HRPY - ASSIGNNO

Auto Generate Assignment Numbers
New functionality has been added to the HRTBPC screen to allow the client to auto-generate Assignment Numbers within Job Code, OR within Job Code and Location. The system does not use a seeded value for this auto-generation. It actually looks in PCNTBLE itself to determine the next-sequential, unused Assignment Number within either the Job Code or Job Code/Location combination (depending on common code setup) and displays it to the Assignment Number field. To turn this new functionality on requires the creation of common code HRPY/ASSIGNNO, set up in the following manner. To turn this function off, simply remove this common code from NUUPCD.
Code Category: HRPY
Code Value: ASSIGNNO
Short Description: Not required.
Medium Description: Not required.
Long Description: Used to turn on and control the auto-gen of Assignment Number on HRTBPC.

Associated Codes
1: Enter a numeric value up to 8 digits long (max length of the Assignment Number field on HRTBPC) representing the beginning of the range in which you want Assignment Numbers auto-generated. For example, "0001." Be sure to put in leading zeroes so that you indicate the length of Assignment Number you wish to have generated.
2: Enter a numeric value up to 8 digits long representing the end of the range in which you want Assignment Numbers auto-generated. For example, "9999." Be sure to put in leading zeroes.
Note: the length of the beginning range and ending range values must be the same.
3: Enter Y or N indicating whether or not to do alpha progression once the end of the range is reached. E.g., in the example above where the range is set to 0001 - 9999, if you enter Y here, after the system reaches 9999, it will move on to using alpha progression (e.g., A001,A002..A999,B001,B002….. If you enter N, an error will be given when the end of the range is reached and the system will be unable to auto-generate any more Assignment Numbers within that Job Code OR Job Code/Location combination, depending on the setup in code value 4.
4: Enter J to have the Assignment Number generated within Job Code. Enter L to have the Assignment Number generated within Job Code/Location combination.
