Number Series - Work Sheets

This page describes the Number Series - Work Sheets setting in the Service Orders module.

---

Whenever you enter a new Work Sheet, it will be given a 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 - Work Sheets setting allows you to take advantage of this feature. Here you can define the number sequences that you would like to use with Work Sheets.

To open the Number Series - Work Sheets setting, ensure you are in the Service Orders module and double-click (Windows/macOS) or tap (iOS/Android) 'Number Series - Work Sheets' 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 gives you a measure of control over whether Nominal Ledger Transactions will be generated automatically when you mark Work Sheets in a particular sequence as OK and save them. Using 'Paste Special' from the N/L field brings up a selection list containing two options: "Generate Transactions" and "Do not Generate Transactions". Select the first option if Nominal Ledger Transactions are to be generated and the second if they are not. In effect, this feature is an exclusionary one in that you can only choose to not have Nominal Ledger Transactions created for a particular number sequence. If the overall preference (set in the Sub Systems setting in the Nominal Ledger) is to not have such transactions created, you cannot decide to have them created for a single sequence.

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).

When you enter a Work Sheet, the next number in the first valid Number Series listed in this setting will be used as a default. If necessary, you can change to the next number in any other Number Series using 'Paste Special'.

If you leave the Number Series - Work Sheets setting empty, Work Sheet Numbers will start at 1 and continue consecutively. If you want to start from another number, simply specify it in a new Work Sheet before saving.
