About multiple numbering series /visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/about-multiple-numbering-series page Visma Net uses number series to automatically generate IDs for new objects of a certain type when they are created, whether manually by users or automatically by the system. 2026-02-19T17:09:06+01:00 # About multiple numbering series Visma Net uses number series to automatically generate IDs for new objects of a certain type when they are created, whether manually by users or automatically by the system. Numbering sequences are used, for example, for customer invoices, supplier invoices, inventory receipts and issues, Supplier ledger and Customer ledger payments, batches, schedules, and allocations. You can use the predefined number series without changes, or you can modify them to suit your organisation's needs. Also, you can create new sequences. If your organisation has branches, number series for documents associated with branches can be split into subsequences that have different prefixes or specify different ranges of numbers. ## Number series parameters Each number series is defined by parameters set on the [Number series (CS201010)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/common-settings-windows/number-series-cs201010/) window. The system uses the following parameters to calculate the numbers it assigns to new objects: Start number : The number to be used first in this number series. Last number : The number most recently assigned to an object in this number series. Each time the system assigns a number to a new object, it updates this value. Numbering step : The increment used in the number series to generate the next number; for each new number, this increment is added to the rightmost numerical portion of the last number used. End number : The number to be used last in this number series. You can set other parameters on the window, too, such as the following: Start date : The date when this sequence will take effect. For sequences that include subsequences, you can specify the date when each subsequence first becomes effective. New number symbol : An alphanumeric string (of up to 15 characters) used to indicate that a new number for an object will be assigned. Warning number : The minimum number that generates a warning that available numbers will be used up soon. When this number (and each number that exceeds it) is assigned, the system displays a warning. If the end number is near or has been reached for a number series, you should create a new sequence in the appropriate workspace and assign it to this object type. ## Format of IDs Visma Net generates numbers or object IDs for a number series as alphanumeric strings. The precise format of the numbers is defined by the number series parameters, such as the start number and the end number, set on the Number series window. The same number of characters must be used for all parameters in a number series; the system issues a warning if the format of any parameter differs. A number series may have numbers that start with a **prefix**, an alphanumeric string that ends in an alphabetic character. The system automatically detects a prefix in the start number when alphabetic characters are used. If a prefix is used, auto-numbering is applied to only the rightmost numeric positions. The same prefix must be used for the start, warning, and end numbers. Suppose, for example, that you want to create sequences to automatically assign meaningful IDs to sales orders of different types. For different order types, different two-letter abbreviations are used. For general sales orders (the **SO** type), you might set the start number as **S0000001**, the warning number as **S0995000**, and the end number as **S0999999**. For cash sales orders, you might set the start number, warning number, and end number as **CS000001**, **CS997000**, and **CS999999**, respectively. Note that all these numbers use the same prefix followed by six digits. ## Subsequences A number series may consist of any number of sequences or subsequences, each intended for a different branch or starting on a specific date. Subsequences can be helpful when, for example, an organisation uses different invoice numbers in each season of the year. If the organisation has branches, it is convenient when document reference numbers indicate a specific branch of origin by a branch-specific prefix or range of numbers. Each subsequence is defined by a branch, start date, start number, end number, numbering step, and start date. Numbers are assigned as follows: 1. The first new object is assigned the start number depending on the branch and the start date. (The start number is also assigned to the last used number.) 1. The rightmost numerical portion of the second number and subsequent numbers for the same branch is equal to that of the last number plus the numbering step. The last number value is updated. 1. When the start date specified for any subsequence occurs, the system switches to using that subsequence. The numbers available in one subsequence cannot be used in another subsequence of the same sequence. ## Usage tips Follow these tips when you define number series: + Objects get numbers in the order in which they are created. Thus, if you use the same number series to identify objects of different types, successive numbers can be assigned to objects of different types. The disadvantage of this approach is that objects' IDs won't help you distinguish between their types. + If you use similar number series for different document or objects that might be listed on the same window, duplicate numbers may occur, which could confuse users. It is better to define a number series so that the start number of one sequence exceeds the end number of the previous one, or to use different prefixes for each number series. These approaches ensure that duplicate numbers will not occur.

