Creating Advanced Numbering Rules by Transaction Type
Advanced numbering sequences combine a rule set and its rules. You can add as many rules as you need for any standard or custom transaction type. You create an advanced numbering rule in three steps:
-
Enter the number format, including prefix and suffix, for 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) for the sequence. Advanced Numbering creates a unique sequence for each combination 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 to limit Advanced Numbering to the following:
-
Transactions that happen after you enabled the feature
-
Transactions that happen after the date you want to start using Advanced Numbering.
For more information, see Selecting the Criteria.
