Definition

This counter is used to number a customer's publications in the list of orders for the IAC Create Complaint.

The reason for numbering the publications is to make it possible to fill selection fields dynamically for the complaint period on the HTML templates, depending on the publication. 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. To enable the system to enter the correct publication dates in the selection fields, the publications are numbered in the ERP System and the publication dates are transferred to the Internet Transaction Server. The numbering is then used on the server to determine the appropriate values in the HTML templates.
