Document Numbering for specifc users

Question

Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to set up a specific numbering series for a specific user? 
For example, we would like one of the order entry people to have a series of 100 while another order entry person has a series of 5000. 
If I am able to set it up this way, how do I do it?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Amanda

Hello Amanda,
The document numbering series can be assign to
different group and you can grant different user authorization to the
group, it mainly includes two steps:
1. Define Series:
- Go to Administration -> System Initialization -> Document Numbering.
- Double-click on the row number of the document type for which you want
to define the numbering. The Serials window opens. Here you can assign
number ranges to a group.
- Up to ten different groups can be defined.
- Only super users can create and maintain number ranges.
- A user who is not defined as a super user can only change the
definition of his or her own default number range, assuming he or she is
authorized to maintain number ranges at all.
2. Define Authorization:
In Administration -> System Initialization -> Authorization -> General
Authorization window, you select the user in the left and define his
authorization under Administration
->System Initialization -> Series - Group.
After the two steps above, a specific user can only view and add the
documents within the series which has been assigned to a specific group
that he has been fully authorized.
Is this what you expect?
