Managing numbering schemes

Impact Ordering automatically allocates numbers to objects such as orders, order confirmations, delivery notes and invoices in order to uniquely identify them in the system. You can define numbering schemes to adapt these numbers to your own requirements. Special character codes can be used to define the format of a numbering scheme (see Formats for numbering schemes).

You can create numbering schemes for:

• Not specified. If the object to which a numbering scheme applies is not specified, it can be assigned to any of the following objects:
• Orders
• Order confirmations
• Delivery advice notes
• Delivery notes
• Complaints
• Returns
• Invoices
• Invoice complaints
• Samples
• Archive numbers
• User logins

Numbering schemes are allocated in basic contracts. If all of a company’s orders are given a consecutive number, this numbering scheme must be used in each basic contract for all suppliers.

Priorities

Priorities can be assigned to numbering schemes. Priorities enable you to create several numbering schemes for the same object and determine the order in which the numbering schemes are used. The numbering scheme with the highest priority is used first. Numbering schemes with lower priorities are successors. When the numbering scheme with the highest priority has expired, the successor with the highest priority is used.
