System Number

The application assigns a unique System Number to each asset you enter into the system. The System Number initially begins with 1. However, if you have more than one company, you might want your assets' System Numbers to remain unique. To ensure unique System Numbers, start the System Numbers for additional companies at a much higher level. You can set this in the New Company or Edit Company window.

For example, Company #1 might start at 1, Company #2 at 5001, and Company #3 at 10,001. Always leave plenty of room for growth. The highest available system number is 999,999; therefore, the starting System Number affects the number of assets a company can enter into the system. For example, if you entered a starting system number of 300,000, you could not create more than 700,000 assets for the company.

Important! You cannot change the starting System Number after you begin adding assets.