About input validation options /visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/about-input-validation-options page You can create input masks to help users enter data in a specific format for such elements as phone numbers, postcodes, and VAT ID numbers. 2026-02-19T17:09:06+01:00 # About input validation options You can create input masks to help users enter data in a specific format for such elements as phone numbers, postcodes, and VAT ID numbers. You can create input masks to help users enter data in a specific format for such elements as phone numbers, postcodes, and VAT ID numbers. Also, you can use regular expressions to validate that the values the user enters not only comply with the input format but also meet specific requirements. You create input masks by using the following symbols: C : Designates any character A : Designates any letter or digit L : Designates a letter only \# : Designates a digit only ? : Designates an optional letter 9 : Designates an optional digit You can also use the following control symbols (which are not place-holders) to affect the characters that follow them: > : Requires that all letters that follow this symbol are an upper case letter. If a lower case letter is typed, the system will automatically convert it to upper case. Subsequent > symbols will actually toggle the upper case. For example: The mask >LL>LL>LL will cause the upper case to be turned off for the second LL characters, but then turned back on for the third LL characters. < : Requires that all letters that follow this symbol are a lower case letter. If an upper case letter is typed, the system converts it to lower case. Subsequent < characters will actually toggle the lower case functionality. For example: The mask <LL<LL<LL will cause the lower case to be turned off for the second LL characters, but then turned back on the third LL characters. \ : Makes the next character be displayed literally, as it is. "" : Makes characters within the quotation marks be displayed literally. ## Examples of masks and regular expressions The following sections provide examples of masks and regular expressions you might use.
Object Description
United States phone numbers

The input mask (###) ###-#### will force users to enter the three-digit area code in parentheses, with other seven digits separated by a hyphen ( - ) in two groups: one with three digits and the other with four digits.

If certain input values will always have the same characters, just type the characters within the mask, as is done with the parentheses and hyphen in the previous example.

United States postcodes If you want users to enter a five-digit ZIP code followed by a mandatory four-digit extension, use the mask #####-####. If, however, you want to make the four-digit extension optional, use a regular expression, such as /^\d{5}([\-]\d)?$/;
Canadian postcodes

The mask >L#L #L# ensures that the postcode will be entered as two three-character groups separated by a space:

  • The first group contains an upper case letter and a digit, and an upper case letter.
  • The second group contains a digit, an upper case letter, and a digit.

Only the following letters are actually allowed: A, B, C, E, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, R, S, T, V, X, and Y.

The regular expression below ensures that the postcode will comply with this rule too:

/^\s*[a-ceghj-npr-tvxy]\d[a-z](\s)?\d[a-z]\d\s*$/i;

United Kingdom postcodes

The format of U.K. postcodes may be represented by a set of masks:

  • L# #LL
  • L## #LL
  • L## #LL
  • LL# #LL
  • LL## #LL
  • LL#L #LL

Some letters (CIKMOV) are not allowed in these codes.

Because only one mask is allowed, you can create a regular expression such as the following for UK postcodes: [[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9R][0-9A-Z]? [0-9][A-Z-[CIKMOV]]{2};.

## Password masks and regular expressions In some cases, you may need to set a regular expression to enforce the company's password policies. For example: A-regular expression could define valid and invalid characters, specific formats (for example, the password must begin with a letter), or minimum and maximum password lengths. Below are some examples of regular expressions and their explanations: + `^(?=.*\d).$ /-` The password must be four to eight characters long and include at least one numeric digit. + `^[a-zA-Z]\w{3,9}$` The password must be four to ten characters long, the first character must be a letter, and no character is permitted except letters, numbers, and underscores.

About input masks /visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/about-input-masks page Input masks may be created to help users enter data in the required format. 2026-02-19T17:09:06+01:00 # About input masks Input masks may be created to help users enter data in the required format. Input masks may be created to help users enter data in the required format. Masks are used, for example, for phone numbers, postcodes, and VAT registrations. Moreover, regular expressions can be created to validate the entered values, because the values for some elements must meet not only input format requirements but also specific rules. For more details on the format of masks, see: [About input validation options](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/about-input-validation-options/). ## Postcodes Input masks for postcodes are set in the [Countries/counties/postcodes (CS20400S)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/common-settings-windows/countries-counties-postcodes-cs20400s/) window.

