Number Series - Sales Orders

Each Order has its own unique identifying number, based on a sequential series. When entering a new Order, the next number in the series is used. If required, you can have a number of such sequences running concurrently, perhaps representing different years, different departments or different order types.

Use this setting to define these sequences, or Number Series. The different series should not overlap. If no Number Series have been defined, Order Numbers will start at 1 and continue consecutively.

Once defined, Number Series can be allocated to individual users using the Person register in the System module ('Ser Nos' card). In the Order No field on that screen, enter the first number of the appropriate sequence for each user. If a particular user is not given a specific sequence, the first Number Series will be used. For a particular Order, any user can change to any other Number Series using 'Paste Special'.

On double-clicking 'Number Series - Sales Orders' in the 'Settings' list, the following window appears:

Enter each new Number Series on the first blank line and, when finished, click the [Save] button in the Button Bar to save the changes. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box.

The N/L field common to all Number Series settings is not used in this instance.
