No. Series -- Automatic Population

Posted on by 3,482

Hi:

How do you configure the No. Series to automatically place numbers in the respective fields, so that the end user does not have to hit the ellipsis button next to a field to simply pull in the next number?

Thanks!

John

    @Kaspars and @Ben:

    Is this true, even if both "Default" and "Manual" are selected?

    Kaspars has the most direct answer to the question.  In the list of No. Series, check the "Default" Boolean to enable the next number to auto-populate.  Even if you have multiple No. Series available for a record type, the Default will control what series is used when you create a new record.

    For standard pages/cards - No Series has to have the checkmark "Default" - and it has to be provided in the related Setup for No.Series.

    When it has this checkmark, system can populate a number automatically from this when You hit Enter in No Field, or just click in any other number in the new card.

    Hi John.

    In standard if you created multiple no. series for your single page then user have to click on ellipsis 3 dots. To choose specific no. series for that transaction or document. You can double check it from No. series and it's relationships. 


    Hope it will help.

    Many Thanks,
    Manan

    You should just be able to tab or enter in the No. field to get the next number assigned.

    Hi john.ellis 

    I hope you are well mate.

    Here is a video I recorded a while ago on No series setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71DlbLYjLKA&t=4s 

    Generally speaking you should consider searching Manual Setup

    pastedimage1673111888528v1.png

    In here check all the No Series settings for example under Purchase & Payables, or Sales & Receivables and ensure a default No Series is set.

    If the No Series is selected > and the No Series selected is setup properly, you shouldn't have any prompts requiring a user to manually make up numbers. 

    I hope this has answered you questions

    Thanks JC

    Are you referring to any standard table/page in Business Central or custom?

    How many No. Series do you have for that page?
