Document Numbering Format Flexibility

19 December 2025

Customer Introduction

This customer is an auto component manufacturer in Gujarat.

Challenge

OurSys had its own document numbering system and there was no flexibility to change it. Owing to this, customers had to compromise on their document numbering style and adapt to OurSys style of numbering. But there were situations where customers could not adopt and hard coding numbering was not an elegant option.

The Solution

We developed a totally flexible document numbering system. Now, users can define their own format by simply creating a formula of variables based on multiple factors. Factors include Financial Year, Document Code, Number of digits in sequence, Series reset option of yearly as well as monthly, company location and company division.

The Result / Benefits

This has provided for ultimate flexibility resulting in fitting in all varieties of customer document series.

This feature has been released recently in 25.48. All those who wish to alter their series in the next financial year can try it out now.
