How to adjust the logistical sequence numbers

MKG registers a unique number, a sequence number, for various processes. The logistical sequence numbers, also referred as order numbers, include not only the order sequence, but also the quote sequence and the calculation sequence. In this article, you will learn how to manually adjust the logistical sequence numbers.

 


 

After you have created a new fiscal year in MKG, you can adjust the logistical sequence numbers. During the initial setup of the database, a certain methodology was chosen, where in some cases the year number (or only the last two digits) is included in the sequence. Adjusting this order numbering is necessary to ensure a smooth transition between fiscal years. This action is optional/time-critical.

 

 

Automate the logistical sequence numbering
For various processes, MKG has sequence numbers that may or may not be dependent on the fiscal year. You can automate the logistical sequence numbering, so you don't have to enter it manually each year. Execute this action before you create the new fiscal year. In this article, you will learn how to automate the logistical sequence numbering.

 

 

Step 1: Go to the Administration Settings

 

You manage the numbering of logistical processes in the Administration Settings. After opening the module, you land on the 'General' tab. Select the current fiscal year and go to the 'Process Numbering' tab. On this tab, you will find the logistical sequence numbers for Sales, Purchase, Production, and Other.

 

Step 2: Select the new fiscal year

 

Select the newly created fiscal year. If the process numbering is not automated, the 'Process Numbering' tab will be empty. Do you want to automate the process numbering? In this article you can read how to do that.

 

 

Step 3: Enter the new numbering

 

Now enter the sequence numbers for the new fiscal year. If you want to continue adjusting the numbering manually each year, you can use the Sequence no. column. Enter the maximum number of allowed characters in the Length column. Check the 'Fiscal Year-dependent' boxes if the processes are dependent on the fiscal year.

Notification Code and Process Notification Code

Notifications that are created manually are numbered based on the Notification Code field . With the Process Notification Code field, you set up a separate numbering for the notifications that are automatically created in User Process Notifications. If this field is empty, the numbering is based on the Notification Code field.

 

 

Step 4: Click 'Save'

 

Click Save

. The logistical sequence numbers are now set for the new fiscal year.

 


 

Please note!
You open fiscal years per administration. If you use more than one administration, you need to perform this action for each administration.

 

Fiscal Year Transition Checklist
During the execution of a fiscal year transition, modern administrative systems still require actions that only occur once a year. These actions raise questions, or worse, are not executed at the most suitable moment. To prevent these issues and ensure the fiscal year transition goes as smoothly as possible, the Fiscal Year Transition Checklist, is intended for those coordinating a fiscal year transition with MKG software.
