transaction type, NetSuite moves your existing numbering settings into a standard advanced numbering rule for that transaction type. When NetSuite moves your numbering settings:
-
The prefix, suffix, minimum digits, and initial number from your old settings go into the same fields in the standard rule.
-
The subsidiary or location is added to the prefix field in the standard rule.
-
The advanced numbering rule uses your existing document or transaction number prefixes for subsidiaries or locations. For more information, see Creating Subsidiary Records and Creating Locations.
