Defining generation of document and label numbers

Defining generation of document and label numbers

    You can define how document and label numbers are to be generated when documents are created. You have the following options:

  • None, if you use your own ERP system.

  • Auto (Numeric), if you do not use your own ERP system. With this option, the starting value for the document number is 1 and the value is automatically incremented. This option is not possible with SSCC packaging.

  • Custom Number Range, if you do not use your own ERP system. With this option, you define the starting value for the document number yourself. The value is automatically incremented.

To define the generation, follow these steps:

  1. Open the app Supplier Portal.

  2. Click Settings > Supplier.

  3. Click the table entry.

  4. Click Edit.

  5. In the section Number Ranges in the field Mode select one of the 3 options explained above for each document type (Order Response and so on).

    Note: For document type Packing SSCC: If you select Custom Number Range, the label numbers are generated automatically when a delivery note is created. If you select None, you must enter the label numbers manually when creating a delivery note.
  6. If necessary, enter the start value and, if required, the end value.

  7. Repeat this for all documents that you work with in the app Supplier Portal.

  8. If you only want to enter 17 characters for the SSCC when creating the delivery note and the 18th character (check digit) should be calculated automatically, then select Auto generate SSCC check digit in the section Packing SSCC.

    Note: The SSCC check digit is already included in the SSCC number, if SSCC numbers are generated by your own system. Therefore, if you want to copy and paste the SSCC numbers manually from your system into the corresponding document in the app Supplier Portal then do not select Auto generate SSCC check digit.
  9. Click Save.
