Number Series - Mileage

This page describes the Number Series - Mileage setting in the Expenses module.

---

Whenever you enter a new Mileage record, it will be given its own unique identifying number, based on a sequential number series.

You can have more than one sequential number series running at the same time, or at different times. For example, you may want to use different sequences to represent different departments or branches, or you may want to use different sequences to represent different fiscal or calendar years.

The Number Series - Mileage setting allows you to take advantage of this feature. Here you can define the number sequences that you would like to use with Mileage records.

To open the Number Series - Mileage setting, ensure you are in the Expenses module and double-click (Windows/Mac OS X) or tap (iOS/Android) 'Number Series - Mileage' in the 'Settings' list. The following window will appear:

Enter each new Number Series on the first blank line. The sequences that you enter should not overlap. The Comment will be shown in the 'Paste Special' list, so enter some text that will help you choose a number from the correct sequence. The N/L field common to all Number Series settings is not used with Mileage records.

When the setting is complete, click the [Save] button (Windows/Mac OS X) or tap √ (iOS/Android) in the Button Bar to save the changes. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box (Windows/Mac OS X) or tap < (iOS/Android).

When you enter a record in the Mileage register, the next number in the first valid Number Series entered to this setting will be used as a default; change to the next number in any other Number Series using 'Paste Special'.

If you leave the setting empty, Mileage Numbers will start at 1 and continue consecutively. If you want to start from another number, simply specify it in a new Mileage record before saving.
