 Prenumbered Forms

 

In Turkey, companies use prenumbered forms if they do not have authorization to generate their own official document numbers.

Prenumbered forms are used for a number of business documents, such as delivery documents and billing documents. You handle the forms using standard functions (see Prenumbered Forms). Information specific to Turkey is listed below.

Features

The company buys a lot, which includes prenumbered forms with a given number range. Once this number range is over, the company buys a new lot. In Turkey, different lots can be used for each document class, that is, different official document number ranges have to be assigned to delivery documents and billing documents.

In case of prenumbered forms, the system generates the official document numbers at the time of printing the documents and assigns these numbers consecutively. The official document number is an eight-digit running number. If you maintain the official lot number, the system assigns it as the prefix to the eight-digit number. If the document runs into multiple pages, the system prints them on separate pages. The official document number in this case would contain the first and the last numbers of the form. For example, if you assign the official lot number as TR01 and the document is of three pages (assigned numbers 00000001, 00000002, 00000003), then the official document number will be TR01-00000001-03. In the absence of the official lot number, the official document number will be 00000001-03. The Reference field of the document header can consist of a maximum of 16 characters.

If you cancel a document that has already been printed on a prenumbered form, the system overwrites the old official document number with the new one and marks the old one as void (since all documents need to be accounted for).

Activities

After printing the documents on the prenumbered forms, check the Reference field of the document header for correct official document number assignment.
