Documentation

Definition

This counter is used to number records for publication dates in a customer's orders for the IAC Create Complaint.

The reason for numbering the records is to make it possible to fill selection fields dynamically for the complaint period on the HTML templates, depending on the publication dates of the order items. For example, a customer who wants to create a complaint in the Internet might have two orders, one of which contains a product published daily and the other a product published monthly. The counter enables the system to enter the correct publication dates in the selection fields. The publication dates are transferred to the Internet Transaction Server for all the different combinations. The numbering is then used on the server to determine the appropriate values in the HTML templates.
