Number Series - Production Plans

Whenever you enter a new Production Plan record, it will be given its own unique identifying number, based on a sequential number series.

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 - Production Plans setting allows you to take advantage of this feature. Here you can define the number sequences that you would like to use with Production Plans.

To open the Number Series - Production Plans setting, first ensure you are in the MRP module. Then, if you are using Windows or Mac OS X, click the [Settings] button in the Navigation Centre. If you are using iOS or Android, select 'Settings' from the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon). Double-click (Windows/Mac OS X) or tap (iOS/Android) 'Number Series - Production Plans' in the resulting list. The following window appears:

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 Production Plans.

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

When you enter a Production Plan, the next number in the first valid Number Series entered to this setting will be used as a default; change to the first unused number in any other valid Number Series using 'Paste Special'.

If you leave the setting empty, Production Plan Numbers will start at 1 and continue consecutively. If you want to start from another number, simply specify it in a new Production Plan record before saving.
