Set Retail Store Number Sequence To Manual

Before you start I would make one small suggestion for your system. And that is to change the numbering sequence on the Store and Register ID’s to be manual. This is an entirely optional step, but having a store code and also a register code that is easy to read directly from the screen will make the process a little easier.

How to do it…

To set the Retail Store number sequence to manual, follow these steps:

1. To do this, open up the Retail Shared Parameters menu from the Parameters folder of the Setup group on the Retail area page.
2. Select the Number sequences group in the parameters.
   
3. Right-mouse click on the Number sequence code field for the Store number to open up the context menu, and select the View Details option to access the number sequence details.
4. When the number sequence definition is displayed, click on the Edit button in the Maintain group of the Number Sequence ribbon bar to enter into edit mode.
5. In the General group, click on the Manual check box to enable manual numbering. Then click close to save the number sequence.
   
6. Now repeat the process for the Register number. Right-mouse click on the Number sequence code field for the Register number to open up the context menu, and select the View Details option to access the number sequence details.
7. When the number sequence definition is displayed, click on the Edit button in the Maintain group of the Number Sequence ribbon bar to enter into edit mode. In the General group, click on the Manual check box to enable manual numbering. Then click close to save the number sequence.
