Adjusting the logistic sequence numbers

MKG registers a unique number, a sequence number, for various processes. The logistics sequence numbers, also known as order numbers, include the quotation series and the calculation series in addition to the order series. In this manual you can read how to adjust the logistic sequence numbers.

 


After you have created a new fiscal year in MKG, you can adjust the logistic sequence numbers. Adjusting this order numbering is necessary to ensure that a fiscal year transition runs smoothly. This action is optional/moment critical.


 

During the initial setup of the database, a specific numbering method was chosen. In some cases, the year number (only the last two digits) is included in the series. With serial numbering in MKG we talk about two types of number systems: financial sequence numbers (also known as voucher numbers) and logistic sequence numbers (also called order numbers).

 

The logistic sequence numbers are defined in the Administration settings. From version 004.026, process numbering can be set depending on the fiscal year. Then pay attention to the correct sequence of actions. If you first create the fiscal year and set the fiscal year dependency for the first time in the new fiscal year, the voucher numbers will be emptied in the older fiscal years.

If you want to use this, the procedure is as follows:

  1. In the current fiscal year, check the property 'Fiscal year dep.' in the administration settings.
  2. Create a new fiscal year.
  3. Enter the new process numbering in the administration settings in the new fiscal year. These are completely empty after creating the new fiscal year. Note that process number, search name and length match. See the screen below as an example:


Administratie instellingen > Procesnummering > 2025


Are you still working with a lower MKG version? The numbering settings can be found in the administration settings under 'System' in the menu. For each process (sales quotation, sales order, calculation, production order, purchase quotation and the purchase order) a section is divided in this part for the numbering.
