System Numbers Single Dialogs Workspace

Use this workspace to maintain each company's system-assigned transaction numbers.

Maconomy assigns these numbers, in consecutive order, to transactions such as invoices, journals, and sales orders. For example, when you create a sales order, Maconomy assigns to it the next number in the Sales Order number series.

Maconomy determines the number series that you can use and the name of each series. A number in a number series must consist of a prefix, a "next number," which Maconomy automatically updates, and a "suffix."

You specify the starting number in each series, and Maconomy updates the current number each time that a number is used. Before assigning a transaction number, Maconomy checks that the number is not already in use by another company.

Maconomy's number series are fixed, and you cannot change their names.

The maximum length of a system number is nine characters. A transaction number cannot be 0. You specify the number of characters in a transaction number in the System Parameters workspace.

This workspace only displays companies to which you have been assigned separate system numbers, that is, you selected the Separate System Numbers field in the Company Information workspace. When you create a company with separate system numbers, Maconomy transfers the current system numbers from the standard company to the system numbers of the new company. If you have not specified a standard company in the System Information workspace, Maconomy sets all of the system numbers to zero.
