You can have a number of sequential number series running at the same time, or at different times. For example, you may want to use different sequences to represent different years or different departments.

This Number Series - Production Orders setting allows you to take advantage of this feature. Here you can define the number sequences that you would like to use with Production Orders.

To open the Number Series - Production Orders setting, ensure you are in the Production module and double-click (Windows/macOS) or tap (iOS/Android) 'Number Series - Production Orders' in the Settings list. The following window will appear:

Enter each new Number Series on the first blank line. The sequences that you enter should not overlap. The Comment will be shown in the 'Paste Special' list, so enter some text that will help you choose a number from the correct sequence. The N/L field common to all Number Series settings is not used with Production Orders.

When the setting is complete, click the [Save] button (Windows/macOS) or tap √ (iOS/Android) to save the changes. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box or tap <.

When you enter a Production Order, the next number in the first valid Number Series entered to this setting will be used as a default. For a particular Production Order record, any user can change to the first unused number in any other valid Number Series using 'Paste Special'.

If you leave the Number Series - Production Orders setting empty, Production Order Numbers will all be taken from the same sequence, starting at 1 and continuing consecutively. If you want to start from another number, simply specify it in a new Production Order record before saving.