In Visma Net, you can define attributes for flexible, meaningful classification of customers and items in your company. An attribute is a property (such as age or industry) that enables you to specify additional information for objects in the system. Attributes are defined in the context of a class, which is a grouping of the business accounts, projects, and stock and non-stock items by one or more of their properties. For each class, you can define a list of attributes to gather class-specific information about members of the class. For example: Attributes may carry the information about product brand, manufacturer, lead age, gender, or industry. You can use attributes in the following Visma Net workspaces: Inventory : In the Inventory workspace, attributes store additional properties of stock and non-stock items. Projects : In the Projects workspace, you use attributes to define additional elements to gather and store information about projects, tasks, and account groups. ## Attributes in classes A class contains a set of attributes that must be available in any instance of the class. For example: Any lead of a given class must contain all the attributes defined for the lead class. For each attribute in a given class, you can specify whether the attribute is required. When creating an instance of the class, you must define the values for all the required attributes. You specify the attributes for a class by selecting the attributes from the attributes available in the system. If you need an attribute that is not available in the system, you can use the [Attributes (CS205000)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/common-settings-windows/attributes-cs205000/) window to create the attribute, as well as any other attributes you may need. Then you will be able to select the new attribute in any class. ## Attribute types For each attribute created by using the [Attributes (CS205000)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/common-settings-windows/attributes-cs205000/) window, you can specify its type: Text : A field into which the user can type text Combo : A field users can use to type or select options Multi select combo : A field where users can select multiple options Check box : A check box users can select or clear Date time : An element for selecting date and time For a **Text** attribute, you can specify an input validation rule based on an input mask or a regular expression. Input validation ensures that the entered data is valid and usable. For details, see: [About input validation options](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/about-input-validation-options/). For a **Combo** and **Multi select combo** attribute, you can create a list of possible values, so that the user can select (respectively) one value or multiple values from the drop-down list. You can also specify the order of the values listed. About ID segmentation /visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/about-id-segmentation page General ledger accounts (and subaccounts, if applicable), as well as other objects in the system, have IDs. 2026-02-19T17:09:06+01:00 # About ID segmentation General ledger accounts (and subaccounts, if applicable), as well as other objects in the system, have IDs. General ledger accounts (and subaccounts, if applicable), as well as other objects in the system, have IDs. An **ID** is a unique alphanumeric string assigned to an object for its identification. IDs are typically **segmented**: composed of segments whose values help users remember the meanings of IDs. For example: General ledger subaccount IDs could contain the following segments: a two-character regional branch code, a one-digit department number, and a three-character product type. Thus, the subaccount ID **CA-1-T32** would denote a subaccount of the California branch (**CA**), department **1**, related to the product **T32**. In Visma Net, a **segmented key** is a system entity that holds the definition of the structure of IDs for a certain type of objects and serves as a template when a user creates an ID for a new object of the type. ## Built-in segmented keys Visma Net provides the following built-in segmented keys, which can be used only for the intended types of accounts or objects: ACCOUNT : Used for General ledger accounts ACCGROUP : Used for account groups for project management BIZACCT : Used for business accounts in the system; serves as the parent key for customer, supplier, and employee account IDs CASHACCOUNT : Used for branch-specific cash accounts based on a GL account. CONTRACT : Used for contract reference numbers; inherits its structure from the **PROJECT** key CONTRACTITEM : Used for contract items CUSTOMER : Used for customer numbers; inherits its structure from the **BIZACCT** key EMPLOYEE : Used for company employees; inherits the structure from the BIZACCT key INVENTORY : Used for stock items INSUBITEM : Used for subitems of stock items INSITE : Used for warehouses INLOCATION : Used for warehouse locations LOCATION : Used for customer and supplier locations MLISTCD : Used for mail lists PROJECT : Used for projects PROTASK : Used for project tasks SALESPER : Used for salesperson accounts SUBACCOUNT : Used for General ledger subaccounts TMCONTRACT : Used for contract templates SUPPLIER : Used for supplier numbers; inherits its structure from the **BIZACCT** key If your organisation requires new types of objects in a specific Visma Net workspace, you can create new segmented keys. ## Segmentation options To configure segmented keys, use the [Segment keys (CS202000)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/common-settings-windows/segment-keys-cs202000/) window. During initial system setup, you must define the following for each segmented key: + How many segments the key has + What is the length of each segment + What is the type of each segment + Whether the segment should be validated on input Consider the following factors as you decide how to configure each key: + You may define as many segments as you want as long as the total length of all segments does not exceed the maximum length. The maximum ID length differs for different segmented keys. The total does not include the user-defined character (such as a hyphen) used to