Generation of Job IDs

Thomas Wieberneit

Hi community,

we are currently trying to streamline and consolidate our processes on Reckon Accounts Online and as part of this we are looking into the generation of Job IDs. These seem to be generated by Reckon Accounts like 'job-n' in a customer specific count. What we would like to have is a global unique counter (that also starts beyond the current given number). Having this would help us a lot in not upsetting employees and suppliers. Does anyone know of a solution for this?

Thanks and regards

Thomas

Hi community,

of course I did some more research on my own but till now to no avail. I am still hoping for someone being smarter than I.

Best regards

Hi Thomas,

Welcome to the Reckon community.

Would your JobID be equivalent to a Purchase Order Number or Sales Order Number?

Hi John, thanks for coming back to me. Yes, it is a sales order number. It shall be human readable and be easy and unique. Currently (on the system that we want to replace) it is a counter. This is what we'd like to retain.

Hi John, do you have a hint for me?

Hi Thomas,

Yes, you can set a number beyond the current one.  You can also include letters, so you could start at SO1234.  The next Sales Order you do will be the next number - SO1235, etc.  When its converted to an Invoice it will go to the next number in the Invoice sequence.  You can overwrite that Invoice number with another if you wish, but that number will become the base for the invoice sequence.  

regards,
John
