SYNO - PEIDNUMS or PEIDTEMP

PE ID Number Seeds
When developing the ID format for permanent and temporary entities, it is important that temporary IDs be easily identifiable. At a later date the temporary IDs may be selected and purged through a PE Utility. The utility can be requested and selection criteria entered to cause a purge of all temporary IDs. The following common code entry must be set up before Person / Entity ID numbers can be system generated.
Code Category: SYNO
Code Value: x…. Enter the value associated with type of seed number being entered. The value for permanent IDs is "PE IDNUMS" and the value of temporary IDs is "PE IDTEMP."
Short Description: Used to describe the common code.
Medium Description: Used to describe the common code.
Long Description: Used to describe the common code.
To define the code, enter "SYNO" in the Code Category field; enter either "PEIDNUMS" for permanent PE IDs or "PEIDTEMP" for temporary PE IDs in the Code Value field. Next, enter descriptions in the Short and Medium descriptions. Enter the starting seed number for PE IDs in the Associated Numeric Value field. There must be exactly five places to the right of the decimal point. The next field is the Associated Code field. In order for the seed to have an alphanumeric prefix, enter the prefix, right-justified, in the first six positions of the field. The last two positions, left-justified, are used to show the length of the seed number; number of digits in the numeric part of the PE ID.
