Auto Zero-fill Order Numbers

Applies to

TMT Fleet Maintenance

Description

Controls whether the program enters zeros to complete order numbers for users

Options

  • NO
    Users must enter complete order numbers manually.

  • YES (default)
    Users can enter a partial order number. The program completes then it.

Additional notes

When this option is set to YES, you can type a partial number in an order number field, tab out, and the program enters zeros to the left of the number until it is 12 characters long. For example, if you typed 17 into an order field with auto zero-fill, when you exit the field, it displays 000000000017.

This also works if order types have established prefixes established on Masters > Shops > Orders tab. For example, if the prefix for the order is 01, and you type 01-1, the program changes the number to 01-000000001.
