What is the Number Ranges for Vendor Account?
Number ranges can be defined in such a way that the system
automatically generates the number when a document is created. This is known as
“internal number assignment. In this, the system stores the "last
number" used for a document in the “Current Issue” and the next number
will open when another document is created. If you use “external dialing”, the
user must enter a number each time a document is created in the system. As the
user supplies each time the number, the subsequent numbering may not be sequential.
Unlike an internal numbering, the system stores the "last number 'in the
current program.
The numbers of a series of numbers can be either digital or
alphanumeric. If the numbers are numeric, the system prefixes the number of
zeros required to standardize the length of the 10-digit number. If you use the
alphanumeric dialing, the number is padded with zeros to the right. If you
follow the numbers year specific, “it is best not to mix numeric and
alphanumeric numbering for a particular type of document in several years.
