Sequential numbering is a requirement for many applications. Accounting data is a particularly heavy application usage with respect to invoices, quotations, and other receivables and payables documentation. c-treeACE offers two new methods of automated numbering.
Consider global operations against multiple servers that require a single numbering scheme. This requires a persisted pool, and indeed, many c-treeACE applications have implemented their own unique solutions. c-treeACE V10 introduces a generic method to create, maintain, and access multiple sources of sequential numbers through a new persisted Sequence feature.
An auto-incremented IDENTITY field has also been added. Specify the base and increment for a numeric field and each time a new c-treeACE record is added this field is updated. For more information, see Auto-Numbering Support.
