The system uses Number Range Management (NRM) sequences to generate repository document numbers and other numbers used during processing.

Use EC Number Range Maintenance (35.21.1) to create sequences and define their parameters.

This program is similar to Number Range Maintenance (36.2.21.1). However, EC Number Range Maintenance defines sequences that are specific to the eCommerce processing domain.

After defining number sequences, assign them as system and application-level defaults in eCommerce Control. You can change the defaults for trading partners or trading partner documents using Trading Partner Maintenance (35.13.7). When assigning a new sequence number, the system looks for a sequence definition in the following order:

The system maintains a history of numbers generated that can be displayed using EC Sequence Number History Report. When this history is no longer needed online, remove it using EC Sequence Delete/Archive.

See QAD System Administration User Guide for information on setting up sequence IDs.
