Number control reset application

Resetting the number file at a particular point may be required due to several scenarios, including the following:

Heavy activity.
Auditing requirements.
Dates used as part of the numbering convention.

Number resetting is often performed on a monthly or annual basis, depending on your numbering scheme for that functional area.

The number.reset application is used to force the number file to be reset at a particular time. The application resets the number record to zero (0).

Important: Quote and Order line item numbers are stored in the same out-of-box Line Items file (ocml), distinguished by Q for quotes and O for orders. When you reset numbering, you need to take into account whether future records will conflict with current record numbers. The number must be a unique value, as defined in the database dictionary file for each of the ocm files.

A schedule record must be defined to run in any Service Manager background processor. This record should be set to execute the number.reset application.