separate the segments when the object IDs are displayed. + An ID may be non-segmented; that is, it may consist of only one segment. + One segment per key can be defined as **auto-numbered**, which means that a number series is assigned to it. + If you add a segment to or remove one from a segmented key after IDs have been created, you have to update the objects associated with this segmented key. Otherwise these actions may have unpredictable results. Once you have configured the segmented key for a type of objects, use the [Segment values (CS203000)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/common-settings-windows/segment-values-cs203000/) window to populate the list of values for segments that will not be auto-numbered. When you add new values for a segment on the [Segment values (CS203000)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/common-settings-windows/segment-values-cs203000/) window, the system automatically converts the value (if such an option was selected) and checks whether the value meets the input mask requirements. ## Inheritance in relation to keys In some windows, users can select objects of different types from the same lookup list. For example: When preparing time cards, employees can specify either a project or a contract on which they spent their work hours. For this, IDs of such objects should have similar structures. To enforce similar structures of IDs for two or more types of objects, inheritance of segmented keys (on which IDs are based) is used. One segmented key (a **child** key) inherits its structure from another segmented key (a **parent** key) means that the child key has the same number of segments as the parent key, and all its segments have the same lengths as the respective segments of the parent key. By default, the child key will have the same structure as the parent key, and the segment values specified for the parent key will be available for IDs based on the child key. However, you can make IDs based on a child key distinguishable at a glance from IDs based on the parent key in the following ways: + For an alphanumeric segment, you can enter different sets of values for the parent and child key segments. + For an auto-numbered segment, you can assign number series with different properties—for example, with different prefixes. In the above example, the **CONTRACT** segmented key inherits its structure from the **PROJECT** segmented key. ## Object creation After the segmented key is configured and its segments are populated, a user can create an object of the type, entering its ID by selecting values for each of its segments. For example, General ledger accounts are created in the [Chart of accounts (GL202500)](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/chart-of-accounts-gl202500/) window, subaccounts are created in the [Subaccounts](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/subaccounts-gl203000/) window, and warehouses are created in the [Warehouses (IN204000)](/visma-net-erp/help/inventory/inventory-windows/warehouses-in204000/) window. When a user creates an account, subaccount, or other object, the user will see the input mask (for example, ––/–/–––, with the slash used as a separator) that shows the number of segments and the length of each. ## Segment validation for creating accounts and subaccounts You can configure input validation options, described below, to reduce some input errors that may occur when IDs are composed of segment values. Although validation can be used for any segmented key, this section describes how validation options work for General ledger accounts and subaccounts. For segments with the **Validate** option selected in the [Segment keys (CS202000)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/common-settings-windows/segment-keys-cs202000/) window, users select from the predefined segment values. With this option selected, when a user creates a new account or subaccount, the user does the following: 1. Sees the input mask with the character specified as a separator for the key (such as ––/–/–––) 1. Double-clicks the segment to open the list of possible values, or points at any segment and presses F3 1. Selects the value for the segment from the list If the **Validate** option is not selected for a segment, users can enter new values while they create accounts or subaccounts. The new values will be validated only in accordance with the segment definition: the type of string and its length. When users enter a string in a segment of the ID, the string will not be added to the list of segment values. If the General ledger account has a one-segment ID, segment validation cannot be turned off and users can create accounts only by selecting them from the list of segment values. ## Validation of accounts and subaccounts on data entry windows Once created, accounts and subaccounts can be used on various documents in the General ledger, Supplier ledger, and Customer ledger workspaces, and can be selected on inquiry and processing windows. Visma Net also provides a validation option for using subaccounts. The **On-the-fly entry** check box (in the [Segment keys (CS202000)](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/common-settings-windows/segment-keys-cs202000/) window) controls how the user specifies subaccounts: + If the check box is not selected, the user can specify subaccounts only by selecting them from the list of available subaccounts. Thus, before subaccounts can be used on data entry windows, they must be created on the [Subaccounts](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/subaccounts-gl203000/) window. + If the check box is selected, subaccounts on data entry windows can be entered segment by segment; the user selects each segment value from the appropriate list of predefined segment values. New segment values cannot be created during data entry. New subaccounts created on the fly are not added to the list of subaccounts. Selecting the **On-the-fly entry** check box is helpful when the number of segments and the number of values in each segment could produce so many combinations that it would be labour-intensive to enter all subaccounts in advance. The **On-the-fly entry** option is also used for subitems defined by the **INSUBITEM** key.

