Hello All,

We're expanding the max number for certain Number Sequences in our Dynamics AX 2012 R2 environment. We have several sequences that need to be updated but we first need to find out who the sequences are being used by. Does any one know how I can look up who/where the sequences is being used?

It depends... For example, if you have a method returning the number sequence code and all callers get the sequence through this method, you can use cross-references to find the callers.

it would agree to Martin, to much extent.

But sometimes, there is also possibility of getting number sequence without calling a method

e.g. code may be written directly as under anywhere

NumberSeq::newGetNum( NumberSeqReference::findReference(extendedTypeNum(NameOfEDT)));

the developer may not use fix method such as numRefCustAccount() under parm tables

in case developer use code directly anywhere in class without calling method from parm tables; using corss reference on method will neglect such cases

using cross reference on EDT can bring all those locations, ,too, where number seqnce is being called directly by EDT.

example goes here

What's happening is that we have a few sequences that are about to run out of numbers to hand out. I need to find out who is using the sequences so I can contact the users and have them test the propose increase to the number sequences. For example if we increase the number of digits in a sequence those added values get printer on documented as 0's; place holders. I need to make sure that i don't add too many values where the the field on the report would run out of space.

Hello All,

So I found out how to find under which module the sequence is used. I went to each General ledger, production control, ect... and under set up looked up parameters then sequence numbers.

Now that I have which module the sequence is being used. Any ideas on how i can identify the document or area where the sequence is being used?
