Configure number ranges

The consecutive numbers for forms, invoices and credit memos are specified from the number ranges. All settings are available here as standard. Here you can determine the document number with which your number range is to begin.

From the System Settings programme group, select the Number Ranges programme:

When changing the number ranges, the system checks whether the entered or a higher document number already exists. If necessary, a message is displayed and the data is not saved.

Element / Switch	Function / Description
Set number ranges	The number ranges for central number assignment are set up in the upper area. In addition to invoices, pro forma and credit memos, you can set up number ranges for DinA4 forms and use freely usable number ranges. Freely usable number ranges can be used, for example, for delivery notes and other functions. These must then be switched on in the desired forms. See Further documentation: Invoice voucher / no..
Number ranges for emergency operation	If one or more wards are operating in emergency mode, no consecutive numbers can be assigned centrally. In this case the numbers from the lower range are used. Each station thus has its own number range in emergency operation. If the data is later merged again, a central and sequential numbering can take place again. This is executed automatically. In order to establish a link between the emergency numbers and the sequential central numbers, both are merged and maintained in the data. You can also find the documents using the numbers in emergency mode.
