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.
