Accident Claims Numbering Method

There are two methods for numbering accident claims: System (Costpoint generates accident claim numbers) or Manual (you assign accident claim numbers). Depending on the method you select, accident claim numbers can be assigned at the beginning or the end of the accident claim entry process. With the Manual method, you enter an accident claim number (in the Internal Case Number field) on the Manage Accident Information screen. With the System method, Costpoint assigns a number when you save an accident claim record, and the Internal Case Number field on the Accident Information screen is disabled. Regardless of which method you select, Costpoint requires unique accident claim numbers for each fiscal year.

Field	Description
System	Select this option to assign the accident claim numbers on a company-wide basis. This is the default. You specify a starting accident claim number, and then each accident claim entered into Costpoint is increased by one from the last accident claim number.
Manual	Select this option to assign accident claim numbers manually. Costpoint requires an accident claim number at the beginning of the entry process.
