In the following example, expense report numbers are set up for the legal entity that is titled CS.Įxample of formatted number: CS-EXPENSE-0039 In particular, the examples demonstrate the effects of using scope segments.
#Number sequences how to#
The following examples show how to use segments to create number sequence formats. Use a number sign (#) to represent incrementing numbers and an ampersand (&) to represent incrementing letters. An Alphanumeric segment contains a set of letters or numbers that increment every time that a number is used. A Constant segment contains a set of letters, numbers, or symbols that does not change. In addition to segments that correspond to scopes, number sequence formats can contain Constant and Alphanumeric segments. By including a scope segment in the number sequence format, you can identify the scope of a particular record by looking at its number. For example, a number sequence with a scope of Legal entity can contain a legal entity segment.
Number sequences with a scope other than Shared can contain segments that correspond to the scope. Number sequence formats consist of segments. Legal entity and Company scopes can be combined with Fiscal calendar period to create even more specific number sequences. The scope can be Shared, Company, Legal entity, or Operating unit. When you set up a number sequence, you must specify a scope, which defines which organization uses the number sequence. For example, in Accounts receivable and Accounts payable, you can set up number sequence groups to allocate specific number sequences to specific customers or vendors. If module-specific settings are required, you can use the parameters page in a module to specify number sequences for the references in that module. We recommend that you use the pages in Organization administration to set up number sequences. A master data record or transaction record that requires an identifier is referred to as a reference.īefore you can create new records for a reference, you must set up a number sequence and associate it with the reference.
Number sequences are used to generate readable, unique identifiers for master data records and transaction records that require identifiers.
