  • Dung Lan: For Organizations, if you have the sequence created, when you create a new organization you currently have to enter the code. Now, you can set it up so this code will be automatically created? Martina: Yes - you define your sequences in service interaction prior/once and select one sequence via the modal in create organizations and generate the next number from this sequence via the button “generate vendor code”

  • For service interaction, this is in the Q release. In Organizations and receiving, it’s in the R release.
