Number Series - Simulations

This page describes the Number Series - Simulations setting in the Nominal Ledger.

---

Whenever you enter a new Simulation, it will be given a unique identifying number, based on a sequential number series.

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

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

To open the Number Series - Simulations setting, ensure you are in the Nominal Ledger and double-click (Windows/macOS) or tap (iOS/Android) 'Number Series - Simulations' 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 Simulations.

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).

Once you have defined number sequences for Simulations, Simulation Numbers will be taken from the first valid Number Series in this setting. For a particular Simulation, you can change to the first unused number in any other Number Series using 'Paste Special'.

If you leave the Number Series - Simulations setting empty, Simulation 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 Simulation before saving.

If you are working in a multi-user environment, the Simulation Number will be assigned when you first save a Simulation, chosen as described above and providing you have not already specified a number yourself.
