Process numbers: administration settings

Process numbers

• Preliminary number. The standard structure of the preliminary number is as follows: xx(number of the process) xx(fiscal year). At 'Sales' enter 'Order' for example "3023" to start the next sales order that is created with number 30230001. This number can of course be adjusted to your own preference, provided that the options below are taken into account.
• Sequence number. The default sequence number structure is as follows: xxxx(4 sequence numbers). You do not need to fill in this field. The next sales order that is created will then start with number 0001. Fill in this field if you want a different numbering.
• Length. The total number of positions of the number. The number entered in this field must correspond to the added number of positions of the Preliminary number and Sequence number fields. If this is not the case, the process numbering may be wrong.
• Fiscal year dependent. If you let the process numbering depend on the fiscal year, MKG will automatically keep track of the numbering of the processes, even if the relevant administration switches between fiscal years.

MKG standard

Automate process numbering?

Because the process numbering was set up in MKG in such a way, you had to manually enter the process numbering every year to get the correct numbering visible in the new fiscal year. From version 005.064 you have the option to automate this annual adjustment, so that you no longer have to perform this action every year. Read the article How to automate MKG process numbering.
