I'm sure this questions has been posed and answered but I have looked for a long time and not found it. I apologize if I just overlooked.

My question is can next numbers by company be used for any document type? I have set up a next number by company for doc type WO but it is not using it. I have verified my branch plant set up and that I have it associated with the correct company. I thought this could be done but can't for the life of me figure out how to make it work. Any help is appreciated.
 
In my experience of A7.3 and prior, Next Numbers for Work Orders is not
"supported" on a company by company basis.



That is - a new work order number is "assigned" from a single next
number entry regardless of company/BU/dateUserid or anything else. Yes,
sounds very draconian, but now you know you can work with it - just a
minor problem requiring a small "paradigm shift".



Personally I would have preferred it to be by company (like you would),
but I have not had problems with working with it as it is.



Release A8.x may have changed this approach then again I doubt it, I
didn't notice the last time I worked with A8.x.
