Document Numbering Class-An overview

Document numbering is basically required for traceability purposes across business components and across locations to identify the reason due to which a business transaction has taken place. Most business functions such as purchasing, accounting and engineering have a need to provide a unique identity to a document across the process flows. The numbering pattern for the document would largely depend on the type of transaction and the organization unit in which the transaction is taking place.

This  business component aids the user in defining a pattern consisting of a prefix and  suffix. The document numbers are generated sequentially using the services of this business component.
