Creating Advanced Numbering Rules by Transaction Type
Advanced numbering sequences are a combination of an advanced numbering rule set and its associated rules. You can add as many rules for a selected standard and custom transaction type as you need. You create an advanced numbering rule using a three-step workflow:
-
Enter the number format, including the prefix and suffix, to use in your numbering sequence. For more information, see Entering the Number Format.
-
Use the Sequences by Segment subtab to select a segment (fiscal year, subsidiary, or location) on which to apply the sequence. Advanced Numbering creates a unique sequence for each combination of segments you select. For more information, see Selecting the Sequences by Segment.
-
Use the Criteria subtab to set when to apply the sequence. You must have at least one criterion. You should use Date as a criterion to limit Advanced Numbering to the following:
-
Transactions which occur after the feature was enabled
-
Transactions which occur after the date you want to start numbering transactions with Advanced Numbering.
For more information, see Selecting the Criteria.
