To Create Segmented Key

In MYOB Advanced, you can create a segmented key if the preconfigured segmented keys do not meet you needs. To create a segmented key, do the following.

To Create a Segmented Key

1. Open the Segmented Keys (CS202000) form.
2. In the Segmented Key ID box, type the identifier (for example, TESTKEY).
3. In the Lookup Mode box, select the lookup mode. To decide which lookup mode to select, see Segmented Identifiers.
4. Leave the Specific Module box cleared.
   Note: If you want to limit by specific module a usage of this key, in the Specific Module box, select the module.
5. If you want to add an auto numbered segment, select the numbering sequence in the Numbering ID box.
   Note: The selected numbering sequence and the corresponding segment which you will add on the further steps must have the same length (number of characters). Otherwise, the error will occur, and auto numbering will not work.
6. In the Description box, type description for the segmented key.
7. On the table toolbar, click Add Row.
8. In the new row, specify the settings for the new segment:
   1. In the Description column, type description for the segment.
   2. In the Length column, type specify segment length.
      CAUTION: Make sure the total length of all segments does not exceed the maximum length.
   3. In the Align column, leave Left.
   4. In the Edit Mask column, leave Unicode.
   5. In the Case Conversion column, leave Uppercase.
   6. Leave the Validate column cleared. If you need to validate this segment, select the Validate column.
   7. Select the Auto Number column for the segment which must be auto numbered.
      Note: Only one segment of the segmented key can be auto numbered. The numbering sequence selected in the Numbering ID box will be used for automatic number generation.
   8. In the Separator column, leave - or type the character you want to use as a separator between segments.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 the needed number of times.
10. On the form toolbar, click Save.
