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

Use this setting to define these sequences, or Number Series. The different series should not overlap. In contrast to other registers, at least one Number Series must be defined for the Transaction register before any records can be entered.

Once defined, Number Series can be allocated to individual users using the Person register in the System module ('Ser Nos' card). In the Trans 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 in the list will be used. For a particular Transaction, any user can change to any other Number Series using 'Paste Special'.

On double-clicking 'Number Series - Transactions' 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.