The **Start number**, **End number**, and **Warning number** settings, which are described below: + Are processed by the system as alphanumeric strings. + Have the same length (the maximum is 15) for each series. + Use the same prefix if the series uses a prefix. A prefix is an alphanumeric beginning string that ends in a letter.
Column Description
Branch The specific branch to use the subsequence. This information is optional and is used only if the series consists of subsequences that are intended for branches.
Start number The number to be used first in this number series or subsequence.
End number The number to be used at the end of this series. The end number cannot be less than the start number.
Start date The date when this series will first be used.
Last number The most recent number used for an object in this series.
Warning number The minimum number that triggers a warning that available numbers will be used up soon. When the system generates this number (and each number that exceeds it), it displays this warning. This number cannot be less than the start number.
Numbering step The increment this series uses to generate the next number. Each time a new number is assigned, the system calculates the rightmost numerical portion by adding this value to the rightmost numerical portion of the last number used.
Next allocated number The actual next number that will be picked when assigning a new number.
Last allocated number The last number that was picked when assigning a new number.

This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes. A **segmented key** is a system entity that you use to define the structure of IDs for a certain type of objects. The segmented key then serves as a template when a user creates an ID for a new object of the type. During initial system setup, for each segmented key, you define: + The number of segments the key has + The length of each segment + The type of each segment + The list of values for each segment Users then create object IDs by selecting values for each segment of the segmented key. Also, users can create new segmented keys for use in a specific workspace. ## The top part In this area, you can select a segmented key and view or edit its settings.
Element Description
Segmented key ID

The ID of the segmented key. Select the key from the list of available keys, which can include the following:

ACCGROUP
Used for IDs of account groups in project management
ACCOUNT
Used for general ledger accounts
BIZACCT
Associated with the account used for your company’s branches in the system; the parent key for the SUPPLIER, CUSTOMER, and EMPLOYEE segmented keys
CASHACCOUNT
Used for branch-specific cash accounts based on general ledger accounts
CONTRACT
Used for numbers of contracts; inherits its structure from the PROJECT segmented key
CONTRACTITEM
Used for contract items
CUSTOMER
Used for customer numbers; inherits its structure from the BIZACCT key
EMPLOYEE
Used for numbers of company employees; inherits its structure from the BIZACCT key
INLOCATION
Used for IDs of warehouse locations
INSITE
Used for IDs of warehouses
INVENTORY
Used for stock IDs of stock and non-stock items
LOCATION
Used for IDs of customer and supplier locations
MLISTCD

The list of available segmented keys depends on the functionality is enabled in the Enable/disable functionalities (CS100000) window.

Parent The key that determines the Parent account values displayed for customers (in the Customers window) and for suppliers (in the Suppliers window).
Lookup mode

To help the system narrow the search and improve the speed on search, select the lookup mode that fits your search. The options are:

  • By segment: All avail. segment values
  • By segment key
Allow adding new values on the fly

This option affects only the INLOCATION and SUBACCOUNT keys.

A check box that (if cleared) forces the users to specify objects on data entry windows only by selecting existing object IDs from the list. The list of subaccounts is created in the Subaccounts window. The list of warehouse locations is created in the Warehouses window.

Select the check box to give the users the ability to enter object IDs on data entry windows as combinations of available segment values—there will be no need to create all the allowed IDs on the dedicated windows before they can be used on data entry windows.

