Migration of number sequence codes

(0) ShareShare

Hello,

I would like to ask what is the easiest way to migrate number sequence codes in D365 FO with 3 segments (Company, Constant, Alphanumeric)? (1st question)

I am straggling with specific field "ANNOTATEDFORMAT". When you export data entity "number sequence code" into excel, the mentioned cell contains Tabulators and Enters (new lines) as it is visible when copy-pasted to Word.

I know combination alt-enter for new line in a cell, however I am not aware of key combination for Tab, as just simple Tab sends you to next cell. Does anybody know? (2nd question)

I know that if I would use only only field FORMAT in data entity "Number sequence code" without ANNOTATEDFORMAT, even though it would look the same as if I would use ANNOTATEDFORMAT (Company-> Constant-> Alphanumeric) and import it. The Company and Constant would merge together forming only Constant, so the ANNOTATEDFORMAT would be only Constant-> Alphanumeric, which is not desired result.

I have found a way by using Excel function CHAR() and ASCII table, where character 9 stands for Tab and 13 for Enter. By series of these functions you can achieve those Tabs and Enters in one excel cell. And after import I would get the desired result, where ANNOTATEDFORMAT would be Company-> Constant-> Alphanumeric . However I am still wondering, if there is a better way/format how I could import number sequence codes into D365 FO. I don't know, if I am missing something, whether different format can be used, of there is a completely different and better way for import of number sequences. Does anybody have experience with it? (3rd question)
