Counters Tab - WebTMA 7

Some lines displayed on the Tab include a check box in the In Use column. The check box indicates that automatically numbering these lines is optional. Lines that do not include a check box are automatically numbered by WebTMA in sequence; however, you have the option to set the starting number.

If you do not mark the In Use check boxes, WebTMA requires that users enter a unique identifying number each time a new record is created and saved. When you check the Purchase Order and Purchase Requisition check boxes, you can also establish a Prefix as well as the starting number (Current Value) for the counter.

The records without a check box are numbered sequentially by WebTMA; however, you can include the starting number on the Counters Tab and a Prefix for Estimates. The window labels on these number fields change depending on the record. For example, the number on the Fuel & Oil window is labeled Ticket #, and the number on the Estimate window is labeled Estimate #.

The Last OH Adjustment number is shown in the Current Value column.

2. Click the check boxes for any of the items you want automatically numbered.
