Posted on by

Hi all,

How to use number sequence code that we already created in Organization Administration > Number Sequence ?

Problem is I create a new Number Sequence by code, and I set it to be appeared in AR Parameters. It did already appeared, but when I want to select the Number Sequence code, my code that I created from Organization Admin not listed there.

Thanks,

    Hi WWwong,

    How do you configure the number sequence? Did you add the reference correctly? It will be better to share a screenshot.

    Hi WWwong,

    Try change the Scope 'Legal entity ' to 'Company'.

    Hi WWwong,

    It is a kind of technical explanation.

    The 'Company' option is used for all tables which are not global. So e.g. customers, vendors, sales orders.

    There are also tables set to not store data per legal entity. These are global tables and needs initially the 'Shared' option. Some of these global tables to have another field to be able to separate between legal entities. In that case the 'Legal entity' can be used.

    The majority of number sequences will be setup with 'Company' or 'Shared'.
