Keys

SYSPRO Ribbon bar > Setup > Setup Options > Keys

Alpha keys result in the left-alignment of all data, with trailing blanks. Numeric keys result in the right-alignment of all data, with preceding zeros. Only the digits 0 to 9 are allowed.

If you need to change a key type:

  • Ensure that all entries/transactions are complete (including journals, distribution reports, postings, month ends, etc).

  • Before making the change, copy the current/live company to a new company (i.e. a History/Backup company) and then change the key type for the old/live company. This will enable you to still review the history against the old key types (in the History/Backup company) while using the new key type for transactions in the live company.

Similarly, changing the case of a key field could result in loss of access to data (e.g. if you previously defined a stock code using lowercase characters and then change to uppercase, you will not be able to access the lowercase stock code key).

This uses as the invoice number either the next available auto voucher number, or the supplier's delivery note number, or the Goods received note number, or the purchase order number. If the delivery note, GRN or purchase order is defined with a presentation length that is more than 15 characters, then that numbering method is disabled.

This is the next number that will be used if automatic numbering is defined.

This generates invoice, credit and debit note numbers at company level and the branch associated with the transaction has no bearing on the document number.

This generates invoice, credit and debit note numbers from the AR branch associated with the transaction. If the AR Invoice number key type is set to alphanumeric, then you can assign a single character as a prefix to the document numbers generated by each branch. This enables you to identify the branch that generated the document.

When numbering by branch, we strongly recommend using the branch prefix to ensure that the discount note numbering remains unique.

This is the next invoice number that will be used if automatic numbering is defined. Numbers are allocated up front and incremented during processing.

Cancelling or rolling back a transaction does not de-allocate this number and will result in gaps in the numbering sequence as the allocated number is not re-used.

This allocates the order number as the invoice number for the first invoice generated for the order. Subsequent invoices for the order assigns the next invoice number based on the invoice numbering method defined. You can't select this if the Auto invoice numbering - order release option is set to Use delivery note. Don't select this if you intend to part-ship goods (where more than one invoice will be produced for one sales order) as this may result in missing invoice numbers.

Otherwise the numbering method of the branch assigned to the target warehouse determines the next order number assigned to a supply chain transfer order.

This assigns an invoice number automatically when you release an order. The number allocated to the first invoice generated for the order is the order number providing you enabled the Sales order moved to invoice setup option.

This generates a new GRN number for each stock item receipted using the Purchase Order Receipts program. If any item on the purchase order requires inspection or is traceable, then a new GRN number is assigned to each line, regardless of whether this option has been enabled.

This produces a GRN number per line when using the Receipt All function in the Purchase Order Receipts program. Otherwise the Receipt All function generates a single GRN number for all lines. If any item on the purchase order requires inspection or is traceable, then a new GRN number is assigned to each line, regardless of whether this option has been enabled.

Select this to assign a GRN number to each new shipment received into stock using the Landed Cost Tracking system.

This lets you track the last serial number range created for a specific stock code (you define the prefix and next suffix against each individual stock item).

This is the character(s) that must form the start of the serial number when you add a range of manual serial numbers within this company.

This number is appended to the prefix and together they form the serial number. The system automatically increments the next suffix for each new serial number created in the range, providing the number was created using the prefix. The number of numeric characters entered for the suffix must cater for the total quantity of serial numbers you want to add using the defined prefix.
