Hi,

It was observed in IFS that there is no specific methodology used in standard to define the different numbering sequence for any Purchase Transactions (like PR, RFQ, PO etc.).

Is there any way of defining any specific numbering sequence for all the relevant purchase transactions, as per desired format.? As it was also observed that someway it can be handled via Coordinator Groups as well, to some extent, as long as Purchase and Distribution Orders are considered. For which the character string is also limited for 1, which is not desired though.

By any chance we can address this issue in standard IFS (with Aurena Client).?

Any valuable feedback or remarks on this would be really appreciated.

 

Regards,

You have found the right area with the coordinator group to control the sequence. That is the only control.  I don’t know this would be any different with a different client as it is a database setting.  If you want to embed intelligence into the numbering sequence, you would need to create a custom table to hold the information for the numbering and then a custom event to load in the value for the purchase order number prior to saving the record.  

@tecprabun we got a similar request recently and thought of having next value for Purchase Agreements and POs here under the Enterprise Identities Series through a couple of custom rows. Then again facing the challenge due to the inability to have prefixes. We are using IEE only.
