Use this program to:

• Set up customer number ranges for each entity when CARS+ is shared by a corporate entity and/or multiple licensees. (Each entity has its own Posting Company number.)

This number range is used when customer records are entered directly in the Customer File Update program. Its purpose is to control the numbers used by each licensee/entity when setting up direct bill customers in the Customer File. The range of numbers is imposed for both automatic numbers (when F1 is pressed to save the record) and for manual numbering (when F4 is used to save a record). Therefore, it allows each entity to pick their own customer numbers, yet doesn't allow them to use a number that is assigned to someone else.

This number range is not used when a customer record is added through the RA Open or Reservation programs. In those cases, a new customer is assigned the next customer number in a general range that is set up specifically for that purpose.

To access the program, type COCUSNO (RET) at any menu "OPTION:" field or the appropriate number on the Location Control Files Menu. The screen will then display:

1. COMPANY NUMBER	Enter the posting company number for this entity. This number can be found on the second page of the record for a location in Edit Locations file. EXAMPLE: Type 1 (RET)
2. BEGIN CUST #	Enter up to six alphanumeric characters representing the beginning of the customer number range assigned to this posting company. EXAMPLE: Type B00000 (RET
3. END CUST #	Enter up to six alphanumeric characters representing the end of the customer number range assigned to this posting company. EXAMPLE: Type BZZZZZ (RET
4. NEXT CUST #	This field displays what is the next customer number in this range that will be assigned. Also, you may enter the next number within the range that you want the program to assign. EXAMPLE: Type B00123 (RET
