Set Up Site Level AutonumberingSet Up Site Level AutonumberingYou use the Site Level dialog box to specify autonumber seeds and prefixes for site level applications when you do not want to use an organization level sequence. See Set Up Organization Level Autonumbering for more information on the relationship between organization and site level autonumbering.
With site level applications you can set up each site to use its own autonumber sequence on record IDs. For example, each site can have an autonumbered PM records sequence beginning at 1000.
Preventive Maintenance is a site level application and PM IDs are unique at the site level, However, you have the option of implementing an organization level sequence. You can choose to have the autonumbering work in the following three ways:
All sites are part of the same sequence. You set the autonumbering for PMs in the Organization Level dialog box and the autonumbering works the same as with an organization level application. If PM 1000 is inserted at Site 1, and the next PM is inserted at Site 2, the PM number at Site 2 will be 1001.
You have three sites and you want one to have independent PM autonumbering. You want sites 1 and 2 to be on the same autonumber sequence, but you want Site 3 to be independent. You set PM autonumbering to 1000 in the Organization Level dialog box. You then use the Site Level dialog box to specify an independent autonumber sequence for Site 3.
You want all sites to have independent PM autonumbering. You use the Site Level dialog to specify autonumbering for all sites, or you use the Site Level dialog to specify autonumbering for all sites except one, and let the exception be defined by whatever you specify in the Organization Level dialog box.
In the Organizations (SP) application, select the organization containing the site for which you want to set up autonumbering.
From the Select Action menu, select Autonumber Setup, then select Site Level. The Site Level dialog box opens.
In the Sites table window, select the site.
In the Autonumber
for Site table window, click New Row.
The Row Details open. (To edit an existing autonumber, click View
Details 
).
In the Autonumber Name field, click Select Value 
and select the name of
the autonumber.
In the Seed field, enter a value. The default seed value is 1000.
If you want the autonumber to be preceded by a standard value, for example, PR (for purchase requisition), enter the value in the Prefix field.
Click Close Details
.
Enter seeds for other applications as needed.
Click OK.
Note: Even though you specify the numbering scheme for autonumbering in the Organizations (SP) application, it is not automatically implemented in the entity you are autonumbering. To do that you use the Database Configuration application. For the attribute (field) you are autonumbering, you must define the Default Value field to be &AUTOKEY& and reconfigure the database. For more information, refer to Database Configuration help.
