Creating document numbers by transaction typeDocument numbers must be unique within a transaction type. You can assign a document number to a transaction in several ways. In the Transaction Types (tfgld0511m000) session you can determine the document number by using:
Selection of the Block Backdating check box in the Transaction Types (tfgld0511m000) session also affects the document numbering. For details, refer to Block backdating of transactions. Number of digits for series A document serial number is a combination of a series number and a sequence number. The document number consists of 8 positions. The maximum number of positions that can be reserved for a series is 4. If no series are used, that is, if the Number of Digits for Series field has the value 0, all 8 positions are used for the document sequence number. If the 1 through 4 positions are reserved for the series number, then the remaining positions are available for the rest of the document number.
LN does not allow leading zeroes for series. If the number of digits for the series is two, the series must be at least 10. Values such as 02 and 04 are not allowed. Options for creating document numbers Three options exist to create a document number within a transaction type:
Note The following situation is not allowed:
A transaction type that uses a document series must have consecutive numbering. Therefore, if the Documents in Fixed Sequence check box is cleared, you cannot enter a value in the Number of Digits for Series field.
