Hansa allows the definition of several Number Series (number sequences) for use in generating Order Numbers, Invoice Numbers, Transaction Numbers and so on. By default, Hansa will select the next available number from the first Number Series defined for the current period whenever a new record is created.

If you have several number sequences in each Number Series setting, you can specify here which one is to be used as the default when creating new records in each register. This default will be overridden if the current user has a Number Series specified on the 'Ser Nos' card of their record in the Person register.

Take care to specify a number in each field that falls in a recognised Number Series. If a number is specified that is not in a Number Series, new records in the affected register will not be given serial numbers when they are created. The implications of this are quite far reaching: for example, Invoices will not be created by any of the remote Invoice creation functions (e.g. from Sales Orders). This situation will be most common in cases where Number Series are tied to a period such as a calendar year and that period ends.

If you are not using Number Series, Hansa will normally start numbering transaction records from 1.
