Numbering Schemes

Multiple numbering schemes can be attached to different types of Audit Management records. Default numbering schemes are provided with the application, however, you can create your own or modify the existing default schemes' formats. SmartSolve numbering scheme objects use .NET formats. There are five default numbering schemes supplied with the system:

SS_AUDIT_NumberingScheme - Audit Numbering Scheme
SS_AUDIT_PROGRAM_NumberingScheme - Audit Program Numbering Scheme
SS_AUDITEE_NumberingScheme - Auditee Numbering Scheme
SS_CRITERIA_NumberingScheme - Criteria Numbering Scheme
SS_RESPONSE_NumberingScheme - Response Numbering Scheme

Important Information about Numbering Schemes

Numberings can have both a prefix and a suffix if needed.
Numbers can be padded using the following formula {0,1:D4} – last number (4) represents # of digits, such as CRI– 0001.
It helps to start with the next number first, such as1 – CRI, because all records are listed alphanumerically by record number and this provides quick querying.
SmartSolve records do not need date values because you can now search for records by dates; however, if needed this can be configured.
SmartSolve records do not need business unit identifiers because the system allows you to search and sort for records by business unit; however, if needed this can be configured.
Most customers number their records using a next number with a suffix identifying the type of record, such as CRI.
A numbering scheme can show an actual example server date.
