Setting Up NRM Sequence Numbers
All pending invoices must have an internal reference number. Before you can accrue outbound logistics charges, you must set up separate Number Range Management (NRM) sequence codes used as identifiers for discrete sales order and distribution order shipments. See
QAD System Administration User Guide for details on Number Range Management.
The system uses the sequence codes to determine what format to use when assigning sequential internal reference numbers to discrete shipments in the following programs:
• Sales Order Shipments (7.9.15)
• RMA Maintenance (11.7.1.1)
• RMA Receipts (11.7.1.13)
• RMA Shipments (11.7.1.16)
• Distribution Order Processing (12.17.21)
• Distribution Order Shipments (12.17.22)
Note: This step is not required for other types of shipments. For sales order shippers, the shipper number is used as the internal reference. Shipper sequence codes are defined in Container/Shipper Control (7.9.24). When distribution orders use shipper documents, the shipper number is also used. Inbound logistics charge accruals use receiver or PO shipper numbers as internal references.
Use Number Range Maintenance (36.2.21.1) to create sequence parameters for sales order shipments and distribution order shipments. RMAs use sales order sequences. See
QAD System Administration User Guide for more information on number ranges.

Target Dataset
Enter the dataset identifier associated with this sequence:
• Enter la_so_ship_id for sales order shipments.
• Enter la_do_ship_id for distribution order shipments.
Internal
Enter Yes to have NRM generate sequence numbers automatically. Enter No to let users supply numbers that are validated against the NRM sequence.
