Definition

Defines the material number that is stored in the sequential file. You have the following options:

  • I internal number assignment

    The system assigns a number when you save the data.

  • E external number assignment

    The system uses the material number specified by you. This is not practical, however, since this file can then no longer be transferred to the system.

  • N new number is generated

    The system generates a new number for external number assignment. This is necessary if the material type does not allow internal number assignment. The number generated has the following format:

    ZZZddddddddtttttt

    Key:
    ZZZ = <First three characters of the material number>
    dddddddd = Current date
    tttttt = Current time
