Numbers that say where and when
Each subsidiary keeps its own sequences. Shape every template from the subsidiary code, the year or fiscal year, the month and the user’s initials, and see sample numbers before you save.

How a sequence is shaped
Pick the document
Each document type has its own sequence in each subsidiary.
Write the template
Mix fixed text with tokens for the subsidiary code, year, fiscal year, quarter, month, day and the user’s initials, plus the counter.
Preview
See sample numbers from the next counter before saving. Nothing is used up.
Save
Every number issued from then on follows the new template.
Details that matter
Mistakes caught on save
A template with an unknown token, an unclosed brace or no counter is refused, with the position of the problem.
Fiscal year, not just calendar
The fiscal-year token follows the subsidiary’s own fiscal year start.
A ceiling if you want one
Set a highest number, and a sequence that reaches it stops issuing rather than overrunning.
Questions buyers ask
Do two subsidiaries share a sequence?
No. Each subsidiary has its own, so invoice numbers never collide between companies.
Does the preview use up numbers?
No. It shows sample numbers and allocates nothing.
Are changes to a sequence recorded?
Yes. Edits and resets of a sequence go into the audit log with who made them and when.
