Requisition Numbering Method

Use this group box to select the numbering scheme for your position requisitions. There are two methods available for numbering requisitions: System (generated by the system) or Manual (assigned by the user). Depending on the method you select, requisition numbers can be assigned at the beginning or the end of the position requisition input process. The Manual method allows you to enter a requisition number when you open the Position Requisition Request screen. With the System method, Costpoint will assign a number when you save a requisition, and the Requisition Number field in the Position Requisition Request screen (People » Personnel » Position Requisitions) will be disabled. Regardless of which method you select, the system requires unique requisition numbers for each fiscal year.

System

Select this option to assign the requisition numbers on a company-wide basis. This is the default. You specify a starting requisition number, and then every requisition number added into the system will be increased by one from the last requisition number.

Manual

 Select this option to assign requisition numbers manually. The system will require a requisition number at the beginning of the input process.

Accident Claims Numbering Method

Use this group box to select the numbering scheme for your accident claims. There are two methods for numbering accident claims: System (the system generates accident claim numbers) or Manual (the user assigns 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) in the Accident Info screen (People » Personnel » OSHA/Workers' Comp). With the System method, Costpoint will assign a number when you save an accident claim record, and the Internal Case Number field in the Accident Info screen will be disabled. Regardless of which method you select, the system requires unique accident claim numbers for each fiscal year.
