Receipt Number Receiving Parameters

This table describes the receipt number receiving parameters.

Receiving Parameter Display Name	Effect
Generation	Defines the receipt number generation method for receipt numbers. Choices include Automatic and Manual.
Type	Defines the receipt number type that you want to use for receipt numbers. Options include Numeric or Alphanumeric. If you select the manual receipt number generation option, you can select numeric or alphanumeric numbers. You can change the receipt number type from numeric to alphanumeric at any time. You can change the receipt number type from alphanumeric to numeric only if all of your current receipt numbers are numeric. Note: These notes apply to the receipt number type: If you select automatic receipt number generation, you can generate only numeric receipt numbers, but you can still import either numeric or alphanumeric values from another application. If you have any alphanumeric documents in your application, you must select the alphanumeric option as your number type, regardless of your numbering method. The ordering of numeric values in lists of values can appear random when you use the alphanumeric number type. If you're using alphanumeric numbering, consider entering all numeric values with the same number of digits. For example, if you can assume all numeric values contain six digits, you should enter the first value as 000001.
Next Number	Sets the starting value that you want to use for generating unique sequential receipt numbers if you select the automatic receipt number generation method. The application displays the next receipt number that will be used for a new receipt creation. You can't enter this field if you select the manual receipt generation method. The next number value that you enter here's incremented by 1 to generate the next receipt. For example, if you set the value for the Next Number field to 1 and create a new receipt, the new receipt shows a receipt number of 2.

Note: For Self-Service Receiving, you must select Automatic for the Generation parameter and Numeric for the Type parameter.
