Location sequence number

Records or documents generated in Sage Distribution and Manufacturing Operations can be assigned a sequence number. A sequence number is a progression, or an ordered list of numbers governed by a pattern or rule.

This page defines the structure for the sequence numbers used when you create locations, in particular when you use the Location mass creation page.

Sequence numbers for others records or documents are managed in a different page. See Sequence number.
