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, your user's must enter a unique identifying number each time they create and save a new record. 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.
Although Estimates does not have an In Use check box, it does include a Prefix field, you can include the starting number as well.

The records without a check box are numbered sequentially by WebTMA. 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 On-Hand Adjustment number is shown in the Current Value column.

NOTE: The Prefix is limited to ten (10) characters. The Current Value field is also limited to ten (10) characters.

2. Mark the check boxes for any of the items you want automatically numbered.
3. Enter the custom Prefix where available.
4. Enter the starting number for desired items.
5. Select Save on the WebTMA toolbar.
