02.04 Document Numbering Format Maintenance

Here you may set as many document numbering formats as you wish, for any type of document.
Go to General Maintenance > Document Numbering Format Maintenance

Name: assign a name for the new numbering format.

Document Type: this is automatically selected because you have highlighted the type before clicking on New.

Default: we can set this format to be the default format later.

Next Number: the next running number of this document type.

Format: read the Hint carefully and you may try to set your own running numbering format. For my example, ‘INV’ is the prefix, the small letter ‘yy’ means the last 2 digit of the current year, ‘MM’ means current month, ‘-‘ is a fixed character, and ‘<00000>’ is the running number. (MM or yy must be preceded with @ sign)

Sample: while you are typing the format, a sample is displayed to give you an immediate view of the output.

You may also set each month to start with different running number.

Click on ‘+’ or ‘-‘ sign button to add years, then highlight the year, and fill in the starting number for each month. Then proceed to another year.

Then click on Save.
