    RE: Number series - options in AX 2012

    Hi Lally,

    There is a whitepaper available where the next explanation is stated:

    - The Company scope is used for all references for which the underlying table is a “per company” table that uses the DataAreaId field and whose SaveDataPerCompany property is set to “Yes”. For example, this scope is used for the number sequence for the customer account number in the Customer table (CustTable).

    - The Legal entity scope should be used for references for which the underlying table is not a “per company” table and which holds a foreign key (FK) to the CompanyInfo (also known as “legal entity”) table. The number sequence for the expense report number in the Expense Report (TrvExpTable) table uses this scope.

    It ultimately does not matter as you have one legal entity, there is a question of whether you will have more in the future of course. Select legal entity in the knowledge you can (if R2) partition future elements, and separating it rather than sharing it to future businesses makes more sense if you are unsure.
