Selecting the Sequences by Segment
In the Sequences by Segment subtab, select any combination of the following segments to use in advanced numbering rules:
-
Fiscal Year
-
Subsidiary
-
Location
Advanced Numbering creates a unique sequence for each combination of segments you select. For example:
-
If you select fiscal year, NetSuite will generate a unique numbering sequence for every fiscal year (1 sequence for each fiscal year).
-
If you select fiscal year and subsidiary, NetSuite will automatically generate a unique sequence for each subsidiary every fiscal year.
The following expressions in the number format generate additional numbering sequences by segment value:
-
${YYYY_START} or ${YY_START}
-
${YYYY_END} or ${YY_END}
-
${location}
-
${subsidiary}
Expressions tied to calendar year, including ${YYYY} or ${MM}, are not connected to the fiscal year segment.
