Which options does Scope contain to configure numbering? (Dynamic Strings)
In the Dynamic Strings application, the format for all numbers used in Scope is specified, e.g. consignment number, HAWB number, invoice number.
Dynamic strings are generated during the configuration of a new Scope implementation. Your Riege contact can access the Dynamic Strings application and will take care of the configuration.
Each data record saved in Scope is assigned a number. This number can be configured using dynamic values (e.g. branch code) or fixed values (e.g. “AE” = Air Export).
In addition, each setting requires a counter, which can be on 3 possible levels. You can find more information about the levels here:

Our standard number generation for an airfreight export shipment is as follows:
%s-AE-%06d
branchcode; counter_branch(SHIPMENT_NUMBER_AEH)
This configuration reads as follows:
String; hard-coded value; 6-digit numerical value
Scope determines the values for this configuration as follows:
Branch code; counter at branch level
Our standard number generation for an outgoing invoice looks like this:
%06d (or %07d)
counter_legal_entity(OUT_INV_ORIGINAL_NUMBER)
This configuration reads as follows:
6-digit numerical value (or 7-digit numerical value)
Scope determines the values for this configuration as follows:
Counter at legal entity level
Each shipment has exactly one service date in Scope, which can be used to filter the statistics. It is therefore not necessary to include the year and month in the number format.
