Job Number Format

SOLVED

Hello,

Is there an option within Sage 300 CRE that allows you to add digits to job numbers? Our current format is limited to 8 characters (i.e. 40-12345). The reason why we may need more characters is due to an acquisition we made that enters into a large amount of jobs each year.

Thank you.

    It depends on what section of your Job number you want to change.  You can increase the length of the first section of your Job IDs up to the character limit of 10 (excluding punctuation). Since you already have 5 characters in the second section, you can only increase the size of the first section by 3 characters.   See KB article 19814 for further information. If you need to change the format to add addtional sections or change the size of the second section, a Key change will be required.  If you would like to get a quote to determine the cost of having a key change performed you can email me (please include your Sage client number) at [email protected] and I will have someone contact you.