Specific workspace The workspace, by its abbreviation, where the user-defined segmented key will be used.
Numbering ID An optional number series that is used for the segment that has the auto-numbering option selected. The segment length should be equal to the number of characters used in the selected number series.
Description A detailed description of the segmented key.
Max length The maximum total length of the key. This field appears after you select a key.
Length The total length of the key. The length is automatically calculated as the sum of the lengths of all segments.
Segments The number of segments defined for the key. The system automatically updates this value once you add a segment.
## The table You can use the table to configure segments for the selected key. Segments can be numeric, alphabetic, or alphanumeric, and they can have different lengths. For each segment (table line), you can create a list of possible values, or for one segment in the key, you can select an auto-numbering option. For auto-numbering, a number series must be specified. For information on configuring segmented keys that inherit their structure from parent keys, see: [About ID segmentation](/visma-net-erp/help/common-settings/about-id-segmentation/). Segment values are used when a user creates IDs for new objects. If the segment validation option (**Validate**) is turned on for the segment, the user must select one of the predefined values for the segment. For a one-segment key, segment validation cannot be turned off. If the validation option is turned off, the system validates only the number of characters ( **Length** ) and the type of the string ( **Edit mask** ) for a segment; hence, IDs of new objects may contain segment values that are not on the list of possible segment values.
Custom action Description
View segment Opens the Segment values window for the selected segment.
Column Description
Segment ID The system-generated number representing the order of the segment in the segmented key.
Description The user-defined segment description.
Override

Read-only.

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the segment value overrides the value inherited from the parent. This column is available only for the segmented keys that have a parent (such as CONTRACT, CUSTOMER, and EMPLOYEE).

Length

The maximum length of the segment.

Make sure that the total length of all segments does not exceed the maximum length, which is specified in the Max length field in the top part.

Align The segment value alignment in the segment; select one of the following options: Left or Right.
Edit mask

The type of characters allowed for the segment values. The following types may be used:

  • Alpha: Allows the input of only Latin letters, such as A and z
  • Numeric: Allows the input of only digits
  • Alphanumeric: Allows the input of Latin letters and digits
  • Unicode: Allows the input of any symbols, including any language symbols and special characters (such as % or _ ).

The underscore symbol( _ ) is one of the SQL wild-card characters. If you search for an entity by its ID that contain this symbol, the system considers underscore as the wild-card character (a substitute for any single character)and returns corresponding results.

Case conversion An option that reflects whether the case of alphabetic characters will remain as it was typed by the user ( No Change ), be automatically converted to upper case ( Upper case ), or be automatically converted to lower case ( Lower case ).
Validate

A check box that indicates (if selected) that validation of segment values is turned on.

It means that you can add a value to each particular segment only by selecting the value from the list of available ones. You open the list of segment values by pointing to the required segment and pressing F3.

This validation works only in windows that can be used to create objects (data entry windows), where objects are selected by their IDs.

Only segment values of the segments requiring validation can be included into a restriction group.

For the consolidation process, we recommend that you select this check box if the length of the subaccount segment in the consolidating company (shown in the Number of characters column) differs from the length of the subaccount segment to be mapped (shown in the Length field).

Auto number

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the number series selected in the Number series ID field will be used to generate values for this segment in IDs.

If the Auto number option is selected on for the segment, select the Unicode option in the Edit mask column.

The auto-numbering option can be applied to only one segment in a key. It is recommended that if you need to use auto-numbering for specific IDs, you configure the appropriate segmented key as a single-segmented key.

If the auto-numbering option is selected for the single segment of the segmented key, the number series assigned to the segment may be defined with Start number and End number that have less characters than the segment length.

Separator

The character that will be used as the segment separator when the object ID is displayed.

This separator doesn’t affect the ID length.

The character specified here must be different from the one specified in Prompt character for the segment.

Prompt character

The character that will used for displaying this segment at input prompts.

You can use different symbols for each segment, but it must be different from the value used as separator for each segment. The default column value is _ (underscore) and the column is hidden by default.

If you want to use the underscore symbol as the segment separator, change the default value of this field to another symbol.

We do not recommend changing a prompt character after you have started entering IDs. If you change the prompt character to a character that has been used in some of the existing IDs, you are not be able to view, edit or find entities whose IDs contain the new prompt character.

Consol. order

The number that represents the order of this string among other strings in the parent company’s subaccount; this column is displayed for only the SUBACCOUNT key.

For more details, see: General ledger consolidation - overview.

This column is available only if the General ledger consolidation functionality is enabled in the Enable/disable functionalities (CS100000) window.

Number of characters

The length (in characters) of the string in the parent’s subaccount to which the segment value is mapped; this column is displayed for only the SUBACCOUNT key.

This setting is used only if the company is a consolidation unit for the parent company.

This column is available only if the General ledger consolidation functionality is enabled in the Enable/disable functionalities (CS100000) window.

If the number of characters is set to 0, then this segment will be skipped during import of the consolidation data.
