Specifies all of the number series that you will use for your company. You can assign number series to certain tables (such as the Customer, Vendor, and Item tables), sales and purchase documents (such as quotes, shipments, and posted invoices) and journal templates, batches, and lines.

The No. Series window includes fields from the No. Series table and the No. Series Line table.

You must associate each number series with one or more lines in the No. Series Line table, where you set up additional information about the number series.

In the setup table for each application area and in the journal templates, you specify which number series will be used for which purpose. For example, if you have set up a number series for customers, you would enter the code for the number series in the Customer Nos. field in the Sales & Receivables Setup table. Then when you create a new customer, the program will use the information connected to the code to assign the customer number.

Sometimes, you may want to assign more than one number series to a single number series field. For example, if you have more than one number series for inventory items, you can use the No. Series Relationship table to associate all of the related series to one number series code. Then you can enter the code in the Item Nos. field. When you assign a number to a new item, you will be able to choose between all of the related series.
