Contract Structures Setup Form
You use contract structures to define formats for contract numbers.
A contract structure determines the number of segments in a contract number, the order in which the segments appear, and the position and type of separator and prefix characters in a contract number. You can define several contract structures, so that you can use several different contract number formats.
Contract numbers can contain a separator character between consecutive segments and a prefix character in front of the first segment. Note that the maximum number of characters permitted for a structure, including separator characters, is 16.
Before you add contract structures, you must use the Segments tab on the Options form to define contract number segments and to specify the separator characters you want to use in contract numbers.
You can define as many structures as you need, but you must define at least one.
