Use this screen to establish control parameters and default information.
You should set up this screen when initializing Costpoint Routings. Maintain this screen whenever changes are made to the control parameters. Before initializing this screen, establish units of measure codes in Costpoint Product Definition.
Select this checkbox to have the system assign IDs to new pieces of equipment, or leave this checkbox unchecked if you want to create unique equipment IDs for new equipment. If you select this checkbox, you still have the option of entering your own unique equipment ID instead of accepting a system-assigned equipment ID.
If you selected the Auto Number Equipment IDs checkbox, enter the starting point for auto-assigning new equipment IDs. You can enter up to 12 alphanumeric characters. The system will start with the number of the last equipment ID and add one.
To have equipment ID numbers assigned sequentially, you must select a ceiling number that does not exceed 10 digits. For example, if the highest number desired is 9999999999, enter zero as 0000000000; or if the highest number desired is EQUIP-9999, and the last equipment ID number used was EQUIP-124, that number should be entered as EQUIP-0124. The Last ID Used field is always incremented from the right and only if the rightmost character is numeric (rather than alpha). For example: EQIP594123 becomes EQIP594124; EQUIPABCD9 becomes EQUIPABCD0; 9999999999 becomes 0000000000; EQ9999999A is not incremented. You should assign enough numeric characters to the right to ensure that duplicates do not occur.
