Use this setup to number clauses automatically during creation:

• In the System Administrator responsibility, perform the following steps:

  1. Define a document sequence. Create a new document sequence by providing a name and description. Assign the application as Contracts Core and provide a start date. Also, if the initial value must be different from the default value of 1, provide the value.

     Navigation: Sequential Numbering > Define

  2. Define a sequence category. Define the category using OKC_ARTICLES_ALL as the table to be associated.

     Navigation: Sequential Numbering > Categories

  3. Assign the category to a set of books. Associate the category that is defined with the set of books and sequence.

     Navigation: Sequential Numbering > Assign

  4. Navigate to the System Profile Options page and set the Sequential Numbering profile option to Always Used.

  5. Navigate to the Organizations creation page. Under the Operating Unit classification, click Others to navigate to the Additional Information region. Select Contract Terms Setup, and for the field Clause Sequence Category, select the document sequence category that you defined in the earlier step. For more information, see the Setting Up Operating Units section.

     Note: When you have completed the AutoNumbering setup, you are ready to create clauses. However, you must bounce the server anytime you update the Sequential Numbering profile option that is used in this setup. If you do not, the system may display an error message when you try to open the Create Clauses page.

For more information about setting up AutoNumbering feature, see the Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide.
