Migrating Existing Numbering Rules to Advanced Numbering Rules
When you enable Advanced Numbering for a transaction type, NetSuite migrates your existing numbering settings for that transaction type into an advanced numbering standard rule for the transaction type. When NetSuite migrates your numbering settings:
-
The prefix, suffix, minimum digits, and initial number in the existing settings are moved to the same fields of the standard rule.
-
The subsidiary or location are added to the prefix field of the standard rule.
-
The advanced numbering rule will use the existing document or transaction number prefixes for your subsidiaries or locations. For more information, see Creating Subsidiary Records and Creating Locations.
