You can have more than one sequential number series running at the same time, or at different times. For example, you may want to use different sequences to represent different departments or branches, or you may want to use different sequences to represent different fiscal or calendar years.

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

To open the Number Series - Work Orders setting, ensure you are in the Service Orders module and double-click (Windows/macOS) or tap (iOS/Android) 'Number Series - Work 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 Work Orders.

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

When you create a Work Order, the next number in the first valid Number Series listed in this setting will be used as a default. If necessary, you can change to the next number in any other Number Series using 'Paste Special'.

If you leave the Number Series - Work Orders setting empty, Work Order Numbers will start at 1 and continue consecutively. If you want to start from another number, simply specify it in a new Work Order before saving.
