Title: Order Numbering System
Products: Paramo Pro, WRC
Last Updated: 1 July 2010

All product versions use an easy to track, back to back, order numbering system where  production orders and purchase orders are related to the original sales order reference.

Sales Order Reference:

The Sales Order Reference is a customer facing number. When a sales order is saved, a Sales Order Reference will be displayed, with the following format:

Prefix  + SalesOrderNumber

Schematic Representation of the Numbering System

A Sales Order may have one or more orderlines, which represent each item in the order. This representation shows the relationship between the Sales Order Reference, WorkOrderID and JobNos.

Sales Order Reference WorkOrderID JobNo
9-101 9-101W1 9-101W1
9-101W2 9-101W2
9-101W3 9-101W3
“” “”
“” “”

If the JobNo has child items (i.e. it is an assembly), additional JobNos are created, with the suffix C1, C2 and so on. 

Shipping Reference

The shipping reference is created when a shipping consignment is saved, and must always be unique.  It uses the following format:

Prefix  + Shipping Reference No 

  1. The numbering system comes with some default values already specified.
  2. Default prefix  With 2010 as the baseline, the default prefix will be S9-
  3. Default number start: 100  (i.e the first sales order will be S9-101)

The defaults can be updated using a similar approach to updating the sales order reference. The shipping reference cannot be repeated.

Special Cases: Stock Orders

A stock JobNo and WorkOrderID are also created by the internal order systems for stock replenishment management. If you use the Stock Re - Order functions based on minimum stock levels, the suffix applied is 'SR'. If you use the Advance Stock Planning Order function, the suffix applied is 'SP'.

Special Cases: JobNo – Add to Current Assembly Order

If a new child item is added to a current assembly work order from Assembly Orders Status management, then a new JobNo is created with a suffix ‘NB’ or not standard Bill of Material.
