The Define Code Sequences (IMCS) screen is used to setup code sequences that are used through out the system.

‘Define Code Sequences’ Usage and Examples Column Name 
Which column (field) is to be "sequenced". 
Table
This

Table Alias 
This field provides an abbreviated form of the table name. 
Length of Code 
This field indicates the number of characters in the code sequence. 
Zero Filled 
Last # Assigned This is the last number automatically assigned. The next sequence number will be one greater than the number shown here. This value must be between the lowest and the highest values above. 
Lowest Range 
This number specifies the starting point of the automatically sequenced range. 
Highest Range This number specifies the ending point of the automatically sequenced range. When you reach the end of this range, the system will not allow you to create the record being sequenced. At that point you must either enter a manual number, or modify the sequence range. 
Manual Entry Option A toggle to indicate if manual entry is permitted (instead of only allowing the system to generate the sequence value). 
Manual Rule This field identifies how the manual range is to function. Values that may be selected are as follows: 
Manuals within the Range -This is required by entities that block off number ranges for sub-entities and need each sub-entity's manual range to be within their own allocated range. 
Any Numeric Value Allowed -This is used by entities that set up sequencing to ensure that their codes are numeric, but the need to provide manual number is still present. 
Any Value Allowed - This is used by entities that have a requirement to enter manual codes, but there is no requirement to ensure that they are numeric in nature. 
Manual Lowest 
This is the lowest value that may be manually entered. 
Manual Highest 
This is the highest value that may be manually entered.
