How to Adjust the Logistics Sequence Numbers

MKG registers a unique number, a sequence number, for various processes. The logistics 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 logistic sequence numbers. During the initial setup of the database, a specific method was chosen, in which in some cases the year number (or only the last two digits) is included in the series. Adjusting this order numbering is necessary to ensure that a fiscal year transition runs smoothly. This action is optional/time-critical.

 

Automate the logistics 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 the logistics processes in the Administration Settings. After opening the module, you will arrive at the 'General' tab. Select the current fiscal year and go to the 'Process Numbering' tab. On this tab you will find the logistics sequence numbers for Sales, Purchase, Production and Financial.

 

 

Step 2: Select the new fiscal yearr

 

Select the newly created fiscal year. If the process numbering has not been automated, the 'Process Numbering' tab will be empty. Do you want to automate this 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.

Step 4: Click 'Save'

 

Click Save

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

 


 

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

 

Checklist Fiscal Year Transition | While executing a fiscal year transition, in today's administrative systems, actions that only occur once a year still have to be performed. These actions cause questions, or worse, are not performed at the most appropriate time. To prevent these questions and to ensure that the fiscal year transition runs as smoothly as possible, this checklist is intended for those who coordinate a fiscal year transition with MKG software.
