Material Number Formats

Use this field to specify the Format required for this numbering system. The format can be a maximum of 20 characters in length. Use a series of # signs to show WiSeMan where to generate the numbering. We recommend that a year suffix is used to give a visible check on when the Material record was created.

 

At the beginning of the year, change the suffix by incrementing the number.

This is a system-maintained field and should only be set to 0 when the Format is first created, and at the beginning of a new year when the year suffix in the Format above is updated.

Use this field to give a brief description of the specific Format, e.g. Confidential Item. The description will be displayed in the 'Choose a Format' pop-up box when a new Classified Item record is created.
