Defining Auto Generated Numbering in Snapshot Simulations
You can enable auto numbering support for your organization’s snapshot simulations. For example, you can apply auto-numbering in the following ways:
-
Set up auto-numbering for simulations on the supply chain snapshot.
-
You can configure the system to apply auto-numbering to manual and auto generated simulations.
-
The update option enables you to apply auto-numbering to existing simulations.
To define auto-generated numbers:
-
Go to Setup > Company > Auto-Generated Number.
For more information, see Set Auto-Generated Numbers.
-
In the Entities subtab, beside Supply Chain Snapshot Simulation, check the Enable box.
-
Click the Other subtab.
-
In the Prefix column, enter the letters or numbers that you want to appear in front of every record number of this type.
For example, you could add the prefix CUST to identify your customer records.
-
In the Suffix column, enter letters or numbers you want to appear after every record number of that type.
For example, 2021.
-
In the Minimum Digits column, enter the lowest number of digits you want in your auto-generated numbering code. Valid values for this field range from 0–20.
For example, if you enter 4, your first record is 0001.
-
In the Initial Number column, enter the number you want your first numbered record to be.
The Current Number displays.
-
To enter your own name or number on records, check the Allow Override box.
Checking this box clears the Auto box on records. If you do not check this box, you cannot edit the numbers on records that serve as the record name.
-
To assign a number to all existing records of this type, check the Update box.
-
Click Save.
